They might do what you feared, just to make the drama stand out against the rest.

I also hope they neither use flying people or the tired back story of slaves becoming gladiators in Tang i.e. Emperor of the Sea 2.0

I doubt that he was a gladiator, but he really was a slave in Tang. He started out as a slave, managed to become a Tang general, and returned to Shilla to work for his country.

I didn't know he was a slave, I thought his records were missing until he became a Tang general.
I just don't want them to use this backstory in this show because it would be repetitive.

Emperor we always forget that one when it comes to Shilla Dramas . I actually really liked it but its a shame it has become the blueprint for most K Historicals since .

Emperor of the Sea was perfectly fine, since Jang Bogo actually was a slave. Seo Dong Yo was fine. Although it's not recorded in any history book, legend says King Mu used to sell yams before becoming king. But such story should've stopped there. DJY, Cheonchu, QSD, Gwanggaeto, Yeon Gae So Moon had never been slaves and King Geunchogo was not a salt merchant.
If you want to make a drama about people who had harsh peasant life before becoming king, why don't they just make dramas out of people who actually did? King Michun of Goguryeo(Sayu's dad) was a salt merchant before becoming king. King Chul Jong of Chosun was a woodcutter before becoming king.

Thank god they didn't do the slave plot device to Yi Soon Shin (though in his case even though his family was yangban, their financial situation was not that different from peasants; I think the traitor part due to Jo Gwang jo is fiction though).
As for DJY, to be fair, not alot about his early life is known, though still, it doesn't stop the slave plot device from being a hackneyed cliche.
Deokman in QSD wasn't really a slave in that drama (though came close to one in one episode), but I know that she grew up inside the palace in real history. The story about her father receiving a box of peony seeds from the Emperor Taizong of Tang accompanied by a painting of flowers, and rer observation about the peonies' lack of smell is an indicator of this.

Jung Sung Mo, the actor that played Mishil's husband in QSD, has been casted for the role of Baekje general Yoon Choong. Gwanggaeto looks like DJY Season 2 and Gyebaek might be QSD season 2.

Ahn Gil Gang, the actor that played Mishil's bodyguard Chil Sook in QSD, will also be in this drama as a bad guy.

Real mother in history) This actress played Jumong's mother in Jumong. 4th actor : Choi Jong Hwan - King Mu (Uija's father) Younger version of him was made into drama in SBS Seo Dongyo. 5th actor : Ahn Gil Gang (bad guy role, fictional. Chil Sook in QSD) 6th actor : Yoon Da Hoon (bad guy role, fictional) 7th actor : Kim Yu Seok - Heung Soo 8th actor : Jin Tae Hyun - Queen Sataek's son(fictional character). It looks like this guy is going to be Yeo Chan of Gyebaek and King Uija is going to be Yeo Gu. Queen Sataek's role is probably gonna be similar to that evil queen from Geunchogo. This drama is set to start in Korea on July 25th. I haven't been watching any historical since Geunchogo ended cuz Gwanggaeto sucks ass, so it looks like this is gonna be my next historical. I'm not watching Gwanggaeto for 5 reasons. 1. I hate the main actor. 2. The same old slave storyline which never happened in history. 3. Too much yelling. The director of Gwanggaeto is known for making everyone in his drama yell all the time. It was the same in DJY. I liked DJY, but I don't want to watch another season of DJY(thats basically what this drama is) I mean like almost all actors from DJY are back in this drama 4. Childish dialogue 5. Flaming sword

Now I am forced to say that maybe or maybe not, I will/won't watch this drama Gyebaek, due to the fact that I dislike the main actor. [Mod note: fixed quote. -Bo]
