SEOUL, Mar. 1 (Korea Bizwire) — A South Korean-Indian collaboration film and drama based on Gaya’s first queen, Heo Hwang-ok, has gotten the green light.
South Korean drama production company Say On Media announced on Thursday that it has agreed to make a collaboration film and drama with India’s Eros International Group and B&C Group.
The joint production will be based on the Korean novel ‘Heo Hwang-ok, Embrace of Gaya’ published in 2010.
The story will cover the journey of princess Heo Hwang-ok of the Ayuta Kingdom of ancient India arriving at Gimhae, a love story with King Suro, a founder of Gaya and her path to the throne.
Both movie and drama will be produced and released in both countries at the same time with the aim of airing in 2020.
With Heo Hwang-ok connecting the two countries, Indian culture will be introduced throughout the Gimhae region.
The seedling of a Bodhi tree, which was recently donated by the Indian government, will be planted in the city after adjusting for the climate.
The tree is expected to be meaningful as Buddhism was introduced to Gaya through Jang Yuhwasang, Heo’s brother.
Furthermore, the Indian Museum in Seoul will be relocated to Gimhae. The museum plans to open in March of next year with 2,500 Indian folk arts and artifacts donated free of charge.
Particularly, a memorial park for Queen Heo is under construction in Ayodhya, a city in India known as the birthplace of Queen Heo Hwang-ok, and a memorial park for Queen Heo will be built in Gimhae as well.

Please make sure that you mention Heo Hwang Ok is from Tamil Nadu and she speaks in TAMIL
There’s actually conflict as to what “Ayuta” refers to. It is widely believed South Koreans believe “Ayuta” refers to Ayodhya which is a North Indian city. Others believe it is actually a place in Thailand. Some actually doubt the existence of this queen altogether. However, there is also I think a city/town/village close to Kanyakumari that it could be referring to. It really depends on the angle the story-writers take. Either way, in a historical k-drama everyone speaks Korean regardless of which kingdom they’ve come from. There has been only a handful of K-drama I’ve watched where the “yuan dynasty” envoys had translators because they couldn’t communicate, and even then those were short-lived characters.
But to clarify – Ayodhya is most likely going to be the origin. It is even the sister city of Gimhae. For this reason. So she probably won’t be Tamil because Ayodhya isn’t in Tamil Nadu, and therefore that wouldn’t make sense. And having her speak Tamil then also wouldn’t make sense.
I’m not saying no to a different language speaking character. I’m just saying it’s unlikely. Especially if it’s the main character.
No quarrel….you can’t talk about Tamil or Hindi… we all are Indians…that’s enough .
Question is not about the nationality she belongs to. History should report correctly. If there is any mistake we need to correct that. The queen’s origin traces back to South Tamil Nadu which is rich in Pearls and the symbols they got as evidence is Fish which is a symbol of Pandiya Kingdom.
truly a great approach towards breaking the culture barriers of both nations! a love story that bloomed back when there was no racism! amazing! my well wishes remain with the team!
P.S. my dear South Indian friends, stop claiming everywhere she’s a Tamil princess. At this point it doesn’t even matter what her ethnicity was. Being Indian is enough!
Answer me, Can you say Chalukya dynasty and Gupta dynasty as one and the same?
When the evidences are clear enough to say that she belongs to Tamil Nadu what is your mistake. Being a Indian it is our responsibility to correct the history if it is wrong.
Are Koreans proud of their lineage to Rama ? Y ? I thought Koreans read history and follow Mahayana Buddhism !
Is Rama the role Model of the Koreans ?
How can a Korean or a Hindoo even consider Rama as a God or a Prophet or a Messenger or a Seer
Rama told Sita that he saved her for HIS HONOUR and not for the HONOUR AND DIGNITY OR SEETA OR A WOMAN

लक्ष्मणानुचरो रामः पृथिवीमन्वपालयत् || ६-१२८-९७
That Rama, having his long arms reaching down his knees, having a broad chest and glorious, ruled this earth with Lakshmana as his companion.
No humans has arms reaching to the knees ! Is Rama an Ape ?
Rama ruled for 10000 years with Lakshmana – as HIS COMPANION ? What about Seeta Maiya ? What do have here ? A Gay Monkey !
Rama spent 12 years with Lakshmana and Apes, with no sex with a woman – so he became Gay –so what – it is all evolution !
As per Ramayana – Rama ruled happily ever after for 1000 years, with Lakshmana by his side (not Seeta) – it is all the Gay Thing (although Uttarakandam says that Rama and Seeta made merry for 10000 years – as miya bibi – but that was to neuter the Gay Theory of the Valmiki Ramayana)
Also, the Ramayana says that Rama had hands till his knees, and that explains his love and fondness for all apes and monkeys
Rama the Limpdick spent 12 years with Lakshmana, in a jungle, with no sex – and was sexually frustrated , and then Vali was banging his brother’s wife – and so, Rama the Limpdick killed Vali – it is all OK La !
It would be nice to know if they have already casted the actors. I would love to have auditioned.
wouldn’t be surprised if it was an all korean cast like Empress Ki, or any other historical korean drama.
This is proof that Rama and Lakshman are impotent limpdicks who could not even sense or hear Seeta Maiaya’s
pangs and wailings.The poor nepali randi had to plead to TREES,BIRDS,RIVERS ! But none came to help the nepali randi
This is the state of the Godliness of Impotentica Rama and Lakshmana.These Hindoo Gods could not sense that their
woman was giving a blow job to Ravana – until the monkeys told them ! dindooohindoo

Aw! Speaks the one coming from the descendants of the most notorious pimp in the history- Muhammed. Its sad how y’ll have the audacity to speak ill about the others when in the first place your harems and gay rulers are known very well in the west. Poor Aisha got fucked so hard by that pervert. Couldn’t control his erections seeing women- so implemented full veils. Indeed an addict –hahahah.
Bitches copied everything from bible and our religion and claims to be the one true one. Serious case of paranoia and bipolar nature. BDW wtf was allah? Your interpretation of the ancient Egyptian gods. Fucking assholess muslims.
If really such a drama or movie comes on the floor by the collaboration of both the countries then it will be a milestone in our relationship .
So it’s my humble request to “say on media” please cast the ” iron lady ” n also an ” oxygen lady ” the most adorable ” lee young ae ” in the lead role of Queen ” Heo Hwang Ok “
She is from Tamil Nadu ayuta kanyakumari not from ayothya . Her name is sembavalam not suriratna. Ayothya old name is saketa. But kanyakumari old name is ayi/ayuthya kingdom. Ayothya fish symbol was given by Mughal emperor in late century. But pandyas has their twin fish flag and also they build a temple named as”meenaatchi” which means fish rule. Even Gaya meaning also fish. Korean and Tamil language has lots of similarities. New born baby learning a new word from their parents is Amma APPA in tamilnadu exactly Korean kids are also pronounce the same word with same meaning. Not only these two words. There are more than 2000 words are similar in these two languages. Even Korean word forming consonants Tamil are also same . At that time ayothya doesn’t have any sea route. But ayuthya kanyakumari has famous for trade. Korkai port which is famous for pearl. Kanyakumari had trade relationship with Korea. Korea’s chuseok festival and Tamil pongal festival are exactly same. Most of the Tamil folk music has come rural side mostly farmers Fisher mans they’ll sang many songs but all of them are illiterate even though they they sing song to freshup their mind. In our culture what ever happened in our life we’ll express it by singing exactly koreans are also done the same. So that only kpop has formed. Tamilnadu main dish is rice Korea’s main dish is also rice. So please research correctly and find your real identity. India has influenced by Hindi so they won’t reveal the truth about Tamil history. Please give her real identity
Indha fights lam vendan ah…avanga la Indian nu sonna adhivae podhum
Myself being an Tamilan….i wish she could be a Tamil prince…but I don’t want that…because Tamilnadu is a part of India…and also UP is….so I will be happy just for mentioning INDIA…stop those silly fights
I REALLY FEEL SO HURT COZ U R ALL WRONG!! AS SHE IS NOT FROM AYODHYA, UTTAR PRADESH. SHE IS FROM AYUTA THAT IS RECENT KANYAKUMARI IN TAMILNADU, SOUTH INDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing. I will try to implement these methods on my blog. Thanks for sharing. Keep updating us.
As a descendant of Kim Su-ro and Heo Hwang Ok, let me say the facts. Heo Hwang Ok is from Ayuta Kingdom in India. After extensive research and analysis of the city of Ayodhya in India, our South Korean historians found that Ayodhya is the Kingdom of Ayuta. Surprisingly most aspects of the culture of the Ayodhya City and Korean culture have many similarities. Some people are claiming she is a Tamil without any proofs. She is mentioned as a daughter of an Indian merchant. She is not a princess , also she is not a Tamil and some fools say Indian Government announced Ayodhya as Ayuta. It is our top Korean Historians who found that it is Ayodhya, not India. Our Korean people are more intelligent than whatever your Tamil. Just don’t plagiarize my ancestor’s history with your own fairy tales to claim pride in things that doesn’t belong to you. 안녕하세요 인도❤️ Thanks to people of Ayodhya for sending my ancestor to Hanguk
