Producers of SBS‘s ‘Warrior Baek Dong Soo‘ have confirmed that the drama will be concluding its run on October 10th with a total of 29 episodes.

The drama was originally scheduled to be a 24-episode series, but thanks to its top positions on viewer ranking charts, producers agreed to extend it to 30 episodes. However, due to the storyline, they were forced to cut back one episode.

Through Newsen, producers stated, “‘Warrior Baek Dong Soo’ will end with 29 episodes. On the 11th, we’ll be airing a special instead. The content of the special needs more time to be developed.”

3 August:

Actors Ji Chang Wook, Yoo Seung Ho, and Choi Jae Hwan are not only the leads in the periodical drama “Warrior Baek Dong Soo,” but also close friends in real life.

Maybe it is because they’ve acted and gone through a lot together for nearly two months now, but the three are boasting such a special relationship that they could be called a trio. Even in the recently released pictures above, the actors show off their close friendship.

When the three of them get some leisure time on set, they usually have fun chatting.

Yoo Seung Ho said, “We became close from seeing each other every day for filming. I feel bad for the other sunbaes, but when the three of us get a schedule together, I really enjoy it.

It’s fun because Jae Hwan hyung tells us many funny stories, and there have been times he got in trouble with the director for fooling around. More than telling stories, I listen and laugh at them.

He showed regret that they will eventually have to part ways due to their varying roles in the drama.

He then continued with a smile, “Although I can only see them on set because my schedule is currently packed, Jae Hwan hyung promised to buy me pasta after the drama is finished so I plan on eating and chatting to my heart’s content then.”

The director said, “The intimacy between the three is like smoke that I feel is transmitted on the screen.”

Check out the drama to see their close camaraderie for yourself!

The teaser photo from “Warrior Baek Dong Soo” depicts Yoo Seung Ho in a much more masculine light, as he sports long, messy hair while showing off his sharp, mature facial features.

Yoo Seung Ho expressed, “If I’ve been called the ‘Nation’s Younger Brother’ up until now, I’d now like to change that into the ‘Nation’s Actor’ through my new acting role.”

Set during King Jung Jo’s reign in the Joseon Dynasty, “Warrior Baek Dong Soo” unfolds a story about a marital arts legend named Warrior Baek Dong Soo who works with his team to fight against a group of assassins that plot the downfall of the King.

The fusion sageuk drama broadcasted its first two episodes last week, and showed an increasing viewership rising from 8% to 10%.
