thanks for the report ^^
It does look like Jumong's poster hehehe
to me, I'm really anticipating Princess Ja-myung and I think it will be very interesting to watch.

"(Looks a lot like Song Il-kook’s Jumong poster, doesn’t it?)"

Speaking of Jumong, totally expecting the Queen Seon-deok series to become the female Jumong / Korean Queen Elizabeth. The highlight 2009 drama so far.

KBS's weekend sageuks haven't been great the past few years. Hopefully Empress Cheon-chu will be a pickup.

The poster is simply fantastic.
Empress Cheon-chu.
Her gaze.
Her eyes are so determined and proud...
I do not know Chae Shi-ra, but certainly I wait anxiously this new sageuk, because I love history and I find, intellectually, adaptations historians very challenging.

Chae Si Ra is a genuine icon (and rather proudly famous for not looking her age.) In the 90s, Choi Jin Shil was Meg Ryan to Chae Si Ra's Meryl Streep. In fact, I kinda wished she would be doing Queen Seon-deok instead, just from the international promotion that will come with it.

Empress Cheon-chu casts Si Ra opposite her Eyes of Dawn male lead, Choi Jae Sung (also Lee Jung Ki's gangster boss in Time of Dog and Wolf.) And of course Seon-deok's Ko Hyun Jung is best known for Sandglass. Hmm, wouldn't it be just dandy if MBC called up Lee Jung Jae . . .

Thanks so much for the information, belleza.
If Chae Si Ra was compared to Meryl Streep, then she is really good actress.
I have greatly appreciated Choi Jae Sung in "Time Of Dog And Wolf" and now, I am even more happy to review his action in this new sageuk.

i admire chae sira not only cause she is a great actress.. but of course because of her personality and being a good role model. this looks excting the poster does even with jumong similarity. this is impressive to look at and yes that intense gaze as well. nice job. i hope this will do good.

and yeah wont it be just dandy if mbc picks LJJ.

You know the promo shots from all of these historical dramas are beginning to look alike

Looking forward to seeing this one. Chae Si-Ra is a very talented actress.

Not that it matters much, but I heard that it was shot at the same location as "King and the Clown"?

i'm not into epic dramas but wld like to see this only because of my Tomato guy Kim Seok Hyun! He's a darling! love him in Tomato drama series with Kim Hee Sun! I hope he & Kim makes a sequel to Tomato!

Nothing ever pleases you people (fans) you are always critical of everything. Can you do better? So the poster has a "Jumong -esqe" look, is that anything to be soo critical? The problem is when something is done well Koreans duplicates it to death, no originality, just to copy, copy, copy. Then you fans complain! Write and complain to the art department ask them to be more original and have a thought of their own.

I love this drama warts and all. Chae Si Ra is fabulous as always, give some credit to the actors. Blame the art department for coping...

She is a good actress , in this drama she makes me hate her character that much to the point i stopped watching this drama .
