It has been argued that the screenplay of the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King" (director Jang Hang-joon) is similar to the scenario of the drama "Eomheungdo."

MBN reported on the 9th that certain scenes of "The Man Who Lives with the King" were claimed to be in large part consistent with the content of the scenario written for the production of "Eomheungdo" in 2000.

According to the bereaved family of the author who wrote the "Eom Heung-do" scenario, the setting in which Danjong, who is living in exile, shows satisfaction after eating at the recommendation of Eom Heung-do was dealt with at the core in both works.

In addition, the bereaved family said that Danjong in the movie ate Olgaengguk, and in the drama scenario, he ate buckwheat jelly and said, "I tried it when I was in the palace, it tastes good." It was also argued that Eom Heung-do's development method of delivering Danjong's words to villagers who made food on behalf of him was also similar.

The bereaved family explained, "[Danjong] refused to eat at first, but later became close to each other, and the scenes of 'Who caught this fish, tell them it was delicious' were so similar." In addition, Eom Heung-do's rescue of Danjong, who is trying to jump from the cliff, and Eom Heung-do's son is sent to the government office.

They argued that the setting of the characters in the work has similarities. In fact, the bereaved family argues that the fact that Danjong's court lady, who was several in history, was set as a single person named "Maehwa" and that Eom Heung-do's child, who was his third son, was the only son, are consistent with the adaptation in the drama scenario.

In response, the production company reportedly said, "The movie clearly has the original creator," and "I have never referred to or encountered other works in the planning or production process."

Meanwhile, "The Man Who Lives with the King" tells the story of Cheongryeongpo in 1457, a village chief who claimed to be exiled for the revival of the village, and a young predecessor who was expelled from the throne and exiled. The work exceeded 10 million viewers on the 6th.
