In addition to the list I've written in the last page... Some of the Joseon dynasty thinkers like Huh Gyoon thought Koryo was a better dynasty. Huh Gyoon(1569-1618), the author of Hong Gil Dong, wrote that our country(Joseon) is so much worse than the previous dynasty(Koryo). By the way, Yi Soon Shin is supposed to be dating this guy's sister in the upcoming SBS fantasy drama. Was he hanged for subversive thought? No, his haters framed him of treachery because they were jealous of his success. His preference of Koryo over Joseon had nothing to do with his death. He was quartered to death. A person wouldn't be killed just because he said a certain dynasty was better than Joseon. Some people also wrote Goguryeo and Balhae were better dynasties, because they conquered vast amount of territories compared to Joseon. A person would be killed for saying Joseon dynasty should end as of this moment. Joseon dynasty itself promoted good things of Koryo as well since they claimed to be the successors of Koryo, which is why they enshrined King Gongmin and his wife in the Royal Shrine of Joseon dynasty and praised Jeong Mongju, who was killed by Yi Bangwon for his loyalty towards Koryo, as the greatest model of loyalty.

... Nice Guy had me at Moon Chae Won lol. Yes, she is very good. She was stellar as the downtrodden step-sister in Shining Inheritance, and even better as the clueless "love interest" of Moon Geun-young ("other Moon" ) in Painter. But I'm betting you like her because she's pretty. Bo

There's talk that Won Bin and Kim Tae Hee will play the leads in an upcoming drama by writer No Hee Kyung. It's still being written so nothing has been confirmed yet. The drama isn't expected to air until 2013. There's a rumor it'll be the Korean adaptation of a Japanese drama. Won Bin's last K-Drama was Autumn Fairly Tale back in 2000. Kim Tae Hee's last drama was My Princess in 2011.

2013 is going to be another year of fusion/fantasy sagueks.
Every sageuks except Dream of the Great King will be fusion/fantasy.
Here are new sageuk line-ups for next year as of now.
MBC - Unknown, but it is rumored that QSD writers will come back with a new sageuk.
SBS - The Yi Soon Shin fantasy
KBS
1. Jeon Woo Chi(same name as the movie, but will have different story without time travel. The original Jeon Woo Chi story is about a magician who goes around punishing evil nobles)
2. Joseon 119(January 2013) - A drama about Joseon dynasty firefighters. 119 is the Korean number for 911.
3. Sword and Flower - 100% fictional sageuk(like Moon Embraces Sun) set during Goguryeo. A girl disguises herself as a guy and creates a gang to get revenge on the rival family that destroyed her family and caused the death of her father. However, she falls in love with the young man of the rival family.
4. The writer of King of Baking Kim Tak Gu will be writing a new sageuk, but the title or the synopsis of the drama is unknown.
It looks like my only hope is Dream of the Great King.

Truth forgot to mention that the upcoming Myongryang movie is being directed by the same person who did War of the Arrows, which only excites me more. When is this film coming out anyway?

Truth , are you sure Kim Namgil will join the Joseon 119 ? it's too early to affirm he does debut with that drama. Anyways, I want to tell my friend, who is a fan of Kim , this good piece of news. And about QSD writers, the two persons will co-operate or working individually ?

@sageuk I don't know. HungVI'm sorry, it turned out to be a rumor. Kim Namgil denied being casted to the drama. Yes, two writers would be cooperating if the rumor is true, which is why I said writers, not writer.

Thanks you as usual for the great update information, truth. Always very grateful for your keeping us up to date. Although, I'm no happier than you are with the content! Sounds like it will be a year to catch up on past stuff I haven't seen.
