DJY specials

[jinju0]

i guess we won't be seeing the specials for DJY. but the special tonight for GKS was great. it is always exciting when a new drama starts.

It was very interesting to watch; I was shocked at how much they payed for GKS's wardrobe, alone... what a person would do for $50k, eh?

What caught my attention was the boy who will be playing Sejong when he was a child; that kid actor played a main character called Daham in a children's series "The Hwarang Fighters". A series which ended last summer (I believe), it was about how the spirits of five ancient warriors, who in an attempt to save the world from an evil entity, each entered into a chosen child. The children are secretly trained how to use their powers by a kind, mysterious spirit called Sully who is in human form. I laughed, because the center character of "The Hwarang Fighters," Maru, briefly portrayed Dae JoYoung as a child when he was a slave in General Gaesoman's household!

I was rather dissappointed when they didn't show some kind of special for DJY like they did for the IYSS series (I always love the "behind the scenes" and this-is-how-we-made-it-and-this-is-how-the-"characters"/actors-are-really-like. ) Oh well. I'm sure GKS will be a great series.

Well, I sure didn't share your enjoyment of the preview show, but like both of you I was disappointed that they didn't have any post-series specials for DJY. I was very much hoping for a historical special like the post-IYSS one. It would have been very interesting to see what was known about the historical DJY and what artifacts remained from that time period. And yeah, it would have been great to see some behind-the-scenes stuff, especially to show how some of the more elaborate stunts were done. Those stunt guys were the unsung heroes of the series.

I wonder if specials were aired in Korea but not here. Can any of our native Korean friends tell us one way or the other?

No specials here in Korea, too.
Inspite of many Korean fans' posts appealing for the specials...on the KBS fan board.

KBS has done specials on past shows!?!?!
Doing a special for DJY would be great, whether a production special or historical special, or both!! ;D

jojo,

The two extra DVDs you got with your IYSS series has the behind the scenes and the making of the show.
I guess they didn't have one available for DJY .

Oh! I don't remember seeing two extra DVD's with IYSS. I did get something about seasons, in it's own box. I'll have to check again. I've only watched the first episode to check on quality. (I'm waiting for DJY to finish.)
