Then why didn’t anything happen when KBS aired JDJ? Because LIY in JDJ was a very cool character despite being a villain. He wasn't one of your average "cartoonish-evil" character so to say. LIY in JDJ was a villain, but he had his own justifiable reason and had many impressive lines. He also showed his loyalty to Goryeo dynasty near his final parts, showing that he was at least someone who was loyal to the country despite being a villain. I heard that LIY's descendants actually thanked the writer for making their ancestor look cool. On the other hand, the Lee In-Gyeom character in Six Flying Dragons was your average plain evil villain.

I forgot to mention that I recently watched The Night Owl.
It’s about a blind acupuncturist who gets caught up in palace shenanigans during Injo’s reign.
Pretty average for “ordinary but talented person gets involved Royal court intrigue” stories, but is pretty suspenseful. Ending gets contrived in places though.

This is going to be a flashback heavy movie isn’t it, considering Hideyoshi died before Noryang

Looks that way . I am really surprised that Lady Chacha and Ishida Mitsunari are not in the cast ( yet ? ). They are more crucial to the events leading up to Sekigahara than the Imjin war to be Fair . What we probably won’t see is how unpopular the Imjin war was with the Damiyo( not for any moral reason but financially of course ) With Hideyoshi dead they all voiced their discontent . Mitsunari tried to run things which backfired spectacularly as Fukushima and Kato wanted to kill him .
If anyone is interested the Shogun remake with Sanada Hiroyuki and Asano Tadanobu starts on FX on Feb 27 th .

I
I’ve noticed they’re characterizing Chun as really smug. Maybe it’s accurate but I don’t have in-depth knowledge about this tpic.
I have a prediction about the Noryang film since truth said Yi Soon Shin’s son Yi Myun was cast. They’re going to frame Myun’s death at the hands of the Japanese as fuel for Yi Soon Shin’s vengeful motivations for going after the withdrawing Japanese despite the Chinese telling him the war is over.

Has there been any backlash towards 12.12 The Day? I kind of expected such a thing considering the topic
