But after many changes were made, KBS has made final decision that they will not air ‘City Of Conquest’.

However, KBS has denied this accusation and stated that the reason for dismissal of ‘City Of Conquest’ is simply because of the drama is unable to meet the standard even after much editing. Besides of the inappropriate content to be aired on TV due to too much violence, but whether the drama will get a good audience response is the main reason.
Kim Hyun Joong and Jung Yoo Mi are the lead roles for ‘City Of Conquest’, the production fees have exceeded 4billion won. The drama started shooting last year in Japan and was originally scheduled to air on KBS2 early this year. Now that the TV station has decided not to air the drama, we wonder if Kim Hyun Joong will choose another drama soon?
