25) Han Myung-Hoe (KBS, 1994)- producer : Kim Jae-Hyung - writer : Shin Bong-Seung - Mid 15th century. - Biographical drama of Han Myung-Hoe (1415-1487), powerful minister in early Chosun period. - Shin Bong-Seung repeats his own interpretation of Han Myung-Hoe, already presented ten years ago in "Seol Jung Mae" (The Ume Tree in the midst of snow, MBC, 1984). This drama was not very interesting for an old fan of "Seol Jung Mae" because I could find nothing new in it. Even Yi Duk-Hwa (Archfiend in AOW) was eclipsed by the legendary Han Myung-Hoe of Chung Jin in "Seol Jung Mae". The unique jewel of the drama was king Danjong. His acting was excellent despite of the actor's young age. (And Very CUTE ! ;D ) Casting- Han Myung-Hoe : Lee Duk-Hwa (Archfiend in "AOW") - Wife of Han Myung-Hoe : Lee Duk-Hee (CCH's wife in "AOW") - Prince Su-yang (King Sejo) : Suh In-Suk (Yi Ui-Bang in "AOW") - Queen In-su : Kim Young-Ran (Chung Nan-Jung in "Pung Ran") - King Danjong : Chung Tae-Woo (King Danjong in "King and Queen") - Prince Yeon-san : Lee Min-Wu (Chung Kyun in "AOW")  Chung Tae-Woo (King Danjong in 1994) He was SOooooooooooo cute !  - Chung Tae-Woo is well-known as a king specialist actor, especially the dethroned kings. lol He played three times King Danjong in TV dramas. He was also Emperor Hui-jong in AOW, King Injong in "Women in the Palace" (not dethroned, but historically suspected to be poisoned by his stepmother) and the Crown Prince of Prince Gwanghae in "King's Woman" (son of the dethroned king). Recently he declares that he doesn't want to play in a historical drama any more because he prefers modern ones. (Oh, but he hasn't played Prince Yeon-san and Prince Gwang-hae yet...) - King Danjong (1441-1457, reigned between 1452-1455), 6th king of Chosun, was grandson of Great King Sejong and nephew of King Sejo. He was first dethroned king in Chosun dynasty. He had been called as "Prince Nosan" and rehabilitated only under the reign of King Sook-jong (1674-1720). N.B. This is the last korean historical drama that I viewed in Korea.

 That's the guy right, Florel? He doesn't want to do anymore historical drama series? That sad, he played the only King in AOW to at least show some bravery. |

Yes, it's him. You are really a great fan of AOW, Skinz. ;D He was a brave son of the useless Shin-jong and more dignified than the crazy Ui-jong even when he was expelled. He doesn't want to do anymore historical drama series? That sad, he played the only King in AOW to at least show some bravery. I heard that he didn't even want to play in "AOW" but the producers succeeded in persuading him. Perhaps he is tired of being dethroned. ;D Anyway, Emperor Hui-jong was very different than King Danjong (in 1994) who was young, weak and tragic figure. I think Chung Tae-Woo is good actor and he can be more improved. I wish he will come back again some day later with a different historical character and with beard on his face. ;D I added on the above post that Choe Chung-Huhn's wife was Archfiend's wife... lol that is to say, the actress who was the wife of Han Myung-Hoe (Yi Duk-Hwa) played the role of CCH's wife in "AOW". Her role was so small in AOW that I forgot of her. |

From 1995, I missed almost of important Korean historical dramas except AOW and IYSS that I viewed on VOD. So I collected informations and photos on web, but it's difficult to find detailed infos for some dramas. Sometimes, I don't even sure of their accurate chronological order of airing times. If anyone has more infos and finds mistake or omission, please feel free to give your own comments. Oooh -- we're getting to the point where i first saw Korean Dramas...anyoen have any idea when the first English subtitled Korean drama appeared in America? It's good and interesting question, JP. Up to now, no one precedes you in the domaine of subtitled Korean historical dramas ! |

Hi florel...thanks for sharing all the info on the korean historical dramas. I would like to enquire if you have heard of another period drama entitled "The Land"? I'm sorry but this seems to be the only info I have - I'm not sure who are the actors or actresses or the production company. I've been trying to get more info on this drama from the web but not much success so far. Perhaps you could help? Thanks in advance.  |

Hi, kwoonie ! "Toji (Land)" is famous novel of Ms. Park Kyung-Ri (21 volumes !) and has been dramatized three (or four ?) times. The recent production of SBS is the only one which was made after the completion of the novel. I didn't read the novel and never viewed the drama(s), so I don't know details of storyline and characters. These are what I found on web. Land (Toji, KBS, 1979-1980)- producer : Kim Hong-Jong - screenwriter : Park Byung-Wu - original novel : Park Kyung-Ri, "Toji" - casting : Hwang Jeong-Ah, Baek Yun-Shik, Chung Ae-Ri, Chung Dong-Hwan, Min Uk, Chung Young-Sook N.B. for IYSS fans : Chung Ae-Ri was YSS's mom and Chung Dong-Hwan was the evil minister Yun Du-Su in IYSS. Land (Toji, KBS, 1987-1989)- producer : Ju Il-Cheong - screenwriter : Kim Ha-Rim - original novel : Park Kyung-Ri, "Toji" - casting : Yun Seung-Won, Choi Su-Ji, Shin Gu Land (Toji, SBS, 2004-2005)- Chief producer : Mun Jeong-Su - producer : Lee Jong-Han - screenwriters : Lee Jong-Gu, Kim Myung-Ho, Lee Hye-Seon - original novel : Park Kyung-Ri, "Toji" - 1897-1945 - casting : Kim Hyun-Ju, Yu Jun-Sang, Kim Mi-Sook, Park Sang-Won, Kim Hye-Seon - Official homepage : tv.sbs.co.kr/toji/And this is an article (in English) on Korean historical and period dramas aired in 2004-2005. You can read a little bit info about "Land". History Proves Rich Source for Dramas |

23) Dawn (Muhndong, KBS, 1993-1994) - producers : Lee Nok-Young, Kim Jong-Seon - writer : Kim Hang-Myung - original novel : Hong Sung-Won, "Muhn Dong" - circa 1894-1919 (from Donghak Peasant War to Samil Independence Movement) (I hope we're talking about the same drama here. ) Florel, I remember watching this when I was in Korea. This drama actually covers a wider time period. From the donghak war to 1945. The main characters end up all over east asia from korea to japan, saipan and china. And this drama was the first to address the "comfort women" issue I believe, because I remember one scene where the Japanese soldiers were rounding up all the young girls to take them to the war front. |

BTW, Koonie, how did you came to know "The Land (Toji)" ? Wow...  Will it be aired in Malaysia ? 23) Dawn (Muhndong, KBS, 1993-1994) - producers : Lee Nok-Young, Kim Jong-Seon - writer : Kim Hang-Myung - original novel : Hong Sung-Won, "Muhn Dong" - circa 1894-1919 (from Donghak Peasant War to Samil Independence Movement) (I hope we're talking about the same drama here. ) Florel, I remember watching this when I was in Korea.

Thank you, Moreshige2, for the precision. I never viewed that drama so I know nothing of it. I just found elementary infos (title, airing time, producer, writer...) in a data base on web. But it can be wrong and I trust you more. ;D C'est genial ! It's really good ! Everyone give his or her own contributions here ! BTW, I guess you are the same person with our dear Moreshige we know and you get a new ID. Where is Moreshige the original ? ;D |

But it can be wrong and I trust you more. ;D Suddenly an old memory hits my head. Now I guess you are referring to "Pupil of the Dawn (or Eye of the Dawn) aka Yeo Myung ui Nundongja", aired by MBC circa 1991-1992.  It was the first drama which treated "comfort woman" problem and in which Choi Jae-Sung (our little piggy Won Kyun in "IYSS"), Chae Shi-Ra (Madame Jami in "Emperor of the Sea) and Park Sang-Won were featured. I viewed this period drama. And if I'm not wrong, Chung Dong-Hwan (Minister Yun Du-Su in "IYSS") played an evil role of Chin Il Pa. "Dawn" (KBS, 1994) I mentioned is different stuff. According to my data base, main actors were Kim Jin-Tae (Magistrate Uh in "IYSS"), Ha Hui-Ra (Choi Su-Jong's wife), Lee Dong-Jun, Chung Sung-Mo etc. I didn't view it, so I don't know its detail. Anyway, thanks for your comments, Moreshige.  There is also another historical drama entitled "Dazzling Dawn (Chanranhan Yeomyung)". Too many dawns ! Very confusing. LOL |

Florel!, Yes you are right! That's the drama I was talking about. I'm glad you caught my mistake. Yeah, both Choi Jae-sung and Chae Shi-ra, it seems, played 'good' guys back then. And yes, this is Moreshige. I retired my old email awhile ago so I had to re-register. I'm back to being a 'new addict'. haha |

All you had to do was change your email in your old profile. You would get an email confirming your new email.
I did this when I changed me email on this BB.
