I hope they do not depict the Samurai looking like coolies or wearing armor that is a cross section of some 800 years .
Funny because next year NHK were going to do Shimazu Yoshihisa as the subject of their Taiga Drama but were forced to cancel it because South Korea protested the subject matter so they are going with Kuroda Kanbei who despite being sent to Joseon did not support the war and clashed with Hideyoshi's snitch Ishida Mitsunari .
The revised drama will be partially filmed in China and Mongolia just like 2001's Hojo Tokimune (Mongol Invasions of Japan ) as NHK cannot get permission to film in Korea .

The Gu Family Book is ending on Chicago 24.5 this week and I'm guessing this series will inherit its timeslot. If that's the case, we'll move this to the 24.5 board and I'll post the viewing times.
