Korean History You Want to See Dramatized

[sageuk]

Choi Jae Sung as Bae Jungson. He's got that military charisma


No Young Hui


Kim Tongjong
Still have no idea what to do with this character. DYC, do you know anything about this guy? What do you think? There was a wiki page, however (its now deleted) that says while Koryo-sa villifies him, the people of Jeju see him as a hero. I can only imagine a young actor playing him. Not sure who though



Wonjong




that guy who played Dae Jung Sang-Kim Banggyong

Song Il Gook as Hong Tagu
Considering that he's a vengeful individual, someone with an angry face seemed appropriate. Song Il Gook's performance as the anti-hero Yeom Jang still lingers in my mind. I'm not sure why, but when thinking of Hong Tagu, Song's face pops up


This is also off topic, but DYC, does Yu SOngryong's Jinbirok explain what Yi Soon SHin was like in his childhood? I have reimaginings of some historicals in mind (please don't kill me)

[MTR]

That one i am clueless about .

[sageuk]

^Which one? Kim TOngjong? Or Yi?

[MTR]

When Goguryeo fell ,the Dae Family wasted no time pledging their troth to Tang and were sent north where they waited until Tang became embroiled in other wars ,than they rebelled and founded Balhae ,They pretty much had no contact with Khitan.

I'd like to see the Donghak Peasent Rebellion. Then again, they may not because they already made dramas about that in the past. It would probably look better if it were in movie form though.

I also want to see something like a tragedy, regarding the fall of the Gaya confederacy and the people's hopeless attempts to try portoect from Silla. WIth good direction at actors, it will make the dramatic irony all the more gratifying

I think I figured out what to do with Kim Tongjong. I decided to have him have a father son relationship with Bae Jungson, and after the Sambyeolcho's defeat in Jindo, he carries out his father figure's will to preserve the age of warriors. I've heard that the people of Jeju regard him as a hero, so should I make him as ruthless as Jungson or just be someone who is nicer than him?

DYC, what actors would you choose for the historical figures in Sambyeolcho?

[moreshige2]

Even before the Sambyeochol rebellion began, the downfall of Koryo by the Mongols can be traced all the way back about 80 to 100 years before with the military coup by the Choes and subsequent military dictatorship. It was tragic because it was the neo-confucian officials who agitated the rebellion in the first place. But sadly, after the rebellion the resulting dictatorship caused greater disillusionment with its constant power struggles and assassinations.

So have any of us seen the MBC Drama Sindon ?

[sageuk]

I saw only a few episodes, but I never really got into it. I can't quite figure out why. I plan to give it another chance, if I can get into it at all later

So, whaddya think of my Sambyeolcho cast?

[sageuk]

Tree of Deep Roots, wasn't that the name of a drama series in the 80s? Part of MBC's 500 Years of Joseon Dynasty series?

[MTR]

Think it was ,i either saw it listed on Dramawiki or one of those Youtube clips .

[MTR]

I wish KBS would remake Tears Of The Dragon ,we will never get to see the original so its been 16 years time for a remake .

[truth]

Lee Suh Jin from Yi San and Damo has been casted for the role of Gye Baek in the 32 episode historical MBC Gye Baek. The drama will start this July.

Gye Baek(July 2011) - The last hero of Baekjae dynasty who fought until death in the battle against Shilla and Tang alliance in the Battle of Hwangsanbul. Expecting his defeat at Hwangsanbul, he killed his own wife and children to prevent them from being raped and enslaved by the enemies before he went into the battle. It is said that he was the man that Kim Yushin had feared the most. The writers of Damo will be writing the script for this one.

[sageuk]

Gyebaek is going to be heavily fictionalized, considering little to nothing is known about him other than the Battle of Hwangsanbul.

[griffin]

Just from that act of killing wife and kids, geez, they're gonna have a field day with the char. x.x I don't envy the writers.
