Seo Dong Yo

Seo Dong Yo
SBS 2005

Starring:

Seo Dong ~ Jo Hyun Jae
Princess Seon Hwa ~ Lee Bo Young
Mok Ra Su ~ Lee Chang Hoon
Buyeo Seon ~ Kim Young Ho

Synopsis:

Before Romeo and Juliet and Chunhyang, there was Seo Dong and Seon Hwa. The fated love between Princess Seon Hwa of the Shilla kingdom and Seo Dong, the future King Mu of the Baekje kingdom, is a classic tale set in Shakespearean lore. It is immortalized in Seo Dong Yo, or "The Ballad of Seo Dong", an old Korean folk song that spread quickly through the palace and the country during the Shilla period. This age-old story now receives new life under Lee Byung Hoon, the man behind masterpieces like Dae Jang Geum and Hur Jun. With stars Jo Hyun Jae (Love Letter) and Lee Bo Young (Mr. Good-bye) on board, Seo Dong Yo promises to be as innovative and engaging as Lee's previous historical dramas.

Seo Dong (Jo Hyun Jae) is just a commoner, a technician who grew up in Baekje's prestigious Taehaksa Institute, but his life is on the brink of extraordinary change. His love for Shilla's Princess Seon Hwa (Lee Bo Young) transforms his life forever, and he carries a secret that could alter the fate of the Baekje kingdom. The 7-disc Volume 1 set features the first 21 episodes of Seo Dong Yo, which detail Seo Dong's childhood, his first meeting with Seon Hwa, and his maturation at Taehaksa.

The second volume of Seo Dong Yo ups the ante in terms of intrigue, with Seo Dong and Mok Ra Su (Lee Chang Hoon) fighting to keep the secret of Baekje's Crown Prince intact, and Satek Giru plotting with Buyeo Seon (Kim Young Ho) to disrupt their plans.
