Emperor of the Sea

Emperor of the Sea
KBS 2005

Starring:

Gwong-book / Jang Bogo ~ Choi Soo Jong
Yeomjang ~ Song Il Gook
Jeong-hwa ~ Soon Ae
Madam Jami ~ Chae Si Rae

Synopsis:

Based on the life of a true historical figure, Emperor of the Sea is an epic Korean Drama based on a novel by author Choi In Ho. 

Jang Bo Go rises from a lowly slave to the military commander of the sea during the Unified Shilla Dynasty (676~935). Along the way, he battles pirates, and engages in a heated rivalry with Madam Jami, a Shilla noble who squares off against Jang Bo Go for trade rights in the South Sea.  Yeomjang is Jang Bo Go's charismatic comrade, who supports Jang in his ascension to The Emperor of the Sea. 

Review:

Very Good - This is a drama that has great balance between action and storyline - along with spectacular sets and costumes.  It's not rated excellent only because of the casting - Choi Soo Jong doesn't seem to be the best choice for Jang Bogo.
