[ChanMi's drama news] Eric Moon, the Great ChilWoo... what's with the fake horses?

It seemed as if KBS2's drama, 'The Great Chilwoo' went back 10 years in time for using old fashioned action techniques. Way to lower the drama quality!

According to Sunday's Asahi Shinbum, the Koma Jinja has seen an endless flow of women aged between 30 and 70 since September last year, when Korean TV soap opera "The Legend" (The Four Guardian Gods of the King), which stars Bae, began to air in Korea. After being aired on the NHK satellite channel in December last year, "The Legend", which deals with the life of King Kwanggaeto the Great, known as the "Great Expander" of ancient Korean history, has been enjoying popularity in Japan, where it is now being shown once a week on regular NHK.
