Summary
The Last Princess of Shilla is a historical fantasy romance IP connecting 7th-century Shilla with Persia. Abtin, a Persian prince fleeing the fall of his kingdom, arrives in Shilla and meets Princess Frarang. Their encounter becomes more than an exotic love story; it draws two civilizations, two kingdoms, and two destinies into the shadow of war.
The story blends palace intrigue, exile, romance, political conflict, and the upheaval of the Shilla–Tang War. Abtin must survive as a stranger in a distant land, while Frarang must choose between royal duty and personal love. Built on the rare meeting of ancient Korea and Persia, the IP offers a fresh setting for the U.S. market. With its cross-cultural romance, war, conspiracy, and tragic separation, it has strong potential for a drama series, remake, co-development, and spin-off expansion.
