Just watched ep1 and 2 and here's my opinion on what I've seen so far....
This drama sucks
There has been no history in it so far. It's been all fiction like QSD.
I can't stand the blond guy, blond girl, girl with a skinny jean, and everyone who are dressed like Lord of the Rings.
Why Kim Yushin is trying to kill Kim Choon Chu in the first few minutes of ep1 is beyond me.
KBS shouldn't make historicals anymore
God of War>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Every KBS historicals made since 2008.

Truth, that's disappointing to hear, but I am not surprised. With how low the ratings on God of War are, even MBC America doesn't have much concern for it given the lack of interest. Even the low ratings Dr. Jin is getting more of their preference for their distribution hubs, while MBC America almost ignores God of War for online distribution (other than having it at their partner site. It wouldn't make much sense for KBS to do the same thing after the big investment. I blame KDrama watchers for creating this new environment. I bet it'll get worse, series like Faith is getting so much attention and love in the english blogs, everyone's going crazy for it. UGH I bet KBS will be thinking about doing this for international viewers in the future since KBS hasn't really had any new hip fusion historical while MBC and SBS have a lot of them, and now when Moon Embracing the Sun and Faith are getting such big money overseas, while no one cares about more accurate Historicals anymore, well except the few of us. KBS might be thinking they are behind the curve of trends now.

What has become of this age. THis isn't the best comparison but to think media was from the bloodthirsty vampiric monsters such as Bela Lugosi and Christopher Lee has been reduced to a bunch of sparkling pixies, the same has happened to historicals in Korea
Yushin trying to kill Chunchu? Huh?

@sageuk Yes, Kim Yushin accuses KCC of being a Tang ass kisser, which is nonsense since Kim Yushin supported KCC all the way. KCC also says he will kick Tang out after conquering Goguryeo. That's also false since his son Moonmu planned that, not KCC.
I also hate the actress playing the young Deokman. I hate her plastic surgery eyes and her circle lenses. Why the heck would you wear freaking circle lenses in a saguek?
At least she only did her eyes(or at least thats how it seems to me) The girl wearing leather skinny jeans obviously had her whole face done(or at least her nose. Her face kinda reminds me of Michael Jackson, no disrepect to MJ though.)
I don't understand why fat version of Heihachi from Tekken is in this.
Not to mention the teenage girl fighting and killing 10 men.
The blond guy is still alive after getting stabbed by a spear, shot by 15 arrows, getting stabbed by Bi Hyung's 5 knives on the back of the neck, and falling off the cliff into water.
Young Kim Yushin's lover dyed her hair red brown.
Bi Hyung looks like Aragorn without beard and is dressed like Aragorn. He fights like Wolverine. He fights with 5 knives that are glued together, which looks like Wolverine's claws.
The drama has been all-fiction so far. Some of the historical flaws include : Bi Hyung living outside the palace, Kim Yong Choon using military to attack his half-brother Bi Hyung, and Gildal(the blond guy) almost killing young Kim Yushin.
I should have known this would happen on the first time I heard the director of IE will be directing this drama.
All hail God of War! All hail Lee Hwan Gyung!

i see somewhere that the old version 1992 KBS Samgukgi DVDs released if anyone gets it please share , it's nowhere to be found on the internet except for images. I want to watch it... i have nothing to say about this show at the time but just wanna wait for more things to come up ... hope they'll be better. i am historical buffs more concern about histories accuracy and fictional like QSD or IE ... can be acceptable for me but not fusions. And beside do you guys mean KBS willing to imitating SBS and MBC making fusions ?? by the way truth, are you willing to tell us about history stories ?

Hey, DYC, remember when you said that the writers and producers have more power when it comes to TV shows? It appears some of my misgivings about the direction was right, according to truth. Of course the writer is also at fault here considering certain story decisions described here, but you get the idea

I just hope he manages to find work, but considering that GoW's ratings are low, chances are the majority of producers may not be interested in him. After all, lets all face it, ratings mean everything in the TV business. Of course then again there's always the producers who make shows for mostly for the art

In my opinion, the last good KBS Staurday-SUnday run was the Korean War drama COmrades
