Drama Demo/Tutorial Page

Drama
If you are doing a drama show page follow this information until it says End of Drama Section.

If you are doing a drama show page you will add in Cast members next. Cast members section will include Main, Supporting, Guesting, and additional. You do not need all of those things some shows just list main and supporting or guest. Just depends on the drama's popularity, or how long the drama ran.

To add a cast member section you will do the same as before with Plot but write Cast instead. then you will write Main, highlight it, go to paragraph change it to Subheading 1 then hit enter and under that you write the persons name and what role they played. If you dont want to add a whole lot of information about each character on the show then highlight the names and hit the bullet point above then move on to the supporting, guesting and additional sections if you have them if not you can move on to the next part.

If you want to add a bio of every main character on the show and the supporting characters you can do that just make sure the bio stays with the character name and doesn't move to the next bullet point. to do that at the end of the persons name hit enter then tab. that will keep the bio with that persons name and look more organized as shown.

Tip: it's a lot easier to write everyone's names in the bullet points first then to add the bios.

The next part you will add for a Drama page is Production. To add a Production section you will do the same as before with Plot but write Production instead. You do not have to add a production section if you don't want too.

Production
This section should be filled out like the plot section but this section is geared more towards what they had to do or what they did to get the show produced. how the recruited people the costs of things, what happened during producing the show such as injuries, set backs, did they add additional things after the show such as ost releases music videos, games, deleted scenes bloopers. In this section if you want to break it down into areas you can by going to the same area as production and instead of Heading you will go to Sub-Heading 1. Next you will type the title of that section such as Pre-production, Legal or Cancellation. then you will add information about that area under that.

This page will be using Descendants of the Sun as an example.

Descendants of the Sun was fully pre-produced before airing which is a departure from the live-shoot production format that characterizes most Korean dramas. The drama is Song Joong-ki's comeback project after serving his two years of mandatory military service. The production cost 13 billion won (approximately $10.8 million) to produce.

On November 25, 2015, it was announced that actor Song Joong-ki injured his arm while filming an action scene for the drama on November 23. On December 7, 2015, Song Joong-ki returned to work only 2 weeks after he was injured and spotted filming at a station in Seoul. The MERS-CoV outbreak in South Korea in 2015 also seriously hampered filming schedules. The outbreak claimed the lives of 33 people, according to WHO.

Pre-production
After the success of Descendants of the Sun, the industry saw a shift toward pre-production of Korean dramas. This is because pre-production allowed producers to secure investment and distribution in a carefully planned fashion and allowed the show to air simultaneously in China, thus bringing greater profits. Kim Won-seok, co-writer of Descendants of the Sun, said the system helps raise the quality of the drama. However, apart from Descendants of the Sun, none of the other pre-produced dramas thus far such as Moon Lovers: Scarlet Heart Ryeo, Uncontrollably Fond, and Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth have been successful.

Legal
Production company NEW said that there have been hundreds of violations of their publicity rights by businesses, in an attempt to take advantage of the drama's success. The announcement came about when lead actress Song Hye-kyo sued jewelry firm J.Estina for using her pictures for promotion though the contract ended in January. J.Estina said in a press release that it abided by the contract with production staff of Descendants of the Sun, which allowed it to use stills from the episodes as one of the main sponsors of the series. However, NEW refuted the claims, saying that the jewelry firm's arguments lacked legal grounds. Song Hye-kyo eventually won the legal battle and donated the damages received to charity.

After that section is done or if you chose to skip that section you can go to the next part which is Original Soundtrack(OST).

Original Soundtrack
Some shows will release their shows soundtrack information. If you don't want to do this or dont have one for your show feel free to skip this part. in this first section under the title you will add information about the sound track such as

The soundtrack of the series topped local music charts. Pre-orders for the soundtrack album surpassed the 10,000 mark, and eventually sold over 60,000 copies.

Then you will move on to making the sound track table to do that hit enter and go to insert and add a table then click on the table turn caption off and hit apply. *Only keep the caption on if your soundtrack has 2 volumes so you can keep the soundtracks separated and organized.*

you can add more rows or columns by clicking on the > arrows on the side of the table. the top arrow adds a column left or right the one on the left side adds one up or down. Write No. for number, title, artist and length in that order. then fill out the information.

Next you'll add episodes. You can do this one of two ways. You can either make a table or write information for each episode. This wiki will show both ways but please only pick one.

Episodes
Option 1: For the episodes part make a header like every other time before but write Episodes instead. Then hit enter and write Episode 1 or if the episode has a title write that instead then write (Month Day, Year) episode played and then write a small overview of the episode and what happened during it. do this for every episode the show had then move on to the next part.

Episode 1 (January 22, 2016)
The contestants enter the studio where 101 seats are arranged in a pyramid with a chair for the '#1' trainee at the top. They are introduced by their label and choose seats from 1 to 101. The contestants are then asked to perform by agency. Each individual trainee is judged based on their overall talents and are graded and organized into classes; A being the highest and F the lowest. At the end of the episode the popularity ranking is shown with JYP Entertainment's Ennik Somi Douma (Jeon So-mi) in first place.

Episode 2 (January 29, 2016)
After being grouped according to the grades given to the trainees, Jang Keun-suk announced that they will be performing on M! Countdown and are given the song "Pick Me" which they must learn in the following days. Their line distribution and overall participation in the performance will be decided from their groups, in which case A would have the most lines while F would be backup dancers. They are informed they will have 3 days to practice, and then be reassigned to their final groups after a re-evaluation. The trainees are filmed individually performing the song which will then be watched and evaluated by the mentors. They are then given their new grades and asked to move to their new rooms by grade. The episode ends with JYP's Jeon So-mi's name tag being shown on the screen, presumably to have been moved from group A.

As the same as before make a Ranking header hit enter and write information about the ranking like how the voting was set up, how many contestants could make it to the end of the show and anything else related to the voting/ranking system. after that make another table and list out the final ranks for the show. Even if your show only has one winner you can make a final rankings chart and just list everyone in order of eliminations. EX. Big Brother, K-pop Star, Street Woman Fighter(just list the team names).

Option 2: For the episodes part make a header like every other time before but write Episodes instead. Then hit enter and go to insert click table and write Episode, Air date, Synopsis and Guest/Notes in the grey bar. Write in the information and delete any extra columns and rows. After that's done click somewhere inside the table and go to properties. and turn off Caption.

If your show has more then one season or more then 10 episodes you can choose to turn on Collapsible and Collapsed initially options in the properties menu. this will make the episodes collapsed when the page loads and allows the option for people to un collapse the episodes part. If you do the collapsible option please add a new row on the top, highlight that whole row and merge the cells then right in the season number.
