Korean drama series
Joseon Exorcist debuted to high ratings this week but the excitement quickly fizzled out due to a controversy. Just four days after its launch, broadcaster SBS confirmed that the show will be cancelled after airing two of its 16 planned episodes.
Joseon Exorcist is set in the early 15th century during the reign of King Taejong, the third monarch of the Joseon Kingdom. The king and his sons, Prince Chungnyung and Prince Yangnyeong, try to protect the kingdom from zombie-like evil spirits.
Although it’s a fictional story, some viewers took offense at the distorted portrayal of King Taejong as a tyrant. In the show, he slaughters innocent civilians due to a hallucination in the first episode.

Controversial Korean drama “Joseon Exorcist” is facing 5,000 complaints despite that it was cancelled due to history distortion and use of Chinese props.
This was revealed by the Korea Communications Standards Commission (KCSC), the government agency in-charge of regulating broadcast and internet content.
The airing of “Joseon Exorcist” was cancelled after only two episodes as Koreans accused it of distorting Korean history and using Chinese props. Korea and China have been in dispute over claims on the origin of kimchi and hanbok.
During an online meeting by the KCSC on March 31, Secretary General Min Kyeong-joong revealed that there are many complaints about TV programs because of history distortion, violence and cruel scenes, Korean media reported.
