Finally made a decision.

As I said before I am going to re-write about a Korean historical person.
I finally decided who I am going to write about.
I am going to write about 'Ko Jong' who was the last king of Korea. The background will be between just before Japan invaded Korea and after. While he was the king of Korea, people often said that he was not a good king, and after Japan invaded Korea, they wanted make Korean blame their king for loosing country. That is why many people still think he didn't have a ability to protect the contury.
But other people think that he was not as bad as people nomally think.

I want to re-write about him with his point of view.

when you finish the rewrite, do you think you could write a paragraph or two to put in the beginning to give a broader historical context? maybe explain the state of the country before his reign, political tensions, anything like that. I know I'm not familiar with Korean history, and I'm sure there are others who aren't either. Otherwise, this sounds really cool. Good luck!

Hi
I think it is a good idea that you have chosen a topic from your country. It helps us to know more about your culture, tradition and so on. Moreover we will be familiar with your history as well. Finally, I’d like to say that I read a lot books about why and how Japan invaded Korea in Persian language, and more of them were translated from American or European writers.
I wish the best for you
