I meant that I don't care whatever character CSJ plays. A Korean media criticized him for playing a Silla character, because CSJ is famous for playing people related to Silla's rival Goguryo(Wang Guhn, DJY).

It is going to be interesting how they handle this one because Taejong is somewhat viewed as a sellout who collaborated with Tang to destroy two Korean Kingdoms and also gave away Korean Territory to Tang ....You know KBS are probably going to whitewash him and turn him into a heroic warrior which will at least upset historians to say the least .

In DJY, they downplayed Silla's role, especially Kim Yu Shin, in bringing down Baekjae and Goguryo. They instead chose to focus on Tang.

I think it's a mistake to paint it as Shilla betraying their "own". The Korean identity didn't form until late unified Shilla. Back then, Goguryeo, Baekje, and Shilla were different countries.

Think its safe to assume that it will be viewed as two wars that just happened to coincide rather than an alliance .

The start date of this show has been postponed to this fall.
It was originally supposed to start in May, but KBS does not have enough money to make the drama right now.
It could possibly even be moved to January 2013.

I'm sure the strike isn't helping their cause.

They may have cold feet on this one it is a sticky subject after all and it is hard to follow a big hero like Gwanggaeto with a somewhat dubious character .
It would make more sense considering the popularity of Gwanggaeto to keep it going as long as they can .

Muyeol's been postponed, but Gwanggaeto didn't get extended. 100th episode will be the last episode.

Yeah, that's what they did with Iron Empress. Or tried to do--some of the "spinning" was plausible and some wasn't.
