Synopsis
Based in the 1930’s of Shanghai, China. This drama is a story about love, friendship, aspiration, loyalty and patriotism.
The story goes with the man named Shin Jung Tae (Kim Hyun Joong) who will protect his fellowmen from the Japanese Invasion. He has a natural skills on fighting and later on earned his way to be one of the greatest fighter during Japan Rule.
Shin Jung Tae loses his father at the age of 15 when a Japanese soldier shoots him during the Japanese occupation of Shanghai in the 1930s. But instead of finding justice, Jung Tae is accused of his own father’s death. Jung Tae finds justice only by using his fists in the back alleys of Shanghai, growing up to become the best fighter on the continent. After his father’s death, Jung Tae is taken in and raised by the father of Yoon Ok Ryun (Jin Se Yun). He falls in love with his feisty younger “sister,” who aspires to be a singer but becomes so much more, although he is too clumsy to express his true feelings. But the cold and calculating Deguchi Gaya (Im Soo Hyang), the stepdaughter of a high official of Japan’s National Assembly Denkai, may stand in their way of happiness. Can the young Korean ex-patriots in China preserve their futures during such harsh times?

January 2nd, 2014 at 4:45 pm
All d best in ur new drama KHJ
January 2nd, 2014 at 7:08 pm
i’ll watch this because of kim hyun joong – haven’t seen him act in quite a while, although watched him in ‘barefoot friends’. i usually like action drama, hope khj delivers. good luck!
January 2nd, 2014 at 7:59 pm
I’m really anticipating this drama! KJH really showed his sincerity in Barefoot friends, and I think he’s even cooler now. Kim Jae Wook being in this drama is also awesome, he’s really great!
January 2nd, 2014 at 9:19 pm

Na jó, még van idő….
January 3rd, 2014 at 6:37 am
Can’t wait
January 3rd, 2014 at 6:42 am
I don’t know. This drama sounds like a lot of emotions are involve. My question is can KHJ express these emotions? In his previous dramas and television Specials he lacks emotional expression, he tends to act like a professor rigid and sumber. I do hope he really express himself in this drama; let us see that he has evolve.
January 3rd, 2014 at 2:15 pm
i wish this was a historical 🙁 hyun joong sshi will wait for your next drama..
January 3rd, 2014 at 7:30 pm
lol..i wish it was ‘not’ a historical.. 🙁
January 3rd, 2014 at 9:52 pm
Wow looks promising.
January 4th, 2014 at 1:15 am
Hwaaaaaww.. KHJ he looks so differeny yaaa…compared with his previous drama (bbf n playfulkiss). I hope this drama will be great… I’m so exciting ;), but I’m a little bit afraid with. JSY’s acting here….coz I was disspointed watched her in gaksikal with Joo won, lack of expression… But will see, hope she’s already improved her acting here… 😉

Inspiring Generation will premier at KBS World from 29 January 2014 every Wed & Thu 10pm KST.
January 5th, 2014 at 3:13 am
It is really great to know that Kim Hyun Joong will be on a new drama, especially after what happened to City Conquest.
January 6th, 2014 at 12:01 am
I’m really excited for this,a new KHJ!fighting
January 6th, 2014 at 7:37 am
kidae daebaek
January 7th, 2014 at 11:01 pm
I’m very glad KHJ gets to show physical strength and masculinity in this drama. Getting punched in the gut and face will do wonders to improve the lack of intense emotion that he didn’t show in previous dramas. But, I hope it doesn’t leave a scar on that flower boy face evan though a small scar is HOT. I pray he maintains his new physique from what I have seen in the early photo releases!
January 8th, 2014 at 10:32 am
i didnt recognize khj,,, i will watch this for sure…
January 9th, 2014 at 6:53 am
I will definetely watch this!! I LOVE Kim Hyun Joong but he hasn’t been the main character in many dramas so I will definitely look forward to this!
January 10th, 2014 at 12:46 am
@sura Sraoy
So far, kim hyun joong has only been in 3 dramas. In boys over flowers, he was second lead. He was main character in Playful Kiss and now for inspiring generation.
January 10th, 2014 at 1:51 am
wow!!.. The second Trailer is awesome
January 10th, 2014 at 6:39 am
Hope he has improved.i lyk him more than lee min ho but this guys acting skills is not the best in my opinion though i cant act.i also want to dare this guy that he should prove me wrong that he is not a store product that is to say he didnt suffer for his popularity.plz no insult coz this is my opinion
January 10th, 2014 at 7:08 am
hope this drama get good ratings as the amazing trailer. and its next week!
January 11th, 2014 at 2:04 am
KHJ was really stiff in earlier dramas. I don’t think there will be any change this time either.
January 13th, 2014 at 2:17 am
please add the 3rd teaser for Inspiring Generation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vgyzpKCrpRw
January 15th, 2014 at 5:19 pm

KIM HYUN JOONG FIGHTING!!!! <3 <3 <3 <3
January 16th, 2014 at 2:55 am
Awesome first episode. It is great to see Kim Hyun Joong in a very different manly role. The clothing, music and all the actors especially the younger ones are awesome.
January 16th, 2014 at 4:58 am
Awesome 1 episode. Quality is so good.
January 16th, 2014 at 1:44 pm
Love the first episode. Want to see more of the fighter Shin Jung Tae. I wish the child actors parts were shorter. Wainting to see more of Kim Hyun Joong in the next episode.
January 16th, 2014 at 3:25 pm
Kim hyun jung…opa really lukin forward to this….fighting
January 16th, 2014 at 7:01 pm
Can smone Pls tell me the lead actress jin se yun or im soo yang…#curious hehehe..
January 17th, 2014 at 3:45 am
@Jonson
Lead actress I think is Gaya (Im Soo Yang). But I think Jin Se Yun’s role will be as good as the lead.
January 17th, 2014 at 3:50 am
Wednesday Please please come fast. can’t wait to see Kim Hyun Joong. Trailer for next week gave a peak to Kim Hyun Joong. Anticipating more and more.
January 17th, 2014 at 8:35 pm
first episode is very much to my liking. khj is showing a totally different side of him, although very few scenes yet. the younger jung tae is also good. i’ll follow through.
January 17th, 2014 at 10:51 pm
Great opening scenes.
January 18th, 2014 at 12:21 am
drama the best!figthing!
January 18th, 2014 at 6:27 am
Figthing,Kwak Yun!Perfect actor!!!Good drama!
January 19th, 2014 at 1:17 am
The first 2 episodes was awiiisome.. Kim Hyun Joong Junior really looked like KHJ 😉
January 19th, 2014 at 1:43 am
KWAK YUN-FIGTHING!YOU ARE PERFECT ACTOR!
January 19th, 2014 at 1:45 am
Wow-super action!Figthing,Kwak,you are very good!
January 19th, 2014 at 3:06 am
From which episode will Kim Hyun joong’s part start? Although I like the story and the young actors, I really really really want to see Kim Hyun Joong!!!
January 20th, 2014 at 2:10 am
Can anyone tell me whether this is a good drama to watch? I watched Playful Kiss and Boys Before Flowers of Kim Hyun Joong and I found them interesting. But I am not sure about this drama as I usually like romantic comedies. Also the ratings so far are not so good!
January 21st, 2014 at 1:56 am
Most people are watching this for the name Kim Hyun Joong. The writing is keeping him off the screen too much in episodes 1 and 2. I’m getting bored if not for the fights!
January 21st, 2014 at 2:38 am
Low rating 🙁 …thou i can’t watch it yet will av to wait and buy it on dvd?..jin se yun and kim hyun jung opa luv u both :-*
January 21st, 2014 at 6:02 am
i’m enjoying the first two eps ~~~ i can feel all the emotion and tense kkk
January 21st, 2014 at 7:17 am
can any one tell me kim hyung joong apear in the two first episod?
January 21st, 2014 at 4:19 pm
@arum: khj appeared in first episode. the writing in the early episodes is setting the story premises so we have to wait when he turns an adult and he will appear in most scenes.
January 22nd, 2014 at 7:01 am
thanx tigerb,iam waiting…
January 22nd, 2014 at 7:06 am
maybe when YWCFAS is finished, the ratings could be going up.
The first two eps can tell that this drama gonna be interesting, but beating YWCFAS seems hard. Love both dramas ~~~ bless SBS and KBS Wed-Thu ~~
January 22nd, 2014 at 7:38 am
GOOD ACTORS,PERFECT DRAMA!
January 22nd, 2014 at 1:20 pm
kwak dong yeon sooo cool…he is look like hyun joong too ..
January 23rd, 2014 at 2:00 am
Am Really rooting for this drama…..fighting 😀
January 23rd, 2014 at 2:21 am
Kim Hyun joong’s part will start in Episode 4…. can’t wait. The story is turning out to be sooooo interesting. Why tomorrow is so far away?
January 23rd, 2014 at 2:40 am
The Jealous Ok Ryun was cute. I already want her to be the female lead.
January 23rd, 2014 at 4:37 am
Please add next episode’s preview
January 23rd, 2014 at 10:37 pm
@maknaee #60: just like ‘the heirs’ could only improve its ratings after ‘secret’ finished. guess when televiewing audience has already focused on a drama because they like it, they would not be bothered watching the competition. i think the ideal situation is when 2 or 3 dramas at the same time slot start at the same date then we would know realistic ratings, but maybe there are other factors to consider.
January 24th, 2014 at 8:19 am
@tigerb yeaah you’re right. well, that happened for the heirs-MTT and YWCFAS-Miss Korea , they aired at the same time and the ratings goes to SBS dramas. So many good drama nowadays~~~
January 24th, 2014 at 4:10 pm
This is an interesting story and plot.
1 – 4th Episodes are great with younger persons of the leading starts. I’m a big of KHJ and I cant wait to see him soon in this drama. It’s the only reason why I’m rooting and anticipating this drama bcos this is KHJ’s comeback in the acting since 2010.
I believe this is gonna be great and get higher ratings. It’s get interesting every episodes of the airing.
January 24th, 2014 at 5:04 pm
@ maknaee & tigerb
yeah…this drama is good n with amazing preparation, but like me…i’ve already bacome “You Who Came From The Star”‘s fan. The writer this drama must make the story more…more…more interesting to be a winner from SBS.
January 24th, 2014 at 5:34 pm
I saw him in the 1st and 4th episode for a short a while only … I need to see him more, in the full episodes.
5th episode will be his full presence …
Yeeeeey can’t wait for next week.
January 25th, 2014 at 3:30 am
The drama is getting intense with each episode. And supporting actors are all eye candy.
January 25th, 2014 at 4:44 am
drama is perfect!i like actors!figthing!
January 25th, 2014 at 5:01 am
Is there an OST for the drama? If so, can someone share the link please!
January 25th, 2014 at 10:14 am
@khalish me too. hard.. very hard to beat YWCFAS, it’s a most perfect drama (at least for me) with solid story, great cast, acting, character, chemistry, comedy, suspense, etc. everything. Inspiring Generation will have a chance to get high ratings when YWCFAS is finished. but who knows… God’s Gift-14 Days already waiting. I wonder will SBS win the ratings for Wed-Thu dramas again~
January 25th, 2014 at 11:26 am
@maknaee
No, it’s 3 Days will take over the slot after YWCFAS ended..I love YWCFAS to bits, it’s a happy pills drama but this drama is quite good too IMO..I enjoyed the young parts acting so far especially from Kwak Dong Yun & Joo Da Young..Let’s enjoy both of these shows^^
January 25th, 2014 at 5:25 pm
@rory ah, my mistake /facepalm/. Yes, it’s Three Days. God’s Gift follows One Warm Word kkk
Both dramas are good on their own ways. They have different story concept~
Kwak Dong Yun is a perfecto for the child counterpart. He’s totally a young KHJ. A minime.
Ofc.. enjoy~ 😉
January 25th, 2014 at 7:31 pm
@maknaee @khalish: i like YWCFAS too! luckily for me i don’t watch during live telecast as i am outside korea, and i watch as many dramas as i want online. honestly, although i look at the drama ratings to see how the dramas are faring in s.k., most of the time i don’t agree with those. the ratings come from people with different backgrounds, likes, dislikes, etc. and i come from a different culture, etc. so i leave it as ‘to each his own’ i watch this series because i’d like to see how khj has evolved after years of absence. it seems like he is ready for this as he was prepared to do ‘city conquest’ which was suspended.
January 26th, 2014 at 12:14 am
I find Kwak Dong Yun an excellent actor! For a moment, I confuse his face with Kim Hyun Joong and realised they are both different actor. Omigosh! for a 17 year old, he sure looks old.
KHJ certain grew up to be a real man compared to his sissy days in Boys over Flowers!! Let’s hope his acting is as good as KDY’s. He was a bit stiff in his acting in BOF. So am curious how he’ll act in this intense drama. can’t wait!
January 26th, 2014 at 3:00 am
Just finished watching episode 4 from viki.com. Did they handpick all the handsome guys in Korea for this drama? And the music is babaek!
But, is it going to be all fighting???? Can’t we get to see a blood free face of Shin Jung Tae?
January 26th, 2014 at 3:20 am
Kwak Yun is a perfect actor!Figthing!
January 26th, 2014 at 7:36 am
@tigerb ~~~~~ same here. I downloaded-watched dramas as many as I want, as I can. KHJ isn’t the reason i watch this drama, as a kdrama fans I just like try watching various dramas, and so far this drama is good. Decided watching this till the end. Sometimes I feel sad when good dramas got low ratings, and the others overrated. By watching many dramas for years.. I just found myself more picky these days.. am I .. get older? lol
January 26th, 2014 at 4:19 pm
@maknaee: guess you’ve been into kdramas very much longer than i have. you’re not getting older by being picky, you’re just drama-educated (like having an m.b.a. in dramas) that you’re picking the cream of the crop! enjoy! cheers!
January 26th, 2014 at 5:52 pm
maybe it’s still early for me to say this but i don’t understand why this series is called ‘inspiring generation’. so far the lives of these people are so sad, and violence surround them. we’ll see what the future episodes will bring, ahhhhh, the last scenes of ep. 4 has khj acting so he-man, so okay this will really be interesting!
January 27th, 2014 at 3:23 am
@snow
So far no OST. But I am hoping that Kim Hyun Joong will sing the OST for this drama.
January 27th, 2014 at 8:23 am
@aila yes me too,i like his voice
January 27th, 2014 at 9:18 am
@tigerb drama-educated? sounds funny :p if only there is drama majors in my school kkk
let’s see if this drama really inspire us like the title ‘inspiring generation’ ~ heheh
January 27th, 2014 at 2:04 pm
This drama started off really well and I’m really liking it. I do not understand why the rating is so low. The story and scenes are very well played.
January 27th, 2014 at 8:11 pm
Con someone tell me what this drama is all about dyin curiously…and the rating isn’t impresive either 🙁
January 28th, 2014 at 4:06 pm
wow! tatally loking forward to this! story,music,cast and settings everyting is good! though i need nohing if KHJ is in it!
January 28th, 2014 at 7:15 pm
Today I read on Twitter that there is an OST called “Destiny” for IG. Does anyone know where I can get it? Apparently it is not sung by KHJ.
January 29th, 2014 at 2:01 am
@snow Search it throgh search engine i.e google.com “inspiring generation Ost”..it will lead to the song drectly
January 29th, 2014 at 1:08 pm
@Johnson : why don’t you try watching 1-2 eps? don’t bother with the ratings. if the drama was your cup of tea, then?
January 29th, 2014 at 9:49 pm

@johnson. If you can not see it through viki try other sites .I do not know if i can write the sites but basically if you search the internet 3/4 sites that show asian dramas will come up.and all have it.
January 30th, 2014 at 3:56 pm
[email protected]…will try and do smtin..i can’t wait anymore!
January 30th, 2014 at 5:35 pm
figthing!good drama!
January 31st, 2014 at 1:54 am
Wow this drama is great. Kim Hyun Joog’s acting was awesome. I cried with Hyun Joong when he did. I wish Shin Jung Tae and OK Ryun will stay together. I really like the couple.
January 31st, 2014 at 5:33 pm
feel not satisfy watch
in eps 6..when JT broke OK Ryun heart by skip twice his promise..just for help a girls!…who not related to him, for me is so so …at least he can go meet OK Ryun first and then he can go help others !! I guess so, no matter what century you are….
N as I know ,JT is a guy who not like see a women being hurt by a man!! but what he done to OK Ryun…something more worst!! *-*
I like watch heroic side in here but more likes if seeing Hero who not break a women heart ;)) hehehe
so hope more nicely next time, fighting!!
January 31st, 2014 at 7:11 pm
y the low rating? its a good drama although “my love from another star” is better
January 31st, 2014 at 9:33 pm
y it’s so low? it’s really good drama.the action, the actor, the cinematography, the story. i prefere this than my love from another star
February 1st, 2014 at 1:59 am
There are very few dramas that makes me daydream about the characters after watching the episodes. This is one such drama. I keep on imagining the love story between OK Ruyn and Jung Tae
February 1st, 2014 at 3:24 am
Ohhhh I feel so bad for Ok Ryun. She was stood up twice. Jung Tae please please please make up for it in the next episode. And Why, Jun Tae, do you always get fooled?
February 1st, 2014 at 10:51 am
freaking love this drama so good. Ep 6 was epic fight between KIM hyun joong and Lerder mo was amazing.
February 1st, 2014 at 1:51 pm
As this drama unfolds the hero’s character becomes more the concoction of a story-teller who has never experienced nor witnessed the fighting spirit of the warrior. Writer’s ought to stick to writing about what they know.
Indeed the bad guys (japs) are looking good while the so-called hero(s) is looking more a pseudo-goodie-goodie, to this viewer anyway.
February 1st, 2014 at 2:26 pm
I like this drama.
What is with Im Soo Hyang nose though?
February 1st, 2014 at 3:45 pm
@admin: no ratings for jan. 29 and 30 telecasts yet? by the way, you have no line for jan. 30. thanks!
February 1st, 2014 at 4:37 pm
@hny jo#103: you are a romantic! wish you can dictate a ‘fighting’ man, usually that kind of man has his priority. it is difficult for a girl to have a love interest in a gangster as she’s bound to be hurt.
February 2nd, 2014 at 2:23 am
Why are there no ratings for the 5th Episode?
February 2nd, 2014 at 3:19 am
Soo Ok makes this drama feels refreshing, his character balancing the dark tone from this drama. Love it ~
I do ship Jung Tae – Ok Ryun. But with Jung Tae’s personality and his feeling for Ga Ya, I’m still doubt he does love her. I’m afraid Ok Ryun just keep getting hurt. Noooo
I think I’m gonna shipping Ok Ryun – Soo Ok. OkOk couple (what the…) lol. I just want her to be happy~~
For Ga Ya… neither hate nor dislike her. I feel nothing for her character. Maybe later… there is still 18 eps left.
February 2nd, 2014 at 3:27 pm
I like jung tae with ok ryun…plz plz..they are match couple…
February 2nd, 2014 at 7:08 pm
Please let Jung Tae and OK Ryun Be together. I don’t like Gaya at all.
February 3rd, 2014 at 3:14 am
Can’t wait for the next episode. Please Wednesday come fast! Is there no trailer for episode7?
February 3rd, 2014 at 11:50 am
KHJ-JSY lovely couple pls let this be a hapi ending can’t wait 🙂
February 3rd, 2014 at 8:55 pm
OMG.. OMG… There is a kiss scene between Jung Tae and OK Ryun in episode 7. Just now saw the preview and I am dying to watch the episode… Soooooo excited.
February 4th, 2014 at 12:28 am
Ruby … i totally agree wt you. I also cried when hyun joong cried. Tears are all over me… that awesome hyun joong acting is.
February 4th, 2014 at 2:41 am
Where can I find the Preview of episode 7? Why is it not added to this page?
February 4th, 2014 at 4:09 am
Preview of episode 7 is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUYeCkZxh34&feature=youtu.be
Also here you can watch some unbroadcasted scenes of episode 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ljLxUVn3HEY&feature=youtu.be
February 4th, 2014 at 8:27 am
Eu adoro o casal OR&JT, mas devo confessar que adorei as cenas da Ok Ryun e do Soo Ok. Eles também fazem um casal adorável, enfim se ela ficar com um dos dois eu vou amar.
Não me importo nenhum pouquinho com a Gaya, ela definitivamente não me conquistou ainda.
KMJ OPPA, sarawe. Nunca o vi tão perfeito em um dorama antes, simplesmente adoro suas cenas de luta!!!
February 4th, 2014 at 7:31 pm
i have never seen more cooler characters then these.
February 5th, 2014 at 2:12 pm
I like bad$$s girl Gaya! According synopsis though,Ok Ryon is Jung Tae ‘s love interested.
February 6th, 2014 at 7:54 am
Just watched ep 7 and also saw the kissing scene between JT and OR….that’s so hot…aww I become melted to see that. This couple is sooo cute together and I ship this couple until the end. #teamOR
February 7th, 2014 at 1:23 am
As anticipated the kiss was great. can’t wait to see episode 8
February 7th, 2014 at 1:53 pm
This by far is the best drama airing now. It is a must watch, KHJ’s acting has really improved. I can’t wait for the next episode. GREAT GREAT dRAMA
February 7th, 2014 at 3:27 pm
This is a really good drama. I think Gaya is the most intriguing person….. I love the sorrow and poignancy of her expression. You can really tell that she is a survival with a mission. I really enjoy Gaya’s fight scenes. I love the fact that in a drama full of very physically powerful men, there is still a beautiful girl who can fight just as well without losing her feminine mystique.
Ok-Ryan is just another pretty girl…not quite intense or interesting to me. I can pretty much fast forward through Ok-Ryan’s scenes (I am sure I will get hate mail for that comment.). This may all change after more episodes.
All in all, this is a drama I look forward to every Wed and Thus.
February 7th, 2014 at 4:33 pm
hmmm..awesome Kiss… more better!
February 7th, 2014 at 6:07 pm
So much happening in episode 8. Finally Jung Tae and OK Ryun had a date full of smiles. Oh how I love them together.
But then again so many deaths and so many life changing events for many characters..
February 8th, 2014 at 4:08 am
Again another wonderful episode. Next episode is going to show China. can’t wait.
February 8th, 2014 at 8:08 pm
The death of poong cha in ep 8 breaks my heart. Never thought that his existence last in ep 8. His role is antucipating. I thought he might be jung tae fighting guru. Sad still to lose poong cha early
February 8th, 2014 at 8:11 pm
The dating with ok ryeon also too short than i might think. Always fun to watch JT and ok ryeon romance … they look good together. As for gaya, hate her still but there mighy be
a twist that we never know
February 8th, 2014 at 8:13 pm
The idea of having leader mo is interesting as well. Two handsome guys are having fighting learning. Totally sexy 🙂
February 8th, 2014 at 8:14 pm
Cant wait for more ep to come. I cant get enough with inspiring generation especially kim hyun joong. He is total daebak
February 9th, 2014 at 2:11 am
I have been following this drama is awesome EXCEPT for KIM HYUN JOONG! The supporting cast, specially the eye candy male characters are awesome. The story line, music and breathtaking era are what hooked me. The only down part is the lack of portrayal of emotions and lack of body language by Kim Hyun Joong. He is always too stiff, even when he is with Ok Ryun. His acting might have improved from his previous dramas, but he is still not cut out to do such a strong character.
February 9th, 2014 at 4:10 am
@Sean. I agree with you EXCEPT for the part on Kim Hyun Joong. You have to understand that until episode 8 Shin Jung Tae received no training whatsoever. His body shouldn’t have swift movements of trained fighters. We will have to see how he develops his skills after being trained.
February 9th, 2014 at 4:14 am
Aigooo… his lovely smile came back to life when he had a date with ok ryeon, it’s not an acting but a natural explosion of happiness that he had. I want to see him smile more in this drama even with the intense
February 9th, 2014 at 4:15 am
Love n hate gaya had ove jung tae now i can see it clearly in ep 8
February 10th, 2014 at 3:08 pm
Jung Tae role is perfectly portrait by Kim Hyun Joong. His roughness and yet his kind heart match KHJ physique and look.
I don’t think that his fighting skill is stiff but it’s just the way he is. He’s a young street fighter who fights based on emotions. Lucky he had Poong Cha, Leader Mo and the korea empress guide to give him knowledge and skill over fighting. This will eventually made him God of Battle.
February 10th, 2014 at 3:11 pm
I haven’t watch Man From the Stars, Im still so addictive with Inspiring Generation. What happened with the rating? This is a very good drama.
February 11th, 2014 at 9:48 pm
Inspiring Generation is a great drama ..
I love every movie that (♥♥) Kim Hyun Joong (♥♥) plays it
February 12th, 2014 at 4:21 pm
The casting of Kwak Dong Yun and Kim Hyug Jun is great. Their features are quite similar and KDY has the potential to become a handsome Hallyu star.
This is an interesting drama. Love it.
February 14th, 2014 at 5:48 pm
glad that s.korea televiewing audience is taking notice that this drama is actually a good one! the ratings are improving! more power, and, aaaahhh, happy valentine’s day everyone!
February 14th, 2014 at 7:25 pm
Finally the rating is climbing nicely, people already found out how great drama it is, a bit late though but its okay.
Fighting inspiring generation. You”ll make it to the top soon 🙂
February 15th, 2014 at 5:32 am
http://www.dramabeans.com/2014/02/kim-jae-wook-quits-age-of-feeling-on-heels-of-writer-change/
so … there’s no more Kim Soo Ok? Hell. Get him back, pleaseeee
February 15th, 2014 at 2:34 pm
this drama is good but sad that it is shown simultaneous with Man from the Star and people cannot say no to Kim Soo Hyun’s charisma
February 19th, 2014 at 11:13 pm
It’s today … it’s tonight
February 19th, 2014 at 11:15 pm
Ep. 11, cant wait to see it. I miss jung tae .. specifically i miss kim hyun joong
February 20th, 2014 at 5:33 pm
It is amazing this drama, i like it very much: the plot, the characters! very nice and interesting!
February 20th, 2014 at 6:40 pm
it,s very bood Kim Hyoong Joong. tineretul coreean este ca in romania isi taxeaza idolul daca isi schimba look-ul.imi place serialul si actorii sunt de exceptie.pacat ca reitingul este scazut in coreea. I like this movie!
February 21st, 2014 at 8:08 pm
It is really amazing how Kim Hyun Joong transform from a goody goody actor to an awesome action star…you cannot imagine how that good looking man got bruises and wounds. Thumbs up for Kim Hyun Joong.
February 21st, 2014 at 10:32 pm
Love this drama, I love his performance is gaining expertise from time to time I hope to see many more dramas with him especially to see him again alongside Goo Hye Sun.
February 21st, 2014 at 10:45 pm
Ep 11 n 12 giving the chill especially ep 12 to which he cried .. amazingly i cried with him as well, it tore my heart the way he carries the pain and say the words of goodbye
February 21st, 2014 at 10:48 pm
From flower boy he transformed into a man. A macho good looking and a tender heart man
He delivers the role of shin jung tae perfectly. Now i can say that the role of shin jung tae is meant only for him. Kudos and bravo to kim hyun joong
February 21st, 2014 at 10:50 pm
Im honered and it was a pleasure being your fans among your other amazing fans. I will always stand by at kbs channel every wed and thurs just to see you perform and act in inspiring generation
February 21st, 2014 at 10:52 pm
Not only that i will always root for you in an upcoming more and morr drama after IG as well as yourmusics and other endorsement
February 21st, 2014 at 10:55 pm
You must have been a very great skilled and powerful fighter particularly after you receive teachings from leader mo, the emperor guard, poong cha n by your own experience. Even the no 1 samurai you can beat
February 21st, 2014 at 10:56 pm
Daebak for kim hyun joong, ok ryeon and inspiring generation
IG RULEEEF
February 21st, 2014 at 11:24 pm
Wow, now that’s a way to make this forum most discussed. 🙂
Is the show any better after change of writer?
February 22nd, 2014 at 2:26 am
OK I DID SEE EPISODE 11–THIS EPISODE WAS BASED ON KILLING EACHOTHER FOR A DEAD PERSON, THAT BY THE WAY…HE WAS NOT THE PERSON THEY WERE FIGHTHING OVER…OMG OMG OMG THIS ESPISODE WAS A LOT OF …WHAT THE H*&^ IS GOING ON?????
February 22nd, 2014 at 4:51 am
Now up until the 10th episode I watched this show with so much anticipation and excitement. The actors are wonderful. KHJ has really transformed from pretty face actor to a real actor. He is terrific in this show. Hope he wins an award. The casts are superb. Never seen guys make fighting and gang look so attractive.
However, the 11th and 12th episode is a little boring. Lost so much of the thrill in previous episodes.
I heard the writer was changed. Hope this new one continues and improves on the 1st writer’s story line. It is my current favorite show. Please writers retain the thrill and excitement. FIGHTING!!!!!
February 22nd, 2014 at 7:02 pm
Aah i didnt even know that the writer has changed. No wonder there are few of chain breaks on the story line especially about the fact that kim jae wook has passed away, whats with that? Then leader mo just missing the story line and bong sik but anyway i still enjoy ep 11 and 12 bcos the main attraction is still there shin jung tae.
February 22nd, 2014 at 7:05 pm
There are of new comers though jae hwa and the doctor and some but through the eyes of objective the story is just interesting and must to watch
February 24th, 2014 at 1:28 am
Hei, Song 152, chiar a fost o surpriza placuta pentru mine sa-ti vad comentariul! Anyway I like this drama very much!
February 25th, 2014 at 4:53 am
I’m so into this drama, I love it. I didn’t like Kim Hyun Joong on playful kiss but he is incredible on this drama, this character is for him definitely. I love the character of Gaya, I wish she will finish with him and has a good life but something tell me that she will not end well T.T. Gaya is not evil she just want justices but she didn’t have the right people close to show her the best way, she didn’t have options as her grand father is the big evil head after all the bad things. Gaya learn to survive and she has try to protect the few people that she still care, it is not fair she end up death or alone without the only guy that she loves.
February 25th, 2014 at 6:32 am
I miss Kim Jae Wook….TT
February 28th, 2014 at 4:13 am
Total Awesome, thats pretty much i can say for ep 13 and 14. Kim hyun joong – Shin jung tae super daebak incredable. Big thumb up for him.
February 28th, 2014 at 4:14 am
KHJ is so awesome … my great wish is to be able to see him in person
His handsomeness is out of words. Seeing him in the mirror gets me out of breath.
February 28th, 2014 at 4:16 am
KJJ acting is flawless. His voice is incredible .. his look is amazing. Close to perfection.
February 28th, 2014 at 4:18 am
KHJ acting is flawless. His voice is incredible. His look is amazing. Close to perfection
February 28th, 2014 at 4:20 am
Shin jung tae belongs to Ok ryeon
They look absolutely great together
Deguchi gaya might be his first love but in my opinion ok ryeon is his last and eternal love
February 28th, 2014 at 4:21 am
Ep 13 n 14 is full with thrill and adrenalin rush
February 28th, 2014 at 4:23 am
I cant wait for more n more episodes. Inspiring generation made my wed n thurs worth waiting n anticipating
February 28th, 2014 at 4:46 am
Inspiring generation really deserve ought to have best drama. It has romance full of action, heroisme n nationalisme, betrayal, politic, patriotisme, humanisme, humour, and lots more. It is a complete portrait of life.
February 28th, 2014 at 9:33 am
The fighting scene also very interesting. It has the style of street fighting, samurai, chinese tai chi and some others. It is enjoyable to watch.
February 28th, 2014 at 9:35 am
My first and main attraction as well as anticipation is Kim Hyun Joong on screen
I miss him dearly since playful kiss and to have him again in drama is what i have been waiting and rooting for
February 28th, 2014 at 9:40 am
Inspiring generation ought to and must have gain award for best actor kim hyun joong ssi, best couple kim hyun joong and jin se yun and best drama itself
February 28th, 2014 at 9:42 am
Along the way to more episodes, i dont mind at all should romance between shin jung tae n deguchi gaya blossom but in the end it is ok ryeon his true love
February 28th, 2014 at 2:47 pm
Inspiring action drama ever….all man here…soo awesome fighter!!! love it :))
February 28th, 2014 at 3:13 pm

March 7th, 2014 at 7:38 pm
He’s really good…amazing…He transformed from a good boy to a mature role. I’ve watched episode 1 to episode 16 and it’s really breathtaking drama, my! he’s really IRRESISTIBLE and an AWESOME actor.
March 7th, 2014 at 9:07 pm
Amazing drama love kim hyun joong
March 8th, 2014 at 1:29 am
MayetLabong, i couldnt agree more with you.
March 8th, 2014 at 11:56 am
Excellent acting by Kim Hyun Joong. First noticed him in BOF because I wanted to watch Lee Min Ho after I saw Heirs. Now I am also watching Barefoot Friends because I wanted to see KHJ. In reality, he is a really likeable person, a team player and so funny. Comparing how he actually is in the reality show, BFF, you can definitely see his skill in acting in Inspiring Generation. He has matured from BOF days and is handsome as ever. Truly a heartthrob!!!
March 8th, 2014 at 9:32 pm
Great to see that the ratings are going up 🙂
March 9th, 2014 at 3:52 pm
What a relief to see the ratings is going up, fighting Inspiring Generation! 😀
March 10th, 2014 at 5:26 pm
I wonder what the relationship between Gaya and Jung Tae will be in the future episodes.
March 11th, 2014 at 12:48 am
I know jung tae is going to end up ok ryun but I want gaya for him.
March 12th, 2014 at 1:35 pm
Love to watch Kim Hyun Jung become so muscular and manly. He is one of the handsome actor.
Great drama…….
March 13th, 2014 at 2:16 am
Tonight’s episode just Awesome awesome awesome. The fighting scene is intensifying.
March 13th, 2014 at 4:18 am
Is Mo Il Hwa good or bad? Is he trying to protect Jung Tae? Or did his character change with the change in writer?
March 13th, 2014 at 10:08 pm
I really do hope that Jung tae will end up with Gaya. Because they were only the reason why i continue watching this drama. They looked good together on-screen.
March 14th, 2014 at 3:50 pm
I haven’t seen this drama, I just read all theses threads every day.. And I think, I have the same feeling with #223 JLA too :D. Jung tae n gaya….
March 17th, 2014 at 11:17 pm
What happened again with the rating 🙁
March 17th, 2014 at 11:18 pm
I dont really care and concern with the rating, for me IG is really worth to see .. i enjoy all the episodes and the casts.
March 17th, 2014 at 11:20 pm
I just hope that IG gets appreciated nicely bcos IG wel deserved the attention and interest
March 17th, 2014 at 11:22 pm
I just wish and hope that nothing unpleasant effect KHJ. I hope that if there is any criticism it meant for good and supporting as well as motivating.
March 17th, 2014 at 11:24 pm
KHJ you did good and amazing, a fan or not a fan said. You really did great with this serial. You have improved significantly and fantastically
March 17th, 2014 at 11:26 pm
Finally, the amazing guys jae hwa and leader mo teams up with jung tae. Cant wait for next episode. Not only japanese enemies but jung tae has his fellow nations enemies as well as former love.
March 17th, 2014 at 11:29 pm
Snow … mo ill hwa is a good guy. He finally is in jung tae’s side to fight for humanism and independence from poverty, abuse, starve and many more. To me personally the changing of the writer gives live to the episodes and it did well.
March 20th, 2014 at 4:50 pm
This has truly been a great show t follow. KHJ’s acting has improved drastically which is nice to see him growing into more of a manly character and not so much the flower boy. I’m with Savannah, Mo Ill Hwa is on Jung Tae’s side, which is why he spent all that time trainig him prior to both of them going to Shanghi. Cani’t wait for the next ones!!!
March 21st, 2014 at 12:51 am
Shanna, i totally agree with you, this is a great show to follow and khj acting is improving significantly
March 21st, 2014 at 12:51 am
Greeting to you and hello shanna …
March 21st, 2014 at 12:53 am
It is nice having forum discussion with people with similar opinion and likes…
March 21st, 2014 at 1:42 am
Going near to the last 4 episodes … the thrill is so intense. Whom will accompany jung tae for the fighting of evil .. at least i have faith that leader mo will be a loyal partner to jung tae … who is next side by side fighting for independence
March 21st, 2014 at 1:42 am
A bit disapointment with the leaving going away of jae hwa … why did he do that
March 21st, 2014 at 1:45 am
The fighting scene in IG is refreshing and interesting. Each time jung tae’s skill were tested he will show different type of fighting. Fans can have a look at it, i finally get a grisp of it when he fought jae hwa, he shows type of boxing fighting
March 21st, 2014 at 1:46 am
Big thumb of for the director and writer for showing interesting fighting scene
March 21st, 2014 at 1:47 am
I cant wait for tomorrow morning for viki to complete the eng sub. It is so nerve wrecking watching IG with jung tae
March 22nd, 2014 at 12:36 pm
Savannah, I to love, love this show. Love JT!
March 23rd, 2014 at 3:26 am
I have a feeling that jung tae and ok ryun will end up together and gaya will be alone. But I really hope gaya will end up with aoki. I prefer aoki for gaya eventhough he is such a badass.
March 25th, 2014 at 3:00 pm
reindeer … Yeaaaah we both love the show too and plus our man JT – KHJ
March 25th, 2014 at 3:00 pm
reindeer … welcome too and annyeong
March 25th, 2014 at 3:01 pm
a day to go to see my one and only namja Hyun Joongssi in Inspiring Generation as Jung Tae
March 25th, 2014 at 3:05 pm
Jung tae … when you love, you love for real. you are a daring and real man. I love your role in IG. You act without thinking, you are such a hero that you don’t have any fear at all, you fight with confident and you are just awesome.
March 25th, 2014 at 3:06 pm
4 episodes to go … with you as a lead star, time passes by fast and episode thru episodes just go quickly … I want more of Jung Tae … I want more of IG (as long as there is Jung tae in it), I want more of Hyun Joongssi.
March 25th, 2014 at 6:51 pm
Nice to see people are anticipating..KMJ JSE fighting 🙂
March 27th, 2014 at 1:50 pm
Last night episode blew my mind … an epic story.
Jung tae just amaze me over and over again.
Kim Hyun Joongssi is unbelievable, amazing, spectacular, magnificent.
His charisma shines brightly.
March 27th, 2014 at 1:52 pm
Kim Hyun Joong acting as Shin Jung Tae was like he portraits himself in this drama. I believe everything he said and the way he spoke to his fellowmen to encourage their spirit, patriotism and nationalism blew my mind. His words are real and his expression is flawless.
I was so happy and excited to see him talking while I felt different by the time Aoki did almost the same as Jung Tae.
March 27th, 2014 at 1:53 pm
Last night story was unexpected with a little twist and personally I think the writer did an awesome job with the plot.
March 27th, 2014 at 1:55 pm
Some says that Jung Tae did a stupid thing by saving Ok Ryeon but he did it out of sincerity and love and I don’t see any wrong in that. A man who is capable in loving a woman with all of his heart, mind, body and soul worth a big two thumbs up and appreciation. In fact, I envy Ok Ryeon to be able to have that such beautiful love from Jung Tae.
March 27th, 2014 at 1:58 pm
Last night episode proofs how Ok Ryeon worthy of having Jung Tae love. She acts cleverly during the fight of Jung Tae and Wang Baek San. and the way she protects jung tae by saying that her drawing of hwangbang area was only an act of an unwillingness to be a hostage. How sweet and pure her love is to Jung Tae. She deserves every bit of Jung Tae love, affection and attention. Although she’s knowing nothing about fighting and she tends to look so fragile but inside she’s a strong willed and minded woman.
March 27th, 2014 at 2:01 pm
I love the fact that Jung Tae appreciates Ok Ryeon love and his love toward her by effortless respond toward Gaya’s kissing.
He did that out of respect and kind knowing that Gaya did was in his heart a long time ago and that now for Jung Tae, Gaya is someone that resemble him a lot in terms of the hardship of live.
March 27th, 2014 at 2:03 pm
Jung Tae nevertheless is a gentleman and a great man. The chemistry of bromance with Leader Mo also capture my attention. Though Jae Hwa is away but he still has his right man, Leader Mo by his side.
I hope there is a twist that Jae Hwa will comeback and decide to help out Jung Tae and Bangsamtong as well as Leader Mo.
March 27th, 2014 at 2:05 pm
This drama is fantastic. I love Inspiring Generation. I’m so in love with Jung Tae and Kim Hyun Joong.
Inspiring Generation is fabulous drama with an interesting and great storyline, as well as character and scenes.
I just hope that people aware of that.
Ratings don’t define a great and worthy drama.
Ratings is bias mostly.
March 27th, 2014 at 2:07 pm
I care less for other drama while IG is played. I stick to IG and faithfully waiting and rooting for it.
IG is a complete package drama.
IG, fighting.
Jung Tae, fighting.
Leader Mo, fighting.
Jae Hwa, jaebal torawa.
Kim Hyun Joongssi, fighting.
Hyun Joongssi, you deserves an award for best actor 🙂
March 27th, 2014 at 2:10 pm
Anticipating for tonight’s episode.
3 episodes to go and Hyun Joongssi acting is Miraculously amazing and growing to perfection. Keep up the good work Hyun Joongssi, and please please be in more drama. Your acting is unique in a great way. No one can imitate you and your acting.
March 27th, 2014 at 2:12 pm
Your fighting acting also feels and looks so real. Acting, singing and modeling is in your blood.
You are a Galjo, a walking sculpture. A symbol of handsomeness and perfection of a man.
March 27th, 2014 at 2:18 pm
Last night episode, I heard his voice, his beautiful and fabulous voice. Did I heard it for real or is it simply bcos i’m so into him or daydreaming at night? I’m pretty sure that it was his voice, I know his voice so well and that his voice is recognizable. Did he do OST for IG?? Soooooo in love.
The song also nice to hear, captivating … all the song need is a MV to it, with Jung Tae in it ….. I’m a Jung Tae forever.
March 27th, 2014 at 3:30 pm
@savannah: if i can ask sjt, i’ll ask him to marry you! you’re such a good supporter for this series. i like this too! cheers!
March 27th, 2014 at 5:41 pm
Tigerb … yes, pleassseee tell him to marry me to love me too as much as he loves Ok Ryeon and even more 🙂
I will support him endlessly and IG too.
Yeaaaah, you like it too 🙂 happy to hear that.
Thank you and cheers.
March 28th, 2014 at 7:53 pm
savannah, where have all the others gone? it’s just you and me now?
in ep28, sjt is engaged to ok. i think in the next 2 episodes, ok will take the drug prepared for sjt to die, and if so, you’ll have your chance! lol!
March 28th, 2014 at 7:54 pm
oooppps, i mean ep 22, not 28.
March 30th, 2014 at 8:38 am
Have you notice all the people leaving this drama????OMG…and what about all the people diying for no reason at all……it is because there is no money to paid actors….OMG…OMG OMG….
March 30th, 2014 at 3:56 pm
veryyyyyy good drama this is more action but i like it so much
March 30th, 2014 at 4:01 pm
i do not why people like the heirs or you who came from the star i think this is very better than of them
March 30th, 2014 at 6:34 pm
definitely people have different tastes. i watched heirs to find out if the actor i liked in a different drama could deliver, and needlessly commented on it; i watched the alien drama for the same reason, and did not comment on it except that i finished watching that drama, not totally a waste of my time since that was the first korean drama i watched with alien in it and i wanted to find out too how the writing fared, which to me was a so-so, although the ratings were very high. i watch this drama because of the leading man, and like how the story goes. as to why the previous people who commented disappear, no se!
March 30th, 2014 at 7:18 pm
Sahar, i think the same thing as you. IG is way better than some you’ve said, but people have different kind of taste and likes so let them be
March 30th, 2014 at 7:19 pm
Sahar .. to like IG means you have a reallh good taste … cheers
March 30th, 2014 at 7:21 pm
Tiger … nice to see you again. I dunno the reason behind people leaving this forum. They certainly have their own reason. I like to think that they are attached with some personal errands.
March 30th, 2014 at 7:24 pm
Tiger i do not wish for ok ryeon to die in the next episode. She belongs to jung tae and she has every right to be jung tae woman. While my self belongs to hyun joongssi as much as he belongs to me …. oooh day dreaming fantasy in the sunny hot day 🙂
March 30th, 2014 at 7:29 pm
Hi carmen, there are not much people leaving the drame. Should they are no longer in the drama it is merely bcos their existence in the story should be ended due to no correlation and scene needed. Shinichi should have been diceased, it is his time to leave the episode bcos with his rebellion act to denkai there is no point to stay alive. Jae hwa leaving bcos it has been his dream and ambition to be the owner of bangsamtong and shanghai and to fail hurts his pride. So the leavinv of some character it is merely bcos of the need to grow the storyline
March 30th, 2014 at 7:31 pm
Sahel … good choice n decision to like this drama. It is worth it to like IG.
March 30th, 2014 at 7:33 pm
2 episodes more to go. So curious of how the drama ends. I just hope that it is a happy ending for jung tae. He deserved alll the happiness 🙂
March 31st, 2014 at 12:59 am
will the fate of kim ok ryeon same as mok dan (gaksital)?
April 2nd, 2014 at 8:46 am
I ship Jung Tae and Gaya too!!
April 2nd, 2014 at 2:46 pm
Pickefoo … i dont think that ok ryeon fate will be like mok dan. I still believe a happy ending for jung tae and ok ryeon
April 2nd, 2014 at 2:48 pm
Gaya will end up with aoki. She’ ll finally found out that her heart has been touched by aoki’s sacrifice especially risking his life for her. Both of them will be outcast.
April 2nd, 2014 at 2:50 pm
As jung tae and ok ryeon will be married and live happily ever after. I ship jung tae and ok ryeon, they look so good together. A total match.
April 2nd, 2014 at 2:56 pm
I have seen the preview. As i said before jae hwa returns but i dont know whether he will fught with jung tae or in the contrary. And this is what i want to see the most, jung tae put a sword in wang baek san and hopefully put an end to it
April 2nd, 2014 at 2:58 pm
But my jung tae cried and in deep emotions, will it be bcos of ok ryeon or the truth about his long lost sister. Please not ok ryeon … nooo. I hear gaya said something about love tojung tae … no way, this cant be.
April 2nd, 2014 at 4:35 pm
@savannah: you’re the ever faithful fan of this drama. i don’t want to dampen your hopes as to the ending of the series, so, que sera, sera! i hope you shall be smiling tomorrow! cheers!
April 2nd, 2014 at 5:39 pm
Tigerb … i do i do the ever faithful fan ti the drama, to jung tae and jung tae ok ryeon. I hope my prediction is true and i will be smiling for sure …
I dont want it to end … 🙂
April 2nd, 2014 at 5:40 pm
Tigerb ….
April 2nd, 2014 at 10:26 pm
This is it ladies n gentlemen … tonight.is the night of anticipation and curiosity.
April 2nd, 2014 at 10:28 pm
Shin jung tae … may you live a life with full of happiness, success and love be showered upon you. Same thing goes to kim hyun joongssi, i wish.
April 2nd, 2014 at 10:29 pm
Lots of love and support from me to you hyun joongssi.
April 2nd, 2014 at 10:30 pm
Hopefully i and many other will be able to see your next project soon. Cant wait for it. You will always be wanted and waited.
April 2nd, 2014 at 10:32 pm
Inspiring generation ruled … jung the remarkable warrior n hyun joongssi the forever handsome and charismatic, forever greatness.
April 3rd, 2014 at 2:05 am
This is the ever first time i dislike IG and dislike the writer. I take back my kudos to thr writer. Though tonight episode expose how great hyun joong acting is … tears running down whenever he cried, his acting is superb, his gesture and expression is flawless but the fact that ok ryeon died, bring coldness to IG.
April 3rd, 2014 at 2:09 am
Writer of IG … breaking up two people in love and separate their workd is really not cool at all. Ok ryeon has the purest love over jung tae .. her sacrification to jung tae is countless and yet you made her die. I have claim my self to be IG fanatic fans and sad to say that i kinda regret it after seeing ep 23 and by the death of ok ryeon.
April 3rd, 2014 at 2:10 am
What will happen with my dearest jung tae … he is so sad and heart breaking yet he cant mourn bcos he still has to fight for bangsamtong …
April 3rd, 2014 at 2:11 am
Poor jung tae …
April 3rd, 2014 at 2:13 am
Last episode you might be survive and live alone, or you might be deceased or end up with gaya. Either way i no longer have excitement to watch and expect in last episode.
April 3rd, 2014 at 2:16 am
Im disapointed with the writer …
Peeps, i guess this is my last chats in IG forum, no more since i have lose interest to it. Hyun joongssi made me watch IG and i will always watch hyun joong drama whatever the ending going to be.
April 3rd, 2014 at 2:17 am
Annyeong peeps and friends,
See you again in the next forum of hyun joongssi drama.
April 3rd, 2014 at 1:39 pm
Jung Tae’s true love is Gaya. His feeling for Ok Ryeon is more on sisterly and out of responsibility. From the very beginning, I rooted for Gaya and Jung Tae. Although enemies, they are still helping each other.
April 3rd, 2014 at 5:46 pm
i able to see your next project very soon kim hyun joong pleaaaaaaase
April 3rd, 2014 at 6:45 pm
@savannah: am sorry you took it so hard, i was kind of warning you what will happen in ep 23. don’t take it too badly, it’s just a drama, and look forward to khj and jsy future projects. take care.
April 3rd, 2014 at 6:52 pm
SHUT UP @SAVANNAH YOUR PREDICTIONS WILL MAKE THE SHOW STUPID, IDIOT!!!
April 3rd, 2014 at 6:53 pm
I AM RELIEF THAT OK RYEON DIED SHE WAS A PAIN IN THE BUTT!
April 3rd, 2014 at 7:01 pm
SAVANNAH THEY HAD A GOOD WRITER, I CAN OBVIOUSLY TELL YOU ARE IMMATURE AND YOUNG TO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT TRULY HAPPEN. PLUS IF THEY NEVER HAD ANY CAST MEMBERS TO DROP OUT OK RYEON WOULDN’T BE WITH JUNG TAE, SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN WITH THE GUY THAT SHE MET IN THE STUDIO. I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU WOULD BE AN IDIOT TO WANT A HAPPY ENDING. WATCH OTHER SHOWS THERE ARE PLENTY MORE OUT THERE, OR JUST WATCH A DISNEY MOVIE. ALL YOU TRULY WANT TO SEE WAS JUNG TAE MAKE OUT WITH ANY RANDOM PRETTY GIRL AND CALL IT A DAY. GOSH, WHY DO IDIOTS HAVE TO BE HERE?!
April 3rd, 2014 at 10:58 pm
I am liking how the story is turning out to be. Although it was really really sad to see OK die. Still waiting for the final episode. Hope Jung Tae finds his sister and gets united with Gaya. I have not heard the full OST of KHJ. But from whatever was presented in the drama, it sounded great
April 3rd, 2014 at 11:01 pm
Somebody must have mistaken this thread for Twitter.
April 4th, 2014 at 12:04 am
agree on Snow.. ^^
April 4th, 2014 at 12:07 am
well at least there’s a little bit sad emotion and heart break. 🙁
April 4th, 2014 at 2:14 am
Cant help to say something about the ending. The writer at least put a proper ending, i like how the ending turn out to be. Jung tae finally find chung ah and not with gaya. Gaya just as i predict ends up with aoki. The writer put everything in order and as should be
April 4th, 2014 at 2:17 am
Who says first love is forevere. When there is a first in life then it sure be two .. third and so on. Soulmate is forever and jung tae soulmate is ok ryeon. If he loves gaya still then he will make it work but he didnt, his heart is for ok ryeon.
April 4th, 2014 at 2:19 am
I dont mind and never mind about different opinions, ideas and appreciate people preferences and lets respect differences and communicates it in an educated and respectful manner.
April 4th, 2014 at 2:23 am
Let’s respect each others comments … do not attack other just bcos they hold different opinions. This is not a war but a forum of chat n discussion. Should they treat this forum as a thread or twittter, let’s respect it and let them be.
April 4th, 2014 at 2:26 am
KHJ ost is wonderful. His voice sounds really great and the rhythm as well. His huskiness made the song ache.
April 4th, 2014 at 2:28 am
IG final episode tonight and ends their 24 episodes. I will miss IG and jung tae and hyun joong for sure. Overall it is a great drama, i was mesmerized and captivated from first till the end except for episode 23. Hope to see hyun joong again soon in another drama.
April 4th, 2014 at 2:32 am
Tigerb .. your last comment abt not having high hope with the ending especially ok ryeon n jung tae future, that is like a vision of how i will be disapointed with the ending. Yes, you are right, i dislike it. The truth can be hurt sometimes. Anyway, thanks for your heads up, at least you are polite n kind with your comments. I appreciate it.
April 4th, 2014 at 2:33 am
Looking forward to see you again in the next drama of hyun joongssi forum … tigerb.
April 4th, 2014 at 12:56 pm
its the fight scenes that i love.. the best! waiting for another drama of
Im Soo Hyang, hoping for lead female role.. haha.. ^^
April 4th, 2014 at 3:22 pm
a little bit disappointed.. 🙁
April 4th, 2014 at 4:17 pm
The ending is good, unlike some of the dramas lately.
April 4th, 2014 at 4:18 pm
Loved it.
April 4th, 2014 at 8:37 pm
@savannah: i’m glad you’re up and about! i liked the ending of this series, and yes, i look forward to khj’s next project. now that he has shown his prowess as an action star, i wish that ‘city conquest’ would push through. i saw the first episode at ‘you tube’ and i liked it then. will meet you in some other forum ta! ta!
April 4th, 2014 at 10:58 pm
although not my principle, revenge is sweet! that’s what i found the ‘inspiring generation’ claimed towards the end of the series. The younger set of the bamsangtong people who were refugee koreans in shanghai suffered and endured the treatment given to lowly refugees by the different chinese gangs in that area. not only that, they were also targeted by the ‘sleeper’ Japanese gang. shin jung tae, the young korean refugee, became their leader after proving his fighting prowess. he unknowingly followed the footsteps of his father who wanted freedom for bamsangtong from oppression. the father was considered a hero by his people, but he succumbed to the head of the leading chinese gang who would not stand of the elder shin’s becoming power and success. sjt at first hated his absent father, but having lost his family, he learned to fight to survive, earning friends from unexpected places, learning and improving his fighting skills, helping his underdog countrymen, and soon learned and appreciated what his father stood for. khj proved that he can be an action star, but with a quiet demeanor. the younger sjt was also very good. i was surprised with kim song oh as i saw him mostly in comedic roles, he was very good too, and so with song jae rim. i was first bothered with the violence but that’s what gangland life is all about, specially in those times. it’s a very good watch!
April 5th, 2014 at 12:36 am
@tigerb, im having a nice time always chatting with you in this forum. I agree with you about city conquest, khj looks fierce and handsome. I hope city conquest also has an opportunity to be shown. There is a scene in city conquest that is quite similar with IG. The temple scene, it caught me. Anyway, thanks for the support and hope to see you again in the forum.
April 5th, 2014 at 12:55 am
24 episodes of inspiring generation worth to be seen and worth the admiration and appreciation. It touches you with morality, patriotisme, love, kindness, friendship, criminality, ambition and so on. There is irony too when leader bang joo of hwangbang haa the heart of killing everyone but so scared of losing ran ran his grand daughter. Blood is thicker than anything, a complete irony and his ending serves him well. People tend to think that jung tae is naive and silly at times but jung tae shows how kindness and love create peace in the world. No good comes in a war. Aoki said how many lifes jung tae had … well aoki he has tons and billion lifes bcos good people die hard. He finally find his long lost sistar and live in peace and perhaps happiness. True love is forever and his true love remains in his heart though separated by death.
April 5th, 2014 at 12:58 am
I will certainly miss inspiring generation, miss jung tae, miss jae hwa and leader mo. Above all, miss khj the most. His song is addictive and i fell in love over and over again with his voice. Looking forward for the music videos. Nomu nomu saranghae hyun joongssi. Jaebak haengbokajo.
April 5th, 2014 at 1:22 am
I love inspiring generation <3 Hyun Joong u done a great job ^^ looking forward to ur future project 😀
April 6th, 2014 at 2:34 am
Excellent drama with KHJ’s outstanding performance in Inspiring Generation. In my opinion, OK Ryeon since she was young, always stood by Jung Tae. He was first obligated to her because she took care of Chung Ah and nursed him back to health after his fist fights.
I feel his true soul mate is Gaya. They were attracted to each other the first time they met. Her last kiss with him and as they said goodbye at the end, how they looked at each other as the OST was piped in to the episode. There was so much pain, sadness and love in their eyes. Gaya loved SJT deeply and protected him. Thought he loved her, he knew it could never be because of his obligations to his people at that time. He loves her yet he hates her. I believe that was true love for them and that had more fire than his love for OR.
April 8th, 2014 at 7:32 pm
finally i’m finished watching..and i like the ending..altought sjt and gaya can’t being together as their fated..sjt and gaya still loving each others..
nice drama..i love it
April 8th, 2014 at 7:35 pm
i will be happier if gaya and aoki together.. 😀
April 9th, 2014 at 2:56 am
I am so dissapointed that they killed Ok Ryeon . I cried so much and i never did that before. But i know that from the beginning that she would died. Ugh … it just sad that it makes me angry x(
April 12th, 2014 at 4:15 pm
sad but nice ending…good story, worth it to watch !!
tq for produce good fighter drama, see u Kim Hyun Joong, be the best ;))
April 17th, 2014 at 11:33 pm
Help me to decide, should I watch this drama? Is it worth watching or not?:) Hope for a response
April 18th, 2014 at 2:35 pm
I’m still happy even jung tae and gaya didn’t end up together because at the end of the drama, it showed that they really love each other. They really are SOULMATES.
Hoping for a second season. And continue Jung Tae and Gaya’s love story. Because Gaya was never been happy in season I.
April 18th, 2014 at 9:10 pm
@rm018: hi! i see your posts at ‘the heirs’ and you obviously like that kind of drama, so ‘inspiring generation’ may not be your cup of tea. i have posts in ‘the heirs’ and here. i like this series because the story is about people wanting to survive in the midst of adversity in a foreign land. maybe this is the first korean drama i’ve watched with that plot, that’s why i like it. but if i were you, i’d give it a shot and watch a few episodes. you can always stop when you find it doesn’t suit your taste. happy viewing!
May 7th, 2014 at 3:12 pm
This is really one of the BEST Action tele-drama i have watched! it is intelligently written. characters were all played very well by the actors! the fight scenes were brilliantly choreographed.
the unfolding plot of the story was cleverly developed and interestingly held at every minute of all the scenes.
the admire most the MORAL and the historical educational value it brought even if it’s a fictional in nature!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! More Power!!! GOD Speed . . . ! ! !
May 15th, 2014 at 1:43 pm
Pregunta en que capitulo pelean Gaya y Shin jung Tae…. es que vi un making de la pelea pero quiero ver el episodio…Ayuda

May 27th, 2014 at 6:00 pm
Okay so it’s been about 2 weeks since I finished this drama but boy I must say..it’s one of the best (if not top 5) dramas I’ve watched! Non stop action packed with one of the best looking cast, along with an edge of your seat love story (who’s best paired with KHJ)..I must admit KHJ did wonderful in this series.
May 28th, 2014 at 4:07 am
Its basoulty the best drama u have ever watched
May 28th, 2014 at 4:10 am

July 6th, 2014 at 3:14 pm

Gaya is best with aoki………
August 31st, 2014 at 7:12 pm
Excellent drama with KHJ’s outstanding performance in Inspiring Generation. In my opinion, OK Ryeon since she was young, always stood by Jung Tae. He was first obligated to her because she took care of Chung Ah and nursed him back to health after his fist fights.
I feel his true soul mate is Gaya. They were attracted to each other the first time they met. Her last kiss with him and as they said goodbye at the end, how they looked at each other as the OST was piped in to the episode. There was so much pain, sadness and love in their eyes. Gaya loved SJT deeply and protected him. Thought he loved her, he knew it could never be because of his obligations to his people at that time. He loves her yet he hates her. I believe that was true love for them and that had more fire than his love for OR.

@rian #346: speak up your own mind and do not copy other people’s writings. it’s very obvious you copied what ‘mary cha’ said in 326.

I’m a big fan of martial art which the chinese have shown to be a master of in their movies but the plot in most of their dramas I have watched leaves a lot to be desired, however korean dramas are full of well crafted plots with poorly choreographed fight scenes which is where Inspiring Generation has done well, great plot, fascinating martial art. I think other korean directors should invest just as much as they put into plot development as they do in fight choreography to generate the best possible end product of a drama

not worthy win the koreandrama.org’s award
December 6th, 2014 at 6:01 am
Is it that good to win the poll ?
December 6th, 2014 at 3:01 pm
this series has a lot better plot than ‘the heirs’ of last year, which i found not worthy of the award either. let’s see the outcome at the end of this month!
December 6th, 2014 at 3:45 pm
@maida
of course not. aigooo popular cast always won anything although the story “ordinary”. both heirs and inspiring generation not worthy won the poll!!!
December 7th, 2014 at 2:56 am
uno de los mejores doramas que he visto en lo que llevo de conocer la cultura de corea y su arte y mas cuando se trata de ver a kim hyun joong
December 8th, 2014 at 8:14 am
How is this the best drama of the year….i am so confused……
December 8th, 2014 at 4:32 pm
@kumbi: although not comparable in so many ways. ‘the godfather’ (u.s.) was an oscar best picture awardee. it had a lot of violence, so does this series. to me, this series has a good plot and story. try watching it before the month end and judge for yourself.
December 9th, 2014 at 2:18 am
Why is this drama winning for best drama of the year?, it’s not a bad drama, but it’s not the best or even one of the best this year in my opinion, i mean seriously the best of the year? no way. oh well, what can I expect when last year the award went to Heirs and in 2010 the award went to Mary Stayed Out All Night in a year when we have other much better dramas. I guess when you have a drama starring an idol or very young actor/actresses with tons of fans to vote for them, all other dramas stayed way behind in votes, too bad, at the same time I don’t want YWCFS to win either, I guess I’m in the minority because I didn’t like that drama at all, my favorite dramas hardly ever win anything in any of this kinds of polls from different websites anyway.
December 9th, 2014 at 5:19 pm
@pam: what i learned since i started to watch korean dramas so far is that this kind of polls are voted off by fans, so the criteria for what is best is very relative, like you said, based on the idols who starred in the dramas. there’s no objectivity, no rules, etc. if you did not agree with the winners of years 2010 and 2013, how about the other years since 2009? was there really ‘best’ among them?i agree with you that this series may not be the best, but what is ‘best’?
December 11th, 2014 at 1:50 am
inspiring Generation it’s excelent! Photograph, decoration, and trama. I like do much
December 13th, 2014 at 12:19 am
love this drama!! it’s an excelent story!! I’m glad to see Inspiring Generation at the top!! ^^ love Kim Hyun Joong too!
December 13th, 2014 at 7:11 pm
I can’t believe it this drama is leading for the Best Korean drama on this SITE……………….. This drama is such a mess……….. seriously people what’s wrong with you???? Only because there are nice faces????
Ok i admit i was highly anticipating this drama and i watched it when it aired……… and i was totally disappointed!! There are only fights and fights and more fights………. nothing good comes from watching it…….. It is really unfair that this drama is leading on this site, when on other sites people don’t take it into consideration at all…………..
Such a disappointment!!!!!
December 15th, 2014 at 11:58 am
I’m so surprised that this drama is the leading for the Best Korean Drama…
December 16th, 2014 at 10:02 am
I love this Drama 🙂
December 18th, 2014 at 4:57 pm
this drama is the best i m so happy that this drama is the leading for the Best Korean Drama…
December 20th, 2014 at 9:40 am
Well, it’s not an ordinary Korean drama. I love it for its varied and impressive characteristics of different characters and the complicated relationship among people and among factions. Especially, I like kaya and I feel sad for the love story between JongTae and her.
December 23rd, 2014 at 7:00 pm
I like this Drama .

@admin: will you put on pdf file a list of the countries that voted for ‘inspiring generation’ in the final round? just want to know who are those who really appreciated this series. i did.
(@tigerb from admin: we don’t have this type of statistic, but we need to count it manually. sorry about that.)
January 1st, 2015 at 10:13 pm
HAHAHA BOOOYAH! I even dont know this drama was exist. Shocked enough!!!! Omg KHJ, JSY i dont like both (no offence) but i always appreciate their work.
I wanna try one shoot of episode but from the rating and viewer comments so ugghh 🙀
Always success for koreandrama(dot)net! Cheers!✌✌
January 3rd, 2015 at 6:51 am
the best drama i’ts master’s sun it’s much better than the heirs
January 4th, 2015 at 4:31 am
@melleoumaima
totally agreeeeeeeeee with you
January 5th, 2015 at 10:34 pm
Inspiring Generation <3
January 16th, 2015 at 8:48 am
Please, any other drama but this!
Who votes for a drama with a lead that beats the sh*t out of a woman at least twice in real life? Her injuries were so severe that she had to be treated in hospital. Seriously, did everybody forget what KHJ had done to his girlfriend just couple of months ago? His fighting skills are not only used for acting. That’s for sure. How can anyone watch IG knowing this?
To vote for this drama or to supoort this “oppa” in anything is supporting men hitting women!!!!!!!!!
January 22nd, 2015 at 9:32 pm
this is Not the the best drama in 2014.
people who vote this you don’t know the best korean drama.
you see only the handsome face of the main actor KHJ,not the story.
i watched this drama but the story is not good anymore especially to the young people who watched this they learned to fight and fight.
and this second time around you voted the wrong decision like in 2013 heirs is number 1.OMG!!Many people in these world are blind and stupid.
im sorry but im telling the truth.
January 22nd, 2015 at 10:11 pm
Please. say me. Where can i watch drama in english language?
January 29th, 2015 at 2:53 pm
Inspiring Generation? Best Korean drama? NEVER heard of it and won’t be watching. HEALER is the BEST Korean drama but since it’s not finished it won’t rate I guess. Koreans have it too good with all these dramas. They’re too spoiled to know the difference on what good what isn’t. We’re stuck with American crap so I would know better.
January 29th, 2015 at 2:54 pm
Now I know I won’t be watching this dramas. I HATE 1930’s stories!
March 12th, 2015 at 8:29 pm
to each his own!!!
April 2nd, 2015 at 6:17 pm
never watched it bt i would go with…you who came from the stars
April 13th, 2015 at 3:02 am
i wanted to watch this drama becoz of Song Jae Rim.
When I know the leading actress is Jin Se Yun – I was so disappointed. I first saw her in Dr Stranger and thinking she is the 2nd female lead.
I stop halfway in Dr Stranger after viewers mention that Lee Jong Suk ends up with Jin Se Yun instead of Kang So Ra which all along i thought she is the leading actress (prettier, kind hearted and smart – KSR is a good actress)
May 11th, 2015 at 11:26 pm
I think this drama is cool and things don’t always end the way we expect them to be.Its ok how it ends and I think Gaya and Tae jun really love each other.Have always preferred them together and I think Ok Ryeon is more like a sister but the movie is cool that’s all I can say and to one of the comment above about KHJ hitting his gf,he did apologize and the girl did forgive him then why should we use that against him.He was sober and apologized.I think you should learn how to forgive and forget.
June 15th, 2015 at 3:31 am
This drama cannot be the best drama in 2014, at least according to Korean audience, “You who come from the star” get almost 3 times the rating at the last episode. Rating is not everything but this web site allow the same person to vote for the same drama once every day, I think it is extremely bias by fans of certain actor or actress. Most normal casual audience won’t do that. Only drama played by actor / actress with devoted fans can win, regardless of the quality of the show.
June 24th, 2015 at 8:32 am
i watched it until the very end… and i keep wondering some things in this drama that are bothering my mind, like where is the Kim So Ok and the rest of the characters (other than Ok Ryon and her mother) after runaway using the boat? where do the Dobi nori gang go? who the fuck is the old-man (soothsayer) that Shin Jung Tae’s father often meet? who the hell is the character appear in the last right side of the poster? what happen to Shin Jung Tae after the Poongcha’s death and how did he just get so strong after that? what is the real background of Gaya’s father? is he also people in Bosamtang? (somebody help me with all these question!!)
in the end i know that since the writer is changed, some characters need to be dropped out…. and that is what makes the first 10 episodes are different with the rest… the story gets the other feeling and totally different sense to feel…
February 5th, 2016 at 3:20 pm
I think this drama full action and good drama , maybe for the story not too good, but for all, is good to watching.KHJ perform different acting before And about personal life KHJ, actor is human too, have life privacy. Don’t judge people by the cover, you don’t know how his life, and we watch drama to see how good the story, good acting, and good ending. Not to see personal life of the actor. So for whose judging this movie by KHJ personal life, GROW UP, LIVE IT.
August 12th, 2016 at 5:46 pm
I didn’t expected the ending. But it was better ending for me than kHJ end up with JSY, i mean JSY is good actress but she just doesn’t look right with KHJ. ISH is far better for KHJ in my opinion. I actually finish this drama just because iam waiting moment KHJ and ISH end up together. So yeah, whatever
April 11th, 2020 at 11:38 am
I watched his drama a dozen times & I LOVE IT! It’s not only full of action but the story is unbelievably awesome, heavy drama. Kim Hyun Joong is a multitalented individual. He proved himself his best not only in singing but in acting too! He deserves to get an award in this drama as the BEST ACTOR & the drama itself is OUTSTANDING!
the person who made a comment about Kim Hyun Joong’s personal life… before you judge, know the facts first. That scorned woman/ex-gf fabricated the accusations just to blackmail him. Based on the facts provided to the court, Kim Hyun Joong was never found guilty! A Scorned or a gold digger woman can do anything to ruin the person’s life out of anger or by just being a bitch. I feel bad for Kim Hyun Joong for being a victim of “blackmail”. I hope he learned a lesson of who he can really trust. The only BIG mistake he did is knowing & getting involved with Ms.Choi! Well… there’s always a learning experience & it’s a lesson learned!
