Your guess is as good as ours. There's a thread on here about KBS's possible future plans, look around.

KBS is airing GENGHIS KHAN (30 eps) now in Korea. After that, KBS will air 1945 SEOUL which, as you can guess from the title, is not a "historical" drama. After 1945 SEOUL, maybe in the fall of 2006, KBS will air DAE JOH-YURNG set in 7th century Korea.

Dae Jo-yeong is the founder of Balhae kingdom(698~925 A.D.). Here is a brief explanation : www.opm.go.kr/warp/webapp/content/view?meta_id=english&id=38 The Unified Silla and Balhae Kingdoms (8th century) Subsequent to the fall of Goguryeo kingdom(37 B.C. ~ 668 A.D.), Dae Jo-yeong, a former Goguryeo general, formed an army of Goguryeo and Malgal (a Tungusic tribe) people, and led a migration to Chinese-controlled territory. They settled eventually near Jilin in Manchuria, and there founded a state which was at first called Chin, but in 713 was renamed Balhae (Bohai in Chinese). Balhae soon gained control of most of the former Goguryeo territory. The ruling class of Balhae consisted mostly of Goguryeo (i.e. Korean) people. Balhae declared itself the successor to Goguryeo, and sometimes called itself Goryeoguk (state of Goryeo). Balhae prosperity reached its height in the first half of the ninth century during the reign of King Seon. At that time, Balhae territory extended from the Sungari and Amur rivers in northern Manchuria all the way down to the northern provinces of modern Korea. Its capital was Donggyeong, in the Jilin area, where the state had originally been founded. Balhae was to become a victim of the political confusion and violence which accompanied the fall of the Tang Dynasty. In 926 the Khitan, who later came to dominate much of Manchuria and northern China, conquered Balhae. Many of the ruling class, who were mostly Koreans, moved south and joined the newly founded Goryeo Dynasty, which replaced Silla at that time. While the Manchurian portion of the Balhae territory was lost, the area south of the Amnok (Yalu)-Duman (Tumen) boundary was restored and the people migrated to Korea. ....................... I read a newspaper article that a Korean martial art movie about the last prince of Balhae kingdom will be released in the U.S. sooner or later. Check this "Shadowless sword" thread on this board.

Oh, Choko, maybe we'll get that one! I hope so. I'll mention it in my evolving letter.
