Fans of Kim Hyun Joong were all excited when the news of his new drama was
first released last year during his Asia Tour. However, the drama has been
facing difficulties in airing since last year December and KBS has recently
decided not to air the drama even after the script was modified.
The drama’s production company Media100 was quick to reply and stated that in
order to meet the requirement of TV broadcasting station, they have changed
script writer and re-edited their script, a large amount of money has been spent
and subsidized by the production company themselves.
But after many changes were made, KBS has made final decision that they will
not air ‘City Of Conquest’. According to Media100, the reason given by KBS is
that the drama contains too much violence, it is not suitable to be aired right
after South Korea’s new president’s inauguration, blaming KBS for violating
their contract.
However, KBS has denied this accusation and stated that the reason for
dismissal of ‘City Of Conquest’ is simply because of the drama is unable to meet
the standard even after much editing. Besides of the inappropriate content to be
aired on TV due to too much violence, but whether the drama will get a good
audience response is the main reason.
Kim Hyun Joong and Jung Yoo Mi are the lead roles for ‘City Of Conquest’, the
production fees have exceeded 4billion won. The drama started shooting last year
in Japan and was originally scheduled to air on KBS2 early this year. Now that
the TV station has decided not to air the drama, we wonder if Kim Hyun Joong
will choose another drama soon?
