 @irilight"  Thanks for starting this thread"Wow this drama sounds intrigue and interested as well with a great cast and will looking forward to it when it airs..

[irilight]

@suchadiva42, thank you...

I have been hoping to see Choi Soo-jong in more contemporary drama ever since I have seen him in the excellent drama "The President" (2010).  I think this one is totally up his alley..

And of course, I am happy with the rest of the cast... and also looking forward to Lee Ki-Chan's acting debut here.

Now, I just pray that someone subs it...

It could help if people who are interested will request it on Viki...Here is the link to title request.

English Title: Into the Flames
Korean Title: 불꽃속으로
Starring: Choi Soo-jong, Son Tae-young Ryu Jin, Lee In-hye
Director: Kim Sang-rae (Immortal Classic)
Screenwriter: Jeong Seong-hee (King Geunchogo)
Network: CSTV (TV Chosun)
Release Date: April 19 – June 22, 2014

Outside of Sageuk dramas dedicated to the Joseon era, the South Korean entertainment industry is becoming more involved in making period dramas set during other eras. A new period K-drama, “Into the Flames,” is scheduled to be released next month.

“Into the Flames” is inspired by the true story of Park Tae-joon, the head of POSCO, one of the world’s largest steel company based in Pohang, North Gyeongsang, South Korea. Park Tae-joon is recognized as the “Andrew Carnegie” of Korea. He served in the military as an Army General, going on to successfully climb the ranks in business.

During the 80s, Park resigned from POSCO and went into politics. Supposedly, years later he came under suspicion of fraud. (It’s not clear the if the drama will get into this.) However, Park continued to remain well-liked by his peers and the community. For “Into the Flames,”  his name was changed to Park Tae-hyung. The role will be played by actor Choi Soo-jong (For the Sake of Son).

We’re guessing the drama will focus on Park’s rise in becoming the president of the company. Yet, that was during the 60s. But the clothes in the poster look more 40s. At least the outfits of the actresses pictured. Well, regardless, Hallyu Crush is looking forward to “Into the Flames” on CSTV!

"Into the Flames" with Son Tae-yeong

Son Tae-yeong showed off her outstanding figure.

She attended the press conference of the new TV Chosun drama "Into The Flames" on the 9th in Seoul.

She wore a flower-printed dress which revealed much of her lower back from the side to the back.

Not only that, she appeared to have slender legs and arms as well, which is hard to believe for a mother.

Netizens say, "She's amazing", "Isn't she a mother?", "She must've worked out really hard" and more.

Son Tae-yeong takes on the role of Kumiko in the drama. She's a beauty with a gift of speech and an expert in Judo. She is the life saver of Park Tae-hyeong (Choi Soo-jong) but is in a love-hate relationship with him.

Meanwhile, "Into The Flames" is about the main characters struggle to be free from poverty, the result of the Japanese reign and the Korean War. In the process, two friends become enemies. To be aired on the 18th at 11PM.

TV Chosun’s period drama Into the Fire prepares for (delayed) premiere by awcoconuts | April 17, 2014 | 15 Comments


Choi Su-jong’s new historical drama, Into the Fire (or Into the Flames), was to start this Friday, but the premiere has been pushed back due to coverage of the ferry tragedy and out of respect for the families of the missing. It’s a bit of a wonder that TV Chosun, the cable channel on which Into the Fire will air, was able to land an actor of Choi Su-jong’s caliber for this project, but the star is said to have taken on the drama because of an opportunity to send a message.
