a.k.a. Prince of the Legend

Synopsis:
MBC's
hugely popular Jumong is the first of a wave of
Korean historical dramas dealing with the Goguryeo Dynasty
(approximately 37 BC-AD 668). Written by veteran Choi Wan
Gyu (Hur Jun, Sang Do, and All In)
and Jung Hyung Soo (Damo), Jumong is one of
Korea's most impressive and popular historical dramas. It
dominated television screens during its broadcast,
attracting viewership ratings of over 40% in Korea.
Jumong
is the name of the legendary founder of Goguryeo, King
Dongmyeongseong. The story starts with the conflict
between Gojoseon, an ancient Korean kingdom, and Han
Chinese forces, eventually leading to a fragmented Korean
Peninsula. Hero-in-the-making Jumong (Song Il Kook, Emperor
of the Sea) is born in this time of chaos and struggle
in the little independent state of Buyeo. He quickly finds
himself the most unlikely of princes and the victim of a
rivalry with his brother Dae So (Kim Seung Soo, A
Million Roses). He is forced to choose between the
boyish charm of young merchant So Seo No (Han Hye Jin; Be
Strong, Geum Soon!) and the innocent smile of Bu Yeong
(Im So Young), a servant he's known for years. Through
dangerous trials and painful lessons of the heart, Jumong
must rise to the occasion to unite the land and bring
peace to his people.
Review:
Excellent
- This
drama is movie quality. It's a thrilling show that
compares to Dae Jang Geum in it's ability to hook you.
A definite must watch, especially for men. If you
like Damo, the same people produced this show.
