WHY CAN’T we have Chinese ppl? No problem. SECOND, using Chinese ppl in K-drama is OKAY. So Koreans wondered why on earth especially at this sensitive time was this drama made like this, and found out that the writer made a contract with China. And as expected, after airing episode 1, Chinese uploaded so many hateful postings about this drama saying it’s their culture and why Koreans copy theirs. So Korean and China already had conflicts. After this BOOM, Chinese started putting Korean Hanbok and Got into their nonfiction historical dramas and says “they are ours. FIRST, Korean didn’t want to hear Chinese say “why do you copy ours?” BECAUSE it is Koreans who have been fighting so long over this issue – Chinese copying other countries – due to KINGDOM effect, many foreigners became loving Korean Got and Hanbok. Korean actors wear no Got, wear weird Hanbok, eat Chinese food etc. This shows how just a fiction drama could introduce world it’s own culture CORRECTLY.ĭifferently from KINGDOM, this drama written by a person who made a contract with CHINA features more of Chinese culture. Many people around the world, who didn’t know about Korea well, watched this drama “KINGDOM” and got to know about K-culture and they fell in love with it. It is a fiction drama too but many people loved and praised about it because Korean culture and tradition were introduced as pure as they are – Korean traditional clothes including Got and Hanbok, Korean traditional food, furnitures, music etc. There is a similar K-dreama called “KINGDOM”. I see a lot of people say, “well, this is just a fiction, why are Koreans so serious?” But this is not about zombies or Chinese food or historical inaccuracy. I feel sorry for them.ĭramas and movies have been always controversial as people have different views and opinions. I appreciate all the hard work directors, staffs and actors put on this drama. Unfortunately, this drama is cancelled after airing 2 episodes.
I already imagined this drama would be amazing It’s really sad, I hope to watch this drama until the end. It’s a fictional story…it’s a drama…they just inspired the characters from King Taejong’s era. Was that really how it was during the Joseon Dynasty tho or was the monarch simply exempt from the crime of murder?Ĭancelling this show felt like a betrayal. Was the rationale he didn’t know what he was doing? Today that would be the insanity plea or reduced capacity plea. Isn’t that David Lee McInnis playing the priest at the start when Prince Lee Bang-Won was tricked by the demon to kill all those people? Later Bang-Won became King Taejong and was never accountable for murdering all those innocent people.
This drama is the 2021 version of Kingdom. He plays King Taejong.ġ6 eps, looks like a great drama to watch!
