What a disgrace to Lee Soon Shin's name.
They should change the name of the drama to You're the Best, Won Kyun or You're the Best, Sunjo.

Why? Because they named a girl after a man? Srsly, dudes, I'm kinda disappointed if that's what you're saying. It's allowed here.

Let's be reasonable. We're talking about a fictional character on a tv show. It's not a modern day portrayal of Yi Soon Shin. Parents often name their children after national heroes, celebrities, athletes, relatives or people they simply hold in high regard. The explanation for the name on the show actually makes sense.

No actually it would not matter if the lead were male or female ,its more about using the name of a revered hero for a lame romantic comedy to get people to watch it .

sorry Bo, i don't mean being too conservative abt man's name can't be used for woman but it irks and disappoints me when a fiction named a character after a historical person and make fun of them.And I also agree with DYC.

I'm sorry, you guys have to tell me when I'm being too crabby. I just get cranky at work and that's where I am usually when I post here. Sometimes I see things that aren't there. I mean, not like M. Night Shyamalan or anything, just in what people say. I am sorry.
As for the naming thing, I guess we are going to diverge in our opinions. I think it's just a hook to get you to watch, and I think everyone who watches knows they're not making fun of the real YSS. But you guys are entitled to think otherwise.

Just like DYC said, I still would've said this drama was a disgrace even if it was a man playing YSS. You do not touch YSS, whether you're man or woman.
Like I said above, change the title of the drama to You're the Best, Won Kyun or You're the Best, Sunjo.

Remember Ondal The Fool did not have a problem with that .
But this is a hero ,died for his country ,beat the Japanese Navy with 11 ships ,anyway it just seems like a cheap shot to use his name in that way .
Allegedly people were upset with the opening episode where she goes for a job interview and people make fun of her name and suggest she get a job at Dokdo keeping the Japanese away . Its just very poor taste ,and like the Japanese Navy i hope it sinks .
