YI Bang Won becomes Emperor in 1400 and turns the throne over to Sejong in 1418, so this is anywhere from 18-15 years after 6 FD. I saw from the cast that the lady teacher who gives the alphabet cards to Old Lady Boon Yi will be in it as well as the two big guards she was talking to.

Shin Se Kyung is in this one as well. She was Boon Yi in 6 flying Dragons.

One of the directors and a couple of the writers who did this also worked on 6FD. After watching episode 2 I am really liking this - it's interesting to see one historical after another that covers the same general period....

I really like this so far - so many common things among this, 6FD and SungKyunKwan Scandal.....since it was made five years before 6FD it is sort of a prequel....lol.... Just found this site with some info comparing 6FD and this one - haven't read the whole thing yet - may be of some interest: bodashiri.tumblr.com/post/139534503906/six-flying-dragons-ep-39-40Also according to wikipedia Sudoku-like puzzles appeared first in France in the late 18th century.....wonder if there was really something similar in Joseon back in the day: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SudokuMaybe it's just a poor translation....

Finished the first week. Lots of dudes with beards and funny hats. Lee Bang JI reappeared. The ages are all screwed up. IN 6FD, Lee Bang Won, MooHYul & Lee Bang JI seemed to be around the same age. In this one, MooHyul looks much younger than the dead King and LBJ who looked very old

lol....yup, the usual beards and funny hats - looks like the Mickey Mouse Club if anyone here knows what that was....
Yes, in 6FD they all were about the same age as you say, dodgerman.....from everything I have read MooHyul and Lee Bang Ji were fictional - so since TWDR was the earlier drama - it seems like their ages were changed around to suit the writers of 6FD.....
Also it seems interesting that quite a number of the same actors were used in both - playing different roles - I watched Episode 6 and another one from 6FD shows up....

Watching this makes me almost want to watch The Great King Sejong again.....I mostly remember the astronomy and language stuff, don't recall all this political intrigue and Hidden Root....

I dont think they ever brought up the Root. I remember his Dad killing all of the in- laws but that stopped when daddy died. After that it was mostly about sparring with Ming, the astronomy & language stuff.

Not sure what episode you are up to...but wait til you find out who the Root is.....unless you figured it out...I never figure anything out in any type of drama/mystery....lol....
I really like this one and particularly I still find it so interesting that so many of the same actors are in both this and 6FD....I am assuming it was done deliberately....

There was no storm--it just wt out 3 times for ten minutes, an hour and then ten minutes so we just shut down the computer last night. I just finished 10. When I went on both Viki & DF they had an ad for Doctor Crush with Park Shin Hye. There were 2 Girl Docs in the ad but neither of them looked like PSH!!!
