Asian Drama

This is a 100% Pre-produced drama. Filming began on 2016-August and finished on 2017-March. It’s based on the 2001 movie “My Sassy Girl” but set in a historical time period.

It’s about Love story of a cold city scholar Kyun Woo (Joo Won) who’s known as “Joseon’s national treasure” and the sassy princess Hye Myung (Oh Yeon Seo) in a Joseon Dynasty era.

Yeon Gae Somun is the general who killed the penultimate King of Goguryeo, Yeongnyu, in 642. It was a period of tremendous instability, both because of the pressure by Shilla, but also because the political situation in Goguryeo was very confusing. After General Yeon put Yeongnyu's nephew Bojang as his puppet on the throne following his coup d'etat, he tried with little success to calm down Yeon's two sons in trying to gain power, and started repressing Buddhism (the Kingdom's official religion) in favour of Taoism.
