Jumong (MBC, 2006) historical drama

http://member.wayn.com/WujouMao

hi guys, i love korean drama and just finished watching emperor of the sea. currently im traveling across asia and been in S.korea for 3 weeks. just happened to switch the telly on this evening at 10pm and there was a rather bloody histrorical drama on. i cant really tell you what channel it was on because the same drama was on 3 differant channels. its just on one of MBC channels.

if anyone happened to know of it, or would like a re-cap, i'll just tell bits and bobs what happeded {i cant understand korean, so i cant tell you the peoples names] its set in China, and the japanese and korean's are there too. the king is sitting outside waiting for a bloody fight between his army guys in super strong invinceable armour and some peasents from the village. the peasents pick up the weapons and full full charge at the guys on horseback where they die quite quickly. the princess of daddy i think gets a bit upset to see ordinary folks die she asks them to stop. the kings gets angry and chucks her in jail

few scenes later this guy who resembles an old jang bogo with stragly hair attacks the army on the beach and the warriors on horseback with thick armour. while he is fighting he gets stabbed in the git by the army guys and falls in the river, where he is rescued by the priness. cant remember what happened after that, but i know he gets better

so does anyone happend to know what series i'm on about. i tried to look at some sort of name of the program at the end, but all it gave was a website which was www.1mbc.com. that was no use as it jumps to another page.

hope someone could shed some light on this drama. sorry if its been mentioned before in another thread. by all means merge the topics together if necessary.

Edit. if it help, too actors i reconise are in here. one played madam choi in Dae Jungguem and the other one was from Emperor of the sea. he was the bloke with the bald head, but here he has a full head of hair. i may be wrong tho, but he has the same facial expression

and while we are on the subject of historical dramas, has anyone heard of:-

Seo dong yo 서동곡
sindon 신돈
연개소문. i dont know the english name. you can see for yourself the clip on the main SBS main page.
http://tv.sbs.co.kr/ygsomun/ i cant read or understand korean so it might not be showing yet.

Yay, thats it. i was watching the telly for 2 hours before that, and each time i missed the trailers for the series. and my korean is next to useless so i was only able to write down the first character on paper before the trailer ended so i waited tell 10pm but was channel hopping and was on the wrong channel for 5 mins lol.

well thankfully i took a snap at the end hoping to give me a clue. it really does say www.1mbc.com. i'll post it up once my card is full

so thats was the 1st episode eh. well i'd be waiting years for that to be released on DVD then, thats if it will ever have english subs as other historical dramas like Seo dong yo 서동곡, sindon 신돈, 연개소문, the generation of the armed 무인시대 and the great general, lee Soonshin 불멸의이순신 havent. havent seen them on dvd at all either.

hello!

i am new here. i want to register at imbc.com so I can watch the programs on air live. but i don't speak nor understand Korean. So i'm wondering if anyone can help me figure out the instructions?

i would really appreciate it. Smile

and the reason i want to register? because i want to watch Jumong live!!!

Big Smile

That drama is not set in China. It's also a Korean Kingdom called Goguryo! It's the biggest Kingdom in Korea during the Three Kingdom Period.(BaekJae, Shilla and Goguryo)

Jumong is a new drama from MBC and it's a big drama in Korea right now. I've been watching it and it's damn interesting! I hope more people here will know about this drama......

Song Il Kook acts in it, so I've heard. I hope they broadcast it on Arirang TV too because that's the only Korean channel I can watch here in Turkey via sattelite.

I've been watching the drama , the Emperor of the Sea (at the 40th episode right now, eleven more episodes to go) for a really long time; and I looooooooooove historical dramas.

I wonder how Jumong is.

Yeah Jumong is good.

Somehow I think the KMovie Shadowless Swords is related. I think it's about the same time period and the countries, Haan and Balhee. I dunno might be just me Cool

We sort of predicted it last week, saying MBC's new Historical Drama 주몽 (Jumong) would be the new Drama most likely to hit 20% ratings, an increasingly difficult task for TV Dramas nowadays, with Cable and other platforms (VOD, Satellite, DMB) stealing viewers from the Main 4 stations. But I bet few expected to see such a growth in just two weeks. Yes, Master Choi Wan-Gyu's latest work not only went past the 20%, but it's setting the Korean press on fire.

Fire fits pretty well with this show, which started with a huge bang two weeks ago: production values in line with the latest Chungmuro Historical Dramas, Art Direction of a level you rarely see, Dramas OR film -- but then again, anyone familiar with MBC's Art Direction team and their work shouldn't be surprised -- fantastic acting from veterans like Jeon Gwang-Ryeol, Oh Yeon-Soo (more radiant than ever. Does she EVER age?) and of course Hur Joon-Ho, oozing charisma like few actors could do. But the most important thing of course is the writing, which so far is in line with Choi's best work. This show reminds of the Historical Dramas MBC and KBS were making during the Golden Age, with a super-tight storyline grabbing you by the collar from Minute One and never letting go.

There have been a few controversial issues in terms of historical distortion, such as the show's apparent lack of historical research in a period when data is very rare anyway, or suspicious costumes (closer to later Dynasties, but incredibly pretty), but if you've seen Sageuk before, you know the armchair historians always come out to **** after a few episodes. What counts is this show is on fire, and even the ratings are showing that: yesterday night's (Korean time) Episode, the 4th, hit an impressive 25.3%, beating 연애시대 (Alone in Love)'s last episode with 17.4% and the new KBS2 Drama 미스터 굿바이 (Mr. Goodbye) with 9.6%. We'll continue to follow 주몽 (Jumong) in the coming weeks, perhaps even with a few 'in between' Episode reviews if you want, because 50 Episodes is a long time, and this baby's too good to wait 7 months. Just hope, hell, pray this will make it to DVD. It makes 대장금 (Dae Jang Geum) look like a Kwak Jae-Yong film when it comes to intensity.
