The one I remember most from DJY is when he fought that giant guy twice his size and poked him in the eyes. Ugh.
That point about psychology, that actually raises a good issue because if it's the LBKT writer, it may well be a more psychological kind of drama. The three dramas I've seen CSJ in have all been the more traditional storytelling kind. It would be interesting to see how he does in something more like LBKT.

You frequently mentioned that the LBW show didnβt seem that concerned with the going ons of the country itself. Since this is about a foreign invasion, you think this wonβt be the case as much?

More unconfirmed rumors: bbs.ruliweb.com/community/board/300148/read/36579046theqoo.net/dyb/2725359100These forum posts say that actor Kim Eung Su stated on a radio program that he's going to be on "an authentic historical drama from KBS", but didn't reveal what role. We've definitely seen Kim Eung Su in lots of sageuk before, most notably his role as Hideyoshi in Imjin 1592 and Min Mugu in King Sejong, in addition to a ton of fusion sageuk like Joseon Gunman, Flower in Prison, Conspiracy in the Court and even Slave Hunters.

Hey Steve! Good to hear from you. Had to laugh at that because Lee actually played Gamchan in Iron Empress. Sounds like that role has already been taken. Yeah it would be fun to see him again, he always injects such personality into his roles. You frequently mentioned that the LBW show didnβt seem that concerned with the going ons of the country itself. Since this is about a foreign invasion, you think this wonβt be the case as much? We'll certainly be getting a lot more outdoor action on battlefields, especially if they're shifting the main character from Hyeonjong to Gamchan. So there should be a better balance between palace stuff and non-palace stuff. But the thing I always crab about, how we don't get more of the ordinary citizen feel for things, if we have the same writer here as in LBKT then maybe not. We'll see. It's a good question.

It will be interesting to see how many of the familiar faces they bring back for this one. Especially since there were fewer than expected in LBKT.

So now CSJ is in it i wonder who will his arch enemy be ? . they always seem to pair him up with with another major character. Choi tries to be his friend and kills him in a duel 40 years later . it just seems to be a familiar scenario which it would be great if they avoided it this time . one of the great things about LBW and JDJ that they avoided things like this .

It most likely won't be the case with this drama since the writer of this drama is same as LBW and the director is the one who directed Imjin War 1592. But now that you mention an arch enemy, I like to see the actor who played Lee Kaigu in DJY on this drama. Maybe he can play the Khitan general that invades Goryeo.

Choi Jaesung playing Gang Jo again would be pretty funny. Probably wonβt happen though

Choi Jaesung playing Gang Jo again would be pretty funny. Probably wonβt happen though Come to think of it, I think Jeong Boseok(Lee Kaigu in DJY) playing Kang Jo would be nice, too. More unconfirmed rumors: These forum posts say that actor Kim Eung Su stated on a radio program that he's going to be on "an authentic historical drama from KBS", but didn't reveal what role. Kim Eungsu will be playing the Khitan general Xiao Paiya according to Korean Wikipedia, but I'm not sure how trustworthy this is since anyone can edit Wikipedia. There isn't any official article about who he's going to be playing in this drama.

I would love to see another appearance by Jeong Boseok but not as an arch-enemy type. He was DJY's arch enemy and at least for me it didn't work well at all. That dreaded lip-curl, ugh...He was so incredibly good in the Shin Don series playing the tortured-soul kind of character in King Gongmin, that's his strength.
But then again, if this is going to be a more nuanced psychological series, that's what he brought to the Gongmin role that made him so good in it. So maybe I'm wrong....

He was superb in Shindon and also in God Of War .In DJY all the main bad guys were like comic book characters. I am sure that was deliberate but it just did not work.

I forgot about GOW, yeah he did a good job in that one too. I think the difference between that one and DJY was that in DJY he had to play more of a combat-fighter type and he's not really the type for that sort of role. If he plays more of a commanding-general character like truth is suggesting, maybe that could work after all.

Kim Dongjun(from Kpop boy idol group ZEA) has been cast as Emperor Hyeonjong en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyeonjong_of_GoryeoThis is his first traditional historical. His only historical appearance was as a minor supporting character in 2013 fusion historical T he Fugitive of Joseon He is known as the "male version of Han Gain," due to his facial resemblance to the actress Han Gain. Judging by the cast, I think the rumor about Kang Gamchan being the main character instead of Hyeonjong is probably true. Acting in historicals may not appeal to everybody, but they went out and found a new guy to play Lee Bangwon and wow what a terrific job he did. Looks like they did find a new guy for Hyeonjong. I don't expect much from someone from a Kpop group, but here's hoping he does a good job.

hmmmm....
Well they had to get somebody young, he took the throne as a teenager so they didn't have much choice. I hope this kid delivers and it's not just gimmick casting for ratings.
