"Saimdang: Light's Diary" has gone through production since August last year to June this year. It was going to be released in Korea, China and Japan on the 10th this month. However, the relationship between Korea and China has turned cold due to THAAD which caused the Chinese to put a brake on this plan.

The drama review on the Chinese side is going to come out with tin the week but circumstances hint that might not happen. Not allowing "Saimdang: Light's Diary" to go on as planned can be a good example of restricting Hallyu in China.

Sources are waiting on the result of President Park Geun-hye and Premier Xi Jin Ping's summit. In the worst case scenario, sources will prepare two dramas for release.

"Saimdang: Light's Diary" is the retold story of Saimdang's life, love and art. Her co-star is Song Seung-heon in the role of Lee Gyeom. Other casts are Oh Yoon-ah, Kim Hae-sook, Yoon Seok-hwa and more.
