Saturday? Blecch, I hope that doesn't mean we're going to get pairs of episodes back-to-back. But it probably does, doesn't it. Okay, well thanks for posting the info. I do want to try to watch the thing so I'll set up a board for it. It won't have long episode summaries but I'll post what I can. It'll air on Saturday and Sunday. I'm not sure about the exact time slot though.

I'm sorry, where is KBS World? Is that on 24.7? I know I can't get that. Do you know where else it might be?
EDIT: I see on our front page, 24.7 is listed as KBS America. Is that the same thing? My other question still stands.

My other question still stands. Yes, KBS America and KBS World are the same thing. "World" is the international title for the channel. "America" is for the US. We get the San Francisco/Bay Area feed on 24.7 in Chicago. If you can't get 24.7, I think your only other option is DirecTV (Ch 2082).

Has this appeared online anywhere yet with English subs?

No subs as of yet. But if you want to watch it raw and try to figure out what they're saying, or just preview things, here. www.epdrama.com/jeong-do-jeon/jeong-do-jeon-episode-1/* * * * * * At 2:30, you'll notice some of the banners from IYSS. Wakizaka's symbol is there (the two white rings with the red background)-coincidentally, his actor plays the king.

What a piece of news I just dug up. Jeong Dojeon will indeed begin on KBS World next Saturday, January 18. At 6:40 a.m. Chicago time! That just absolutely, totally blows. Who the heck wants to get up and watch a historical at sunrise? UGH!! Episode 2 airs Sunday, also 6:40. Oh well, I'll set my VCR and watch it at a more reasonable hour, and if it proves worthy then I'll stick with it.
I do still plan to set up a board for it, and a few of the above posts I'm going to move into a spoiler thread (just because they refer to episodes not aired here yet). Just an advance warning--nobody's done anything wrong; only basic housekeeping.

sageuk, good eye on those banners! Bad mistake by them. Make some new banners already.

Touché, griffin...admittedly I'm NOT a morning person.
But the show certainly won't pick up any casual channel-hoppers at that time of day. Which won't help the series draw interest and build a viewership. What have things come to when they run "Pretty Boy" in prime time and relegate a series like this to weekend sunrise. UGH.

Need to watch this one carefully for scheduling. KBS tends to broadcast the same show during several different time slots (think "8 Days" so it's likely they'll have other airings at more reasonable times.
Hey, just think: here in Arizona, it airs at *5:40am.* Whoo-hoo!

I hope you're right, mikey. Right now there aren't any rebroadcasts showing on the schedule, but they've tweaked things before in the middle of a series so maybe they'll give us a break at some point. I suppose a lot of it has to do with how it does in the domestic ratings.
It would be REALLY nice if they'd put the episodes on YouTube, although for this type of series I doubt that will happen.

5:40AM? Do the people who run these schedules think that Americans are early birds? When in fact most of us say "the morning is EVIL"

Well, I'm gonna rise and shine tomorrow morning around 5:30am (Arizona time), switch on the TV, and see what's cooking. Peculiarly, though, the on-screen DirecTV schedule is showing some Korean variety show on at that time. It's been wrong before, though, so I guess we'll just have to get up tomorrow and find out, huh? But, I agree: this is a show I REALLY want to watch. And it would be way cool to have a bunch of us all watching and commenting. So, I sure hope this also gets aired at a more civilized time down the road.

Yeah, the printed schedules on KBS America's website don't list it either, not in any time slot. But the KBS World site is very specific about it.
