The drama "The Diary of Saimdang Light" (hereinafter the Saimdang Party) starring Hallyu stars such as actors Lee Yeong-ae and Song Seung-heon was broadcast on China. The Korean drama was aired through the official platform in China in 2016 after the launch of the Korean Wave (Korean Wave Restriction) due to the deployment of the Marquis de Sade (THAAD) in 2016, which is attracting interest in the possibility of the release of the Korean Wave.
'Sai-dang' was broadcast on Mango TV, China Hunan satellite TV IPTV channel on the 4th. On the same day, Hunan Entertainment, a local broadcasting company affiliated with Hunan Satellite TV, also posted 'Sai-dang', and online platform Mango TV also uploaded 'Sai-dang' up to 8 times. All were broadcast in the Chinese dubbing version.
'Sai-dang' is a work that deals with the life of Shin Saimdang in the Joseon Dynasty. Lee Yeong-ae played two roles in the two roles of Seo Ji-yoon and the resignation party, as a time lecturer who majored in Korean art history, Seo Ji-yoon, interested in the diary of Lee Yeong-ae, which he accidentally discovered in Italy, and unravels the secrets involved in it.
"Sai-dang" was originally scheduled to be broadcast simultaneously in Korea and China in 2017. Mango TV bought the rights to the resignation party in 2016 and completed the deliberation of the General Bureau of the Photovoltaic Administration in November of that year, but the simultaneous broadcast of Hanwa was not concluded in the aftermath of Han Han.
This was interpreted as a measure under the Han Han-ryong. The China government has taken economic and cultural retaliation measures against Korea, considering it as a means of checking China in the United States when Korea confirms the Marquis de Sade deployment. Although the China government has never officially recognized it, there are restrictions on the distribution of K contents including K pop.
But on December 3 last year, the movie 'Oh! Moon Hee 'is officially released in China in six years as a Korean movie, and it is expected that the atmosphere of the release of the Han Dynasty will be created by the news of the' Saimdang 'running.
There is, of course, a negative view. Some say that the "Sai-dang" broadcast may be one of the diplomatic events ahead of the Korea-China bilateral video summit, which is expected to be held this month.
