The most highly anticipated drama in the first half of 2016, KBS 1TV's science period drama, "Jang Yeong-sil - Drama" has revealed the first still image of the leading actor Song Il-kook in slave clothes. The great scientist in the 15th century Joseon was actually a slave in the beginning, and the unfamiliar fact about the scientist, who is well-known for his internationally recognized scientific achievements, evokes curiosity in the viewers.

He was born in a status of government slave and went through the contempt and disdain from others. Although his birth endowed the unwanted limit based on his social status in the feudal caste system, his passion was more about pure scientific interest rather than his desire to upgrade his social status.

This is why the anticipation on the new period drama is high, which will depict the life story of scientist Jang Yeong-sil, who contributed hugely to the successful establishment of Renaissance of science in Joseon.

People are expecting that KBS 2TV will continue its fame with the new period drama, "Jang Yeong-sil - Drama" after 'Jung Do-jeon' and "Jing Bi-rok", which has shown new standards in the making of period dramas.
