Английская Википедия:City Conquest
City Conquest (Шаблон:Ko-hhrm) was a cancelled South Korean television series.
Adapted from the comic book of the same title by Shin Hyung-bin, the action series was originally budgeted at Шаблон:SK won. Starring Kim Hyun-joong, Jeong Yu-mi and Namkoong Min, it began filming in Japan in July 2012.[1][2][3] Due to Kim's Korean Wave fanbase, international broadcasting rights were pre-sold to Japan, China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.[4]
But in February 2013, prospective broadcaster KBS denied it a slot in their 2013 drama lineup, because network officials found the series "too violent" and its quality not up to their standards. Unable to secure a slot with the other two major channels in Korea, MBC and SBS, filming was halted and the project cancelled.[5]
Japanese satellite/digital terrestrial channel DATV was one of the show's investors, and in July 2013, it aired the one-hour TV special City Conquest: Episode Zero, showing existing footage shot on location in Nikko, Utsunomiya and Kinugawa, as well as behind-the-scenes clips.[6][7][8] The special was uploaded on YouTube and was also released on a Japan-only Blu-ray/DVD.
