KBS has halted its production of historical dramas due to funding issues, however, the broadcast station decided to reintroduce the historical drama to reinforce its role as the national public broadcaster of Korea.

I'm in awe of the mystic of Lee Bang Won, but at this point, I kinda really want other historical figures to be portrayed. Lee Bang Won and Jeong Do-jeon and their entire ordeal has already been done well IMO.
