Deep Rooted Tree

Six Flying Dragons (Korean: 육룡이 나르샤; RR: Yungnyongi nareusya) is a South Korean television series starring Yoo Ah-in, Kim Myung-min, Shin Se-kyung, Byun Yo-han, Yoon Kyun-sang and Chun Ho-jin.[3][4] It aired on SBS on Mondays and Tuesdays at 22:00 for 50 episodes beginning on October 5, 2015, as part of SBS 25th anniversary special.[5][unreliable source?][6] The drama serves as a loose prequel to Deep Rooted Tree.[7]

The Korean title of the series is in Old Korean. Nareusya is a native Korean word, which translates to nara oreuda (날아 오르다) or "soar up to the sky" in modern Korean. Thus, the literal translation of the title is "six dragons soaring up to the sky" (여섯 마리의 용이 날아오르셔서).[8]
