Warrior Baek Dong Soo
An action/historical fusion television series starring Ji Chang Wook and Yoo Seung Ho, Yoon So Yi, Shin Hyun Bin, Choi Min Soo, and Jun Kwang Ryul was released in 2011. It aired on SBS for 29 episodes, from July 4 to October 10th, 2011, at 21:55 on Mondays and Tuesdays. Swordsman Baek Dong-soo, a historical figure in Joseon history, grows into a folk hero in this period drama based on the comic Honorable Baek Dong-soo by Lee Jae-heon from 2010. King Jeongjo commissioned Muyedobotongji, one of the most important works in the history of Korean martial arts, from three authors, including Baek. For all of the political intrigue that takes place in Joseon between factions such as those commanded by King Jeongjo and his Qing ambassador as well as Kenzo from Japan, the series at its foundation is about brotherhood, friendship and devotion and honor, all of which are intertwined throughout the narrative.
