Yoo Oh-sung as a chieftan in Kim Suro

Yoo Oh-sung (Swallow the Sun) plays one of the nine chiefs of Kaya (before Kaya was Kaya) in the upcoming sageuk series Kim Suro, as we can see in these stills from the drama. His Chief Sin-gwi character is the most powerful of the chiefs, who ruled the area before Suro (to be played by actor Ji Sung, who will become his rival) rose to power and united the land into the Kaya state.

There have been numerous sageuk dramas that explore the time of Goguryeo (Koguryo), Silla (of which Seon-deok was queen), or the later Goryeo (Koryo) and Joseon (Chosun) eras (which span from the 10th century through 19th), but there haven’t been many about the Kaya state. Suro’s history is steeped in legend and his reign is officially listed as spanning the years 42-199 A.D.

Kim Suro will take over MBC’s weekend slot from A Man Called God at the end of May.

42-199 A.D.? LOL.
Even with just this little bit of information I'm already intrigued. The farther back in history it is the better, as far as I'm concerned. This looks like it will be exciting! I love the last picture.

He looks so hot in sageuk. I hope he won't outshine Ji Sung. BTW, who's supposed to be the male lead here?

Oh I'm so excited. I love the history and legends of that era. King Suro of Kŭmgwan Kaya (Kim Yushin's clan) finally <3.
