The Ballad of Suh Dong / Seo Dong Yo (SBS, 2005/6)

aka 서동요

Anyone watching this? It's so very intense and very gripping!!! It reminds me of Dae Jang Geum, except more love focused and the main character is a guy. =) If you liked Dae Jang Geum, I think you'd like this!

It's about Seo Dong, aka Jang, who is born the 4th prince of Baek Jae, but his birth came at an inconvenient time, so his mom had to run away and spend her life hiding. He does not know who his father is (thus, does not know he is prince), and he works to fulfill his mother's wish of 'becoming a great man' so he can one day meet his father. He meets the Sung Hwa Princess of Shilla, and they fall in love. Of course, there's the rival. There's much political play at work here in the drama, so it can get really confusing, especially for me who ... well, old-style Korean is not my forte. >_> And have trouble understanding. But, it's really really exciting, and it's my favorite drama this season. ^_^

Anyone else watching? ;o; please~?

I've only seen bits and pieces of this but it does look pretty good, and I usually hate all those old-time Korean dramas!

I wouldn't say its like Dae Jung Geum but yes I agree its great!

Ive been watching it weekly. LastWeek didn't have an episode though T_T. cursed Korean New Year Specials!! >_< But I will be getting an episode later today ^___________^.

At the current episode....almost everyone knows he's a prince though >_>. Seodong is going to end soon too T__T. ~cries~

This dynatsy is actually waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before Dae Jung Geum >_>, like the 4th century or something O_o. This is when Korea was still divided three ways. Dae Jung Geum is waaaaaaay after Wang gun. (The guy that made the three seperate areas into one big Korea Big Smile

)

here is something I posted elsewhere.

From the creators and makers from Dae Jang Geum comes
Seodong Yo also known as The Ballad of Seodong or Seodong's Song.

Cast:
Jo Hyeon-jae: who plays Prince Seo-dong. He was born as an illegitimate son of the Baekje's king but later became the 30th ruler of the Baekje kingdom.
Yi Bo-young: Princess Seon-hwa. She was born as the third daughter of the Shilla king, but was expelled from the palace because Seo-dong spread a scandalous song about her all over the kingdom. She married Seo-dong and helped her husband to be a good and wise king.
Ryu Jin: A Shilla noble man who loves the princess, named Kim Do-ham.
Yi Chang-hoon: A Baekje scientist, Mongna Su Pak sa, who raised Prince Seodong instead of his parents.
Jung Sun-gyoung: A teacher who seems like Lady Choi at first but later changes herself into a character like Lady Han.
===========================

The setting is some around the 4th or 6th Century >_> I don't remember...so in other words its waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay before Dae Jang Geum pinch

.

It's still airing in Korea...but according to my Mom, its going to be ending fairly soon. Episode 45 was recently released via Valentines Day ^^. Airs every Monday&Tuesday.

The story is lovely! I loves it ^______^.
The guy who plays seodong was also a main character in a another drama Kumiho Hwaejun. Which is a story about the ninetailed fox peoples.

Princess and her King ^^
