Saguek? Am in. I just hope it is interesting

Wow this week already. I hope it does well. SJK fighting!

Wow. This looks interesting. SJK <3

I hope this show doesn't affect The Princess' Man's finale ratings :(
After that, Deep Tree, you can do whatever you want.

YaY it's finally here but this era of history has been milked to death this year. Goryeo needs some loving too.

What super boring trailers for such a hyped drama.

song joong ki! why do you not age?
and theres just something so angular? stiff? too perfect? about Jang Hyuks mouth that intrigues me, and irks my mum but, he's still oh so Hot... umph

Jang Hyuk is giving me Gul-oh flashbacks *swoon*

Won't have time to check it out now, but I hope it's good. Looking forward to Song Joong-ki's acting. And trailers have mislead us before (see: City Hunter)

Lol. The stills of song joong-ki look straight out of sungkyunkwan scandal. So cute.

Jang Hyuk isn't looking as good as I wish he would... Maybe it's the tan? Oh, I miss Chuno already.

the seven minute teaser is what got me hyped:
SJK is killing me in the teaser already. So sad he's only playing the younger version of the king.

na gu yong ha da.. :) i miss yeorim!

haha you're right it DOES look small :D ! judging by the hype, i really expected some epicness in the teasers but...no :P

Trailer made me laugh

Not trying to be stupid...but my first impression of Jang Hyuk's snake-like figure on his traditional (insert correct word for the hat-thingy...I do not mean to offend anyone with not knowing the object's name!) reminds me of the Seattle Mariner's logo, which is my hometown's baseball team.

Where ever my hubby Jang Hyuk goes I follow.
Finally my drama is here move aside other dramas The King is here .

Hmm.. what does Kim Ki Bum play in this drama?

It looks like Jang Hyuk is a bad guy from the the trailers. Do you think that that is the case?

I'm so watching this. I've been watching Bu Bu Jing Xin so I am in a very 'historical drama' mode. Looks way intense and with such a great cast I feel like this one's gonna be really good! Very excited.

Also beautiful poster... that might be my next desktop :)

Joong ki! Yes no facial for him juat like in SKKS days. Make a lot of flashback scenes please show...

Wow, what a gorgeous poster! Look at Shin Se Kyung's face, so lovely! Does anyone know just how many episodes SJK will be in? Darn it, why can't he just be in the whole show? I'm not even a crazy fan of his, but when it comes to sageuks I know one thing -- hot guys make the historical political games a lot easier to understand, somehow : D

Oohh oohh ohh Jang Hyuk is a royal guard in this drama right? If my limited knowledge of korean traditional garbs serves me right, that uniform is for royal guards right? MEANING: He's going to be strutting his sexy body again cos you know, he has to be fit and all hihihihi..

Agree on the small scale, though it may be a plus for what they're going for. Something like a polished bunch of intimate events in the courts and periphery. Like some 90s BBC historical drama...before all the sex, hotness, hip factor, and eye candy became the norm:P

song joongkiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.

No matter what people gonna say, I will definitely watch this drama. I mean, two writers of Queen Seon Duk, plus the mighty sageuk Jang Hyuk, for sure it is a must see for me!

sigh, I bet I'll start watching this just to see the first few eps with Song Joong Ki and then get suckered in to watching the whole thing as was the case with Will it Snow for Christmas as SKKS.....but the drama does look mighty interesting with a very different premise and also a very hefty cast other than Shin Se Kyung....and I've never seen Joong Ki do something this serious before and am totally loving it

My interest in Saguek dramas just vanished after Song Il Gook's Jumong ended. I think Jumong was the "legendary" Saguek and the only Saguek that totally truly grab my attention no matter how long that drama was. I did like Queen Seon Duk but it was kind of boring towards the end and the ending sucks.
Saguek dramas tend to have that same plot: court conspiracy, people trying to prevent the person next to the throne become a king, arrange marriage for the sake of power, villains trying to prevent the good guy/main lead from accomplishing something great and there's always that born on a certain day destined to do something great.
and this drama is probably the same one way or another. don't get me wrong guys, I love Jang Hyuk, the man can act and he's full of hotness of course, but man, may I see him NOT in traditional korean clothing.

All these sagueks ( dong yi, the great king sejong, jumong, queen suendok, emperor of the sea, king gwangwetto, etc etc).....all SERIOUSLY need to have a warning label/qualifier in huge print at the start of every episode with words to the effect that most are totally "99.9% FICTIONalised" !!!

And.....these dramas have unabashedly draw out the most blatant nationalistic fervour that seem to lurk in every korean soul, with their scriptwriters/directors indulging almost drunkenly in all sorts of petty and unjustified (?) bashing of those non-koreans, esp the japanese and the chinese. Worse, some events of real historical significance were grossly distorted and even deliberately twisted !

Granted that korea has been under the yolk of other nations in the past and bitterness and anger still simmer ( but which nations in the East have not suffered 'colonization'?).......so these dramas are anything but 'historical', haha

Creative license is fine but if liberty are taken to such a ridiculous level, then one shudder to think what sort of ' historical education' these dramas would impart to those unawary viewers, esp to their own korean viewers.

song joong ki sold the drama for me. ooppps, how many eps will joong ki be?

Song Joong ki!!! Please let there be lots of eps with him if they know what's good for them! LOL
I know he'll do well! Can't wait to see it!

was she the female lead in the horrendous drama "daring women"?
