Strongest Chil Woo - Episode 1

Strongest Chil Woo Starring Eric and Koo Hye Sun

Strongest Chil Woo is an unconventional historical drama starring Eric Moon (Que Sera Sera) and Koo Hye Sun (Boys Over Flowers) that was one of the most talked about shows in 2008. This is a story about a man who is a lowly government official by day but the Korean version of Zorro at night to avenge the villains of society. He dons a black mask, has long hair, and rides off on his horse brandishing a whip under the moonlight (this would be a great look on Halloween). The backdrop is Korea in the 1600s, when “it is said that rather than be a person born in chaotic times, better to be reborn as a dog in peaceful times. However, there are some people who are born as dogs in chaotic times. This is their story.” As you will see, there is a lot of messed up stuff done on people in Chil Woo’s world, especially against women.

Strongest Chil Woo can be pretty intense at times with lots of blood, cruelty, and horrific injustices inflicted on the weak. However, it is also a fun drama full of swagger and hysterical over-the-top scenes (drag queens, crazy elephant, horse acrobatics, magic, gods, etc.). This is a fictional story that places a very high value on its entertainment factor and doesn’t pretend to be historically accurate. Enjoy!

Also known as Strongest Chilwu, The Mighty Chilwu, or Choi Kang Chil Woo. Visit our friends at Drama Wiki and Hancinema for additional information about this drama.
