I'm shocked that know one voted for Ulji Mun-Dok. Some sites have his name spelled Eulji Mundeok. I think that he was in the Yeon Gaesumon show, i'm not positive but that was the era that he was in. He was in the goguryeo and sui wars. I was really well known for the battle of salsu river Found this portrait of Ulji Mundeok (or however you Romanize it - don’t ask me! ;D) on the web yesterday: Yes, I remember his character on the SBS drama “Yeon Gae-So-Mun” where he was presented as a brilliantly innovative strategist. It’s possible that time has exaggerated the stories of his military genius (I recall one scene in the SBS drama where he builds a giant dam - perhaps this is the event at the Salsu river you mention - and breaks it apart as the fleeing Su Chinese are trying to cross) but there’s no doubt that he ranks among Korea’s greatest generals. And when did he live? The pix is great.

Ulji Mundeok lived from 560(?) to 618, so in terms of the “Dae Joyoung” K-drama timeframe, I think he died just a few years before the current KBS drama begins.
However, people like Yang Manchun and Dae Jungsang were both likely junior officers when Mundeok was commanding forces during the Su wars.
