Product Description
The Legend Begins. The unforgettable history of the Korean people comes alive in Jumong! In 180 B.C., after enjoying its golden age for 2100 years, the ancient kingdom of Gojoseon has fallen to the Han Empire of China. With no hope of recovering the once glorified kingdom, the land and the people are left divided. However, one man stands alone to bring back their freedom. Follow the story of the legendary historical figure Jumong Taewang (Song Il Gook of Sea God and Terms of Endearment.), founder of the ancient kingdom of Goguryeo. Amid sweeping battles and equally sweeping romance, the mythological hero Jumong embarks on an epic adventure to save his people. Co-starring Han Hye-Jin (Be Strong Geum-soon!), Volume 1 of Jumong chronicles the coming-of-age story of the arrogant but naïve young prince who would one day lead his people to freedom.
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 Gook, 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. Other than chronicling Jumong's slow coming-of-age path, the first part of Jumong also deals with the touchy relationship between Buyeo and the Han, with King Geum Wa (Chun Kwang Ryul, Hur Jun) torn between loyalty to his rebel friend Hae Mo Su (Hur Jun Ho, Silmido) and the fate of his nation.
