More additional cast : JapanLee Musaeng(Kim Seunggyu in JTBC Queen Insoo) has been cast as Konishi Yukinaga en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Konishi_YukinagaMingAhn Bohyeon has been cast as Chen Jiujing, the son of Chen Lin Finally we see the Shimazu featured prominently . They are usually relegated to supporting characters . The Shimazu were meant to be the subject of the 2008 Taiga drama but NHK could not get permission to film in South Korea . The subject really upset people so NHK backtracked and did Tenchijin instead which featured the Uesgui general Nao Kanetsugu who was not in favor of the Imjin war . Despite being sent over on the second invasion they did not participate .

Anyone think they’re going to do a “Ming and Joseon generals don’t get along initially but but come together in the end” story again?

Whoo boy this one is going to cause controversy
Is there even a point to changing their names? It’s very clear who this is representing even without in depth knowledge
Also, Dugwang? Really?

Is there even a point to changing their names? It’s very clear who this is representing even without in depth knowledge Also, Dugwang? Really? It's done to avoid any possible lawsuit. Changing names is done in historicals that take place even 500 years ago to prevent offending the descendants. For example, Six Flying Dragons changed Lee Yin-Im's name to Lee Yin-Gyeom because they didn't want to offend Lee Yin-Im's descendants.

Then why didn’t anything happen when KBS aired JDJ?
I know MBC got a lawsuit when The 5th Republic was airing but that’s just right wingers overreacting as usual.
