The East and the West (Photographic guide)

[florel]

I guess some of you want to have the clear classfication of characters. I would like to start with ministers. (I will try to update character lists when I have a leisure time.) All the ministers and high military officials in the show are historical personages.



The West ministers


Yun Du-Su (also spelled as Yoon Du-Su)



Yun Geun-Su (younger brother of Yun Du-Su)



Jung Chul
(A famous poet. But he was the most terrible Westerner who persecuted more than thousand Easterners, their families and friends.)



Hwang Yun-Gil (no photo) : president of Chosun delegates to Japan


Yi Hang-Bok
(not yet appear. He was the son-in-law of Marshal Kwon Yul.)




The East ministers


Yi San-Hae (futur leader of the North)



Yu Sung-Ryong (futur leader of the South)



Jung Un-Shin (no photo, old corpulent man)
(He was a relative of Jung Yeo-Rip and purged by his treason affair.)




Yi Duk-Hyung, son-in-law of Yi San-Hae
(He was a diplomat during Imjin war. Historically, he retained a moderate position between political parties and he was a near friend of the Westerner Yi Hang-Bok.)



Jung Tak



Kim Sung-Il
(He was the Yu Sung-Ryong's academic school comrade and the vice-president of Chosun delegates to Japan.)


Huh Sung (no photo) : secretary of Chosun delegates to Japan




Cf. In the drama, Han Ho (famous calligrapher with pen name Suk-Bong) is presented as the East partisan. But I have never heard if he would have taken a political position.

I have already wrote the origin and features of the East and the West in the following thread :
