God's Gift: 14 Days
God's Gift: 14 Days (Korean: 신의 선물 - 14일) is a South Korean television drama series that aired on SBS from March 3 to April 22, 2014. The series, directed by Lee Dong-hoon and written by Choi Ran, follows the story of Kim Soo-hyun, a mother who travels back in time in an effort to prevent the death of her child.
Production
The production faced scheduling adjustments due to the 2014 Winter Olympics, which delayed the premiere of the first episode. The initial script reading was held on February 3, 2014, at a book cafe in the Gangnam District of Seoul. Lee Bo-young began filming her scenes on February 7, 2014, at the Seoul Broadcasting System studios in Mok-dong.
Casting changes occurred during pre-production; Lee Gi-kwang of the K-pop group Beast was originally cast as the character Te-oh, the leader of the rock group Snake. He eventually withdrew from the project due to scheduling conflicts with his musical activities, and actor No Min-woo was cast in the role.
Broadcast and Special Episode
The series occupied the Monday and Tuesday 21:55 time slot on SBS, succeeding A Word From Warm Heart. Following the conclusion of the main series, a special episode aired on April 28, 2014. This episode featured behind-the-scenes footage, cast interviews, and highlights from the series. The special was scheduled during a period when the premiere of the subsequent drama, Doctor Stranger, was delayed due to a baseball broadcast.
