kdrama1-7, Exercise 2: Live shoot and Woo's ratings

Model answer:

In the live-shoot model, the first four episodes are usually shot in advance, and the rest are shot continuously as the series airs; productions use three camera crews, and the article says the model remains widely used, although some 2016 dramas were fully pre-produced. The article does not say why the system exists or how it affects the writing, and it does not say which of the three example dramas used it.

Extraordinary Attorney Woo (ENA, 2022) began at 0.948 percent nationwide for episode 1, reached 4.032 percent for episode 3 (said to set the record for the highest rating in ENA history), and ended at 17.534 percent nationwide (19.210 percent in Seoul) for episode 16. The "ENA record" claim is cited to a single source.
