[08.05.08][news] Eric, Lee Junki, Lee Seung Ki face off in the battle of the heroes


Korean folk heroes will soon take centrestage on television.



Starting from the recently-concluded KBS drama Hong Gil Dong, the trend of folk heroes in sageuk dramas continues with upcoming dramas - SBS's Iljimae, MBC's Iljimae and KBS's Strongest Chil Woo. All 3 dramas are based on Robin Hood-esque heroes who rob the rich to help the poor.

Mun Jung Hyuk (Eric) will also take on the challenge in KBS2's Strongest Chil Woo, playing a najang (judicial court official) by day who turns into an assassin who punishes evildoers in the name of justice by night. Mun Jung Hyuk, who will be appearing in a sageuk drama for the first time, will be showing off some moves in spectacular action scenes.

These roles tend to conflict with reality, and all portray heroes in the time of chaos. Each of the actors now have to work on how to differentiate his own role from the others.
