Okay, there's about 2 months left until this drama starts. But I'm gonna start a thread early to post informations on the drama.
The drama picks up from the final parts of KBS Age of Warrior and it is about the second half of military dictatorship during Koryo dynasty. The drama will also focus on the creation of Tripitaka Koreana, which is one of Korea's national treasure.
Director : Kim Jin Min (past dramas : Shindon, Road No.1)
Writer : Lee Hwan Gyung (Tears of Dragon, Emperor Wang Guhn, Yeon Gae So Moon)
The filming had already started. This is Kim Joo Hyuk(son of Kim Moo Saeng, the actor who played Yi Sung Gye in Tears of Dragon) playing the main character Kim Joon. It looks like he's working somewhere as a slave. Unlike many other historical figures in drama, this guy actually was a slave before he rose to power. He took over as the new warrior dictator after killing Choi Ui in 1258 and putting an end to the long Choi regime.
He started out as the ruling dictator Choi family's slave. Kings didn't have any power at the time and the country was basically ruled by Choi family(Similar to Tokugawas in Japan). He won the favor of Choi Woo and became a close subject of Choi Hang. He was murdered by Yim Yeon in 1268, who then took over as the new military dictator.
