MBC’s Kim Suro begins filming

MBC has a weekend sageuk in the works, a drama called Kim Suro (after the king, not the actor), which began its first shoots the last week of March with a large-scale battle scene. The drama stars Ji Sung in the role of King Kim Suro; his Swallow the Sun co-star Yoo Oh-sung has also been cast.

The pictured battle scene unfolds between the armies of Suro’s father (played by Kim Hyung-il of Great King Sejong) and Chinese forces led by their general (Jang Dong-jik of IRIS). Suro’s father sends his pregnant wife, played by Bae Jong-ok, away to keep her safe from the Chinese army. She escapes from the battlefield to Gaya (Kaya) territory, and Suro later goes on to found the Geumgwan Gaya state in the first century A.D., of which he was king.

One production official said, “We have just entered filming, but we are certain that Kim Suro will be very different from previous sageuks. Watching King Suro grow as a sovereign and as a person will make a strong impression on viewers.”

Kim Suro will take the place of weekend drama A Man Called God and premieres at the end of May.

I think it would have been hilarious if Kim Sooro was the lead actor for this drama.

Omg..I kept thinking it was the actor...hence confusion. Normally I don't watch much sageuk but the genre has really been on a roll.

Ji Sung is on my happy list ever since New Heart, goodwill forever! I'm curious to see his first foray into a Jumong-esque sageuk. I'm way more interested in this Han Dong Yi. Can't wait to check out the drama!

Wow, there aren't a lot of sagueks about Gaya (Kaya). It's mostly about the big three (Goguryeo, Silla, and Baekje).

Ji Sung in sageuk? I can't imagine. I'll check this drama out for sure with or without Ji Sung.

This isn't exactly Ji Sung's first time in a sageuk, so he's got some experience in this genre at least.

Either way, it's Ji Sung! And there's Bae Jong Ok! I also have a love for sageuks, so I'm happy about everything~
