What happens
Shin Don (Korean: 신돈) is a South Korean television series based on the novel The Phantom Queen (다정불심; 多情佛心; Dajeongbulsim) by Park Jong-hwa, starring Son Chang-min, Jeong Bo-seok, Seo Ji-hye, Oh Man-seok and Kang Moon-young. It aired on MBC from September 24, 2005 to May 7, 2006 every Saturday and Sunday at 21:40 (KST). This series's first title was originally the same as the title of the novel but later was changed after Son Chang-min took the main role as Shin Don. Son also made his first appearance in a sageuk since Tale of Chunhyang (춘향전) in 1988. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
