Director
Lee Joon Ik, responsible for "The King" and "the Clown" the highest
grossing Korean film of 2005, and Wish (2013), a movie that won Best
Picture in Blue Dragon Awards, will take the megaphone.
Actor Song Kang Ho, has confirmed earlier to play King Yeongjo.
Yoo Ah In to take on the role of The Crown Prince Sado. Moon Geun Young is offered to play Prince Sado’s wife, Lady Hye-gyung. Both Yoo Ah In and Moon Geun Young are still considering the offer.
The story of Sado is based on the famous history of Crown Prince Sado and King Yeong Jo of Joseon. History indicates Sado suffered from mental illness, accused of randomly killing people in the palace and being a serial rapist. King Yeongjo issued a royal decree that ordered Sado climb into and be sealed within a large wooden rice chest on a hot July day in 1762. After eight days, Sado died of suffocation.
During the 19th century, there were rumors that Prince Sado had not been mentally ill, but had been framed. Sado’s death remains an issue of debate to whether his death was a retribution for his actual misconduct or if he was the victim of a conspiracy by his political opponents.
Sado plans to crank in on July this year after completing the whole casting, and will release sometimes next year.
