KBS got a new president last November. I haven't been able to get too many details about these guys but the previous president seemed to be hyper-focused on the revenue side. The new guy talked very early on about things like public service, program quality and taking advantage of digital distribution opportunities. No question that's why we have KBS in Chicago again and why some KBS stuff is going up on YouTube.
I don't know if it's the reason for their thinking about pulling back on fusion stuff--eventually they had to realize it had run its course--but whatever...if they've decided to do it, great news whatever the reason.

I guess you thought "I think I may like this guy"

Ha! Well he couldn't have been any worse than the previous guy, could he. Tripling the rights fees and then we just lost KBS in the middle of shows we were watching, I still get mad about it. But I guess we have to like this guy; sure can't argue with the results so far.
We'll keep an eye out on how this show develops and if it runs here on 24.7 Chicago, we'll do a board for it.

Great pictures, truth. I had no idea that anything Gongmin did actually survived. Sure learned something today. When Shin Don gets further along I'll have to do a thread for his artwork.

I would have preferred Yim Dong Jin.

Not familiar with the other guy but that's a darned shame about losing Yim. Really liked him in DJY and was looking forward to seeing him in this one.

This drama's starting in a month and they still haven't announced who's going to play Lee Bang Won(a.k.a Taejong). I heard they are going to announce the actor on the 4th(Korean time).
No idea who's going to play LBW yet, but here's my guess on the actor.
Kim Joo Hyuk(Kim Joon in God of War): Just b/c his father played Lee Sung Gye in Tears of Dragon and Yu Dong Geun, who played LBW in Tears of Dragon, will be playing Lee Sung Gye in this drama.
KJH also recently started starring for KBS's One Night and Two Days Season 3, so I have this feeling that KBS will try to promote him by giving him a crucial role in a drama.
Who do you want as LBW?

I still find it weird that an actor who played Yi Bangwon is playing Yi Seonggye.
No trailers and promotion photos yet?
