Bestselling historical epic ‘GOGURYEO”‘ to be remade into TV series. @WishfulToki , a long series like this will be fun to discuss at your blog.
Author Kim Jin-myung’s best-selling historical epic series, “Goguryeo,” will be remade into a blockbuster television series.
The dramatic royal narratives set in Goguryeo (37 B.C.-668 A.D.), one of the Three Kingdoms of Korea in the northernmost part of the peninsula, will revolve around five kings ― Micheon, Gogugwon, Sosurim, Gogugyang and Gwanggaeto the Great.
Currently at the screenwriting stage, the show is slated for production with a budget of some 100 billion won ($89.7 million) by the entertainment agency IOK Company, which recently signed a license agreement with the author.

It means a new drama with 50 episodes?

Probably.
The book currently has 7 series so I’m not sure how many episodes per season.
They are starting with the 15th king of Goguryeo

Remade? Has it been adapted into a series before?
This is likely going to be multi seasons, since they mention GOT.

Nope. This is the first time.

I’m not thrilled about the GOT reference, but if it’s a high quality drama I’ll forget I ever said this. 😁

Same. Look what happened to ARTH lol.
I dislike hype but there is a possibility that the original author is involved.

Yep. I cringed the moment they mention GOT. And I thought about Arthdal at that exact moment as well.
Not something a producer should mention from the get go.

Okay! 🤞🏼 Looking forward to it (with just a bit of cautious skepticism related directly to Arthdal …)
