Deep Rooted Tree

Six Flying Dragons (Korean: 육룡이 나르샤; RR: Yungnyong-i Nareusya) is a South Korean television series starring Yoo Ah-in, Kim Myung-min, Shin Se-kyung, Byun Yo-han, Yoon Kyun-sang and Chun Ho-jin.[3][4] It aired on SBS on Mondays and Tuesdays at 22:00 for 50 episodes beginning on October 5, 2015, as part of SBS 25th anniversary special.[5][6] The drama serves as a loose prequel to Deep Rooted Tree.[7]

Title

[edit]

The Korean title of the series is in Old Korean. Nareushya is a native Korean word, which translates to nara oreuda (날아 오르다) or "soar up to the sky" in modern Korean. Thus, the literal translation of the title is "six dragons soaring up to the sky" (여섯 마리의 용이 날아오르셔서).[8]

Plot

[edit]

The story tells about the foundation of the Joseon dynasty in the Korean Peninsula, and the ambitions, success and conflicts of several real and fictional characters, with a focus on the young Yi Bang-won.
