“I’m embarrassed”… ‘Gogeo-jeon’, ‘Hyeon-side’ Viewer petition appears in development [Ex’s issue]

(Reporter Jo Hye-jin, Xports News) ‘The Goryeo Khitan War’ is drawing criticism from the author and viewers due to the plot development in the second half of the drama.

Recently, a petition with the title “I petition to change the development of the Goryeo Khitan War drama to the original story”appeared at the KBS Viewers’ Rights Center.

Mr. A wrote in this article, “The story has been a mess since the contract with the original writer. “It’s been a long time since an authentic saga came out, but along with General Yang Gyu, the drama is going to the grave,” he said. “These days, it’s the quality of the early 2000s.” “It’s so embarrassing that it will be uploaded to Netflix and seen by the whole world,” he wrote.

He continued, “For the sake of the reputation of Korean historical dramas, I hope they sign a contract with the original writer and go all the way to the end.” He also said, “The original writer wrote the story development after the contract, but there was no such thing as Hyeonjong’s crazy falling horse scene.” As of the morning of the 22nd, the petition received consent from 666 people.

KBS 2TV’s historical drama ‘Goryeo Khitan War’ (written by Lee Jeong-woo, directed by Jeon Woo-seong and Kim Han-sol), a historical drama that returned after a long absence, was loved by viewers for its solid historical research, passionate performances by actors, and detailed directing.

However, after the death of Yang-gyu (played by Ji Seung-hyun) in the 16th episode, which reached the turning point, viewers’ complaints poured in due to the disappointing developments and settings. In particular, in episode 18, the scene where Hyeonjong (Kim Dong-jun), who had a conflict with Kang Gam-chan (Choi Soo-jong) while promoting local reform, suffers an accident while riding a horse in a furious gallop, is a scene that says, “It made Hyeonjong golden.”expressed regret.

Accordingly, writer Gil Seung-soo, who wrote the original novel, also revealed the original content after Yang-gyu’s death on his blog and expressed dissatisfaction with the content. Writer Gil said, “Of course, Hyeonjong’s fall from a horse depicted in episode 18 is not in the original story,” and “Hyeonjong had both tolerance and determination.”

Also, “It was like a web novel, not a historical drama” , “Until episode 16, it was moving within the framework of history and the original work, but now it’s flying off somewhere” , “I don’t think I was fully familiar with the historical facts.” “They are making a fool out of someone who can be considered the most famous soldier in Korean history.”He also expressed his disappointment by leaving strong criticism.

At a critical point where the turning point has been reached, the ‘Goryeo Khitan War’ is disappointing viewers with its unreasonable settings. If this viewer petition receives more than 1,000 signatures within 30 days, KBS will be obligated to respond. As the petition is quickly gaining support from viewers, attention is being paid to whether KBS will respond.
