Upcoming KBS 1TV historical drama, “Jang Yeong-sill,” starring Song Il-gook, will be shown in Hong Kong.
“The export contract with a company in Hong Kong has recently been signed,” a KBS TV official said today. “It is the first historical drama to be exported to Hong Kong.”
The 24-episode drama will go to air in January through KBS 1TV, depicting the life of scientist Jang Yeong-sil, who contributed hugely to the renaissance of science in the Joseon Kingdom (1392-1910).
Song Il-gook plays Jang Yeong-sil and Kim Sang-kyung plays King Sejong, who noticed Jang’s abilities.
