Gorgeous costumes!

Even though it's more accurate and whatnot, I agree that Han Hyo Joo shouldn't have been paired up with such an old guy because they'll probably be lacking chemistry.
I'm not so sure about this show... I'll probably just hire someone to compile all of Bae Soo Bin's scenes for me. That's all I really need. ; )

BSB in sageuk costume... (wipe-off drool :P)

Hey, Marsden got the girl in 27 Dresses. One for the nice guy.

"sageuk-CSI"

OK, now I'm interested.

I love how HHJ is another drama with BSB and how he doesent get the girl and also BSB and LSY are again in drama lol. Its like BSB's past 2 co-stars again in one drama i might actually check it out.

Did you know that Ji jin Lee and Lee So Yeon are married to each other. Can't forgive JJL for being so mean to Jo Hyu Jae in Love Letter and LSY character in Spring Waltz was also mean to Han Hyo Joo. Don't know if I can take both of them in the same drama, but I do respect their acting, Just love HHJ in Brilliant Legacy and Spring Waltz.

question, don't kings usually wear red? Why is JJH's character wearing blue? Or has my video card gone wonky? And like someone above mentioned, I thought women still wore wigs at this time too....

hahahahaha the first comment wins! so freakin true-- "James Marsden" LOL

god, i hope not though! i was so torn apart by my gradual increasing like of hwan in brilliant legacy coz i loved bae soo bin so freakin much!!!!! he SHOULD get the girl! ...hell, he can get me now, yes/yes? :D HAHAHA!

#32 ......sorry meant to say Ji Jin Hee

not to worry abt BSB's fate...he will always have MOI!!! :)

i love Han from iljimae and Brilliant legacy but still felt uncomfortable with this pair in Dong-Yi. Han looks so young in every matters but i can't think of her as QUEEN. Anyway, i'm happy she can join such a big project and can have major role in this drama. Her acting quite lacking in some scenes in iljimae bcoz it's saguek and she can't speak naturally. I hope she can improve her acting skill here. ^ ^

Hyojoo fighting !!

@32 Jo - "Did you know that Ji Jin Hee and Lee So Yeon are married to each other?"

They are married in real life? Wow, what a strange twist of fate then because Lee So Yeon was rumored to have been Jo Hyun Jae's gf during their "Untold Scandal" and "Joy of Love/Pleasure of Love" days. And of course, Ji Jin Hee made Jo Hyun Jae's life so miserable in Love Letter. Can't forgive Ji Jin Hee either for making my Prince Charming Jo Hyun Jae miserable in Love Letter, kkkk.

Anyway, for LSY fans who haven't seen her in the gem of a short internet film "Joy of Love/Pleasure of Love" here's a link where you can watch it. It is really a joy to watch.

aaaaawwh, I loved BSB and HHJ in Shining Inheritance. is it going to be like dejavu?

Why can't he ever get the girl?!?

Can't wait to watch this drama! I like HHJ and BSB but my mum like JJH so at least we'll probably watch this together...LOL

Can't wait!

I enjoyed Han Hyo Joo's performance in Shining Inheritance but looking at these pictures reminds me of Spring Waltz in that she seems too young for this more mature role... but I suppose I should wait for the drama to see if she can change my mind about it.

@ 32, 38 - No.. JJH and LSY aren't married in real life, in fact LSY isn't even married at all! (It's true that the name of JJH's wife (who is not an actress) is quite similar to LSY though lol)

I'm really looking forward to Dong Yi, and I'm not that worried about the chemistry between the two leads.. I think they look better than I first thought, and I think JJH will support her well.

i hope ji jinhee will let a bit of his facial hair grow like in DJG. he was so handsome like that!!
and oh HHJ is soo pretty!if its true about csi sageuk, i'm going to love it. damo is the coolest sageuk i've ever watched.

@36 The Indian Girl - not to worry abt BSB’s fate…he will always have MOI!!!

And moi too!

Not much into sageuk dramas but the costumes are so pretty.

@42 wa - thanks for the clarification about JJH and LSY. korean names are really confusing, kkkk.

@1 Carmie: "He won’t get the girl. He’ll be the Korean James Marsden where he’ll do one random drama where he does get the girl."

Hilarious! Or he may get the girl then she'll end up killing him. Poor BSB, I'd love to see him end up happy sometime, even in a random drama where he finally gets some nut-job.

I doubt I'll be watching Dong Yi.

The premise and characters are seemingly identical to Yi San, and the writer and director are the same as well. I liked Yi San enough to watch it all the way to the end (even though it started to seriously run out of steam after 50 episodes or so), but I don't want to see a remake. First of all, I found the political maneuvering in Yi San to be frequently boring, and I expect there to be more of the same in Dong Yi since it concerns the life of a king. Watching people scheme and plot in identical rooms for 77 episodes gets a little old. Second, the love story was very lackluster because of the amount of formality between the main characters, and it wasn't very compelling in general. I expect this to be an issue in Dong Yi as well. Third, I doubt Dong Yi will do anything new in terms of cinematography and overall style, so if you disregard the plot and characters you won't be able to tell it apart from Dae Jang Geum and Yi San. Some features really need to go, like improbably well-lit indoor scenes, repetitive camera angles and constant flashbacks to conversations that occured seconds earlier.

But what will ultimately determine whether I'll watch this is Lee Ip-sae, who played Young-roh in DJG and Cho-bi in Yi San (also appeared in Byung-hoon's 1999 drama Huh Joon, which I have not seen). I only started watching Yi San because I liked her so much in DJG. But will she be in Dong Yi? She has worked with Byung-hoon three times before, so it's possible. Man, if she's in the cast I'll watch it even if it's otherwise completely boring.

AHA JJH IN ANOTHER HISTORICAL DRAMA

Bae Soo-bin in Joseon costume=TOTAL HOTNESS!!!
I'm going to watch this becase of BSB and HHJ. I enjoyed
"Brilliant Legacy". LSY and BSB were good in "Angel's Temptation"...I liked them there :)

The "old time" hairstyle doesn't really suit HHJ.
