3. Hello everyone! It's Kang Unnie & MissPM. Now that Season 1 has come to an end, we want to take this opportunity to talk a bit about what it was like working on Moonlight Garden.
4. "Justice from the sky!!"
5. "Wanna enter a comic contest?"
6. "Sure."
8. Since we like to write and draw, we always thought, "Maybe we could do a webtoon series together someday." So when we saw an ad for the Lezhin Comic Contest, we decided to put our aspirations to the test.
9. "waaaaah! There's not enough time!"
10. "Gaaahh, we're screweddd!"
11. But producing a webtoon was totally different from the small projects we used to take on as a hobby. There were so many things to do, so much to learn, and never enough time...
Laden…Laden…
1. "Wanna turn your entry into a series?"
3. "For realz?!"
4. We ended up...not winning anything, but... thanks to our wonderful producer, who saw potential in our series, we were able to bring Moonlight Garden to you!
5. Once we signed our contract, we spent a year getting our series ready, and another year serializing...
6. Throughout our long journey, we were met with lots of challenges, but we're relieved, now that we've finished the first season and are writing this Creator's Note.
Laden…Laden…
1. And now, a little backstory...
2. Below are a few things about Moonlight Garden that we didn't get a chance to mention while working on the series.
3. 1. Moonlight Garden was originally planned as a revenge tale centering around Yunwoo, Dohwa, and Yoosun. Hyewon was the villain (LOL). A tale rife with death...! Revenge...! Secrets...! Something like that.
1. But because we thought the plot was too dark and complicated, we decided to scrap everything except for the characters and setting. And that's how the current version of Moonlight Garden came to be.
2. 2. Yunhwa's real name is Joo Yunhee. We were going to reveal it in the Season Finale, but decided not to for various reasons.
6. All flower maidens that live in Moonlight Garden are named after flowers. But those who spent living in the outside world, like Dohwa, have names their parents gave them. Yunhwa came to Moonlight Garden at 7 years old, which is why she has another name.
1. 3. Here are Yunwoo and Yunhwa's character profiles!
4. "Lone wolf...!"
5. "Puppy...!"
6. 4. Dohwa isn't close to anyone but Yunhwa. This is because she initially planned to escape from Moonlight Garden, and so distanced herself from everyone there. But Yunhwa reached out to Dohwa and became a good friend she could depend on, which helped Dohwa adjust to her new life at Moonlight Garden.
1. 5. Yoosun is ambidextrous. She was born left-handed, but had to learn how to use her right hand to act as Hyewon's double.
2. "Lucky..."
3. 6. When she's not acting as Hyewon's double, Yoosun has a lot of free time. Having spent ten-odd years studying, practicing martial arts, painting, learning poetry, calligraphy, and painting, etc., she has grown into a jack-of-all-trades. In short, Yoosun is a loaded and hard-working unemployed woman...
4. "why?"
5. "what?"
6. "what to you want?"
7. 7. Hyewon is good at telling stories. Aftet ten-odd years of telling Yoosun about her daily activities, she's become a great storyteller, but she's usually quite reserved...so no one knows this about her except for Yoosun.
1. "I hate blooming!"
2. That's all we have for now!
3. Season 2 will center around Dohwa's blooming (we know a lot of you have been waiting for this!). We also have plenty of character development in store, so please look forward to Season 2!
4. "Thank you."
5. And lastly... we'd like to say a big thank you to those who embarked on this journey with us and those who helped with the creation of Season 1. We love you!
6. We'd also like to send our love to everyone who'll stick around for Season 2 and continue this incredible journey with us...♡
7. See you in June with Moonlight Garden Season 2! Until then, please take care and don't forget us...!!
