Right. Sorry I think I wasn’t clear

I think it’s the spirit of the character and not a literal attempt at recreating the story in the book

Ditto with #HongGilDong and #TheRebel but, like you said, gender swapped

Can’t wait for #ToMyBelovedThief. While the drama is inspired by the iconic outlaw #HongGildong, the teaser is giving me #KnightFlower vibes but with even more romance. #MoonSangmin #NamJihyun

#100DaysMyPrince is one of my favorite historical K-dramas, so I’m excited to see #NamJiHyun return to this genre. Curious about this take on #HongGildong, especially with #MoonSangmin joining. Love the trope of the investigator falling for their target! #ToMyBelovedThief

Although he is a magician & eventual king, for being a bandit leader & helping the poor, #HongGildong gets called the #RobinHood of Korea. In my interview w/ Dr Minsoo Kang we get into the similarities & the stark differences between the two legendary outlaws.
Listen wherever you get your podcasts!

Last night I had the pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Minsoo Kang to discuss his translation of #HongGildong. We discussed the controversy surrounding its authorship, how it became the most well-known adventure story in Korea, and the ways Hong Gildong is (and is not) like #RobinHood!
