Although no casualties were reported, as no one was on the set at the time of the fire, a building on the 3,655 square meter set and some lighting equipment were destroyed.
As the series is still in the early stages of production with no release date announced, it remains uncertain how the fire incident will affect its schedule. Meanwhile, the ongoing investigation has yet to determine the exact cause of the fire.
