Wow, they won't do a traditional historical but they'll even rehash an old fictional story. Sigh....
But thanks for the info and for keeping us posted about these. Reminds me that I have to update the timeline with the 2019 dramas. Will do that tonight or tomorrow.

So nothing about the Korean War this year? Because this year is the 70th anniversary of when it started.

Aside from the lead character, other main characters such as Prince Heungseon and his son(King Gojong) are real people. Real Prince Heungseon did not have a fortuneteller guiding him to political power of course. Looks like the fictional lead character will act as Prince Heungseon's own Jeong Dojeon.

Jung Hae In and Chae Soo Bin will play the leads in upcoming tvN drama Half of a Half. It's about an AI programmer and a recording engineer. It's slated to start airing on Monday March 23. I've watched the last 2 dramas Jung Hae In starred in, Something in the Rain & One Spring Night, so I'll give this one a shot.

Why don't they just call it A Quarter?
Okay, seriously--is tvN available here in the US? Don't know anything about them but they've done some historicals recently. Maybe that's an option for us to consider.

Yoo Seung Ho and Lee Se Young will play the leads in the tvN drama Memorist. It's about a detective that can read minds. It'll air in March after Money Game. Okay, seriously-- is tvN available here in the US? Don't know anything about them but they've done some historicals recently. Maybe that's an option for us to consider. It's available on DirecTV and some of their series are on Netflix.

Knov, I don't know if you are interested but I recently watched a drama called "Hotel DeLuna", it was written by the Hong sisters and I really enjoyed it. Might be worth to check it out.

MBC Kim Yushin(Late 2019) Director : Han Hee(MBC Empress Ki) Time period : Three Kingdoms Era The main character of this drama is the Shilla general Kim Yushin. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gim_Yu-sinNo news on casting yet. There is no update to this drama at all, so I'm assuming the plan for the drama has been canceled, which is good because MBC would've made a fantasy drama anyway. I'm bored with 0 traditional historical these days. The only drama I'm waiting for right now is Kingdom Season 2. Kingdom Season 1, although not a traditional historical, is the only historical setting drama I enjoyed last year. Okay, seriously--is tvN available here in the US? Don't know anything about them but they've done some historicals recently. Maybe that's an option for us to consider. tvN does not do any traditional historicals, but if you have to watch any of their historical I'd recommend Mr. Sunshine. It's the only historical setting series I've watched from tvN.

Thanks for the update, truth--and yeah I had the same reaction, maybe it's better that they don't even bother making it. I remember watching the first episodes of Empress Ki and it was beyond ridiculous.

I'll check it out when I get the chance. I'll be around more. There's Kingdom S2 and 2 other K-Dramas I want to check out in March. I recently watched 3 K-Dramas. Something in the Rain, One Spring Night and Touch Your Heart. I should have made threads for them but I'm lazy. Something in the Rain starring Jung Hae In and Son Ye Jin. Older woman, younger guy. Good progression with main couple early on. Once couple runs into problems so does the series. Mixed bag. One Spring Night starring Jung Hae In and Han Ji Min. Same production team and lead actor as Something in the Rain. Deals with being a single parent, domestic violence and personal dreams vs family expectations. It's slower paced but one of the better series I've watched in a while. Touch Your Heart starring Lee Dong Wook and Yoo In Na. It's about an actress that goes to work at a law firm in preparation for a drama role. A cute & fluff series. It's biggest strength is the main couple, especially In Na. It's biggest weakness is the legal stuff.

TVK is only subbed on Netflix, on Direct TV there are no subs .
Hope they do a Kingdom season 3, its really the only historical worth watching .

Song Seung Heon and Seo Ji Hye will play the leads in the upcoming MBC romance drama Would You Like To Eat Together?. It's about 2 strangers that have dinner together at a restaurant and from there start having meals together on a regular basis. Series is based on a comic. It'll air in May.

YES!! Good heavens yes I would like to eat together! Seo Ji Hye, that's Queen Noguk from Shin Don. Who do I have to murder? Give me the names and I'll buy the gun. Fell hard for her in SD, what a performance.
Thanks for the heads-up . This will start right around when we're done with Kingdom--so assuming it airs on a regular schedule here on 24.5 then let's do a board for it. I'll check with the MBC Chicago office when it gets closer.
