Someone pls talk me out of rewatching Jumong. It’s madness!
Tumblr media
But then Jumong is THE sageuk. 81 episodes, insane ratings (it ended its run with 52% ratings which even in those older days was psychotic), the best gradual character development - when we first meet our ML he’s a total pathetic waste of space and then to watch him slowly transform is glorious, and man they really spent as much time on iron works and salt trade as they did battles.
Tumblr media
Also Seosono was such an awesome FL and the rest of the cast was A+. It starts slow and then picks up so much steam!
Tumblr media
When I say they don’t make them like this any more, I mean it!
Tumblr media
I have nothing against youth sageuks per se but the fact that their ascent got rid of those long adult epics is a crime.

Because I am an old and am feeling nostalgic for old school sageuks of the early 2000s, I’m starting a re-watch of Jumong. I haven’t touched this and boy in probably over 15 years.
@dangermousie let’s gooooooo (to the land of sweaty unkempt burly men, long history lessons, and political schemes).

After 81 glorious episodes, I have finished Jumong. I started it in July, pretty soon after it appeared on Viki (now please add more old long sageuks pretty please Viki!), and have been watching fairly steadily since then, mostly with my mum when we're in the same place (my dad at a certain point started watching with her but only managed to stay awake through episodes starting in the 60s, meaning he had no idea who half the characters were...). And I have some thoughts!
--I loved it! It didn't get me in the gut like a QSD or a SFD or even The Legend, but it really kept up my interest across 81 episodes, with a great mixture of action, intrigue, melodrama, and silliness (there was the intentional silliness like my man Mo Pal Mo, but also stuff like the oracle being struck by lightning when she tried to curse Jumong, which made me howl with laughter). I really wish we still got sagueks like this--long, deliberate, with no interest in being cool or youthful, give or take a backflip (though the fact that I now get to start Goryeo-Khitan War really does make me happy and excited).
--I started watching kdramas seriously in 2014. At that time, I was familiar with Song Il Gook--but only because I couldn't avoid endless gifs of him and his patriotically-named triplets. I vaguely understood that he had been a big-deal actor, but his main dramas were older and less accessible (and when he did Jang Yeong Shil in 2016 it wasn't available to stream legally anywhere), so I had never seen him in anything until this. And now... I would very much like for him to come back to dramas! He is honestly incredible here: so charismatic, so compelling to watch, SO handsome, and most importantly he really nails the incredibly long journey Jumong goes on, from callow loser to impetuous guy figuring it out to determined general to gravitas-laden king. Every step of the way I was with him, and though the show boasts a huge cast, he really was the reason for the season; the show isn't called Jumong for nothing. There are two episodes he isn't in when everyone thinks Jumong is dead, and it's like a punch to the viewer's gut as well, you just can't imagine this world without him in it! And did I mention that he's handsome?
--Speaking of handsome, shoutout to the 3-year time-jump around episode 50 when all of a sudden it seemed like all the men of the show had spent the weeks leading up to that growing out their hair and all their manes of glory were flowing in the breeze. Your efforts did not go unappreciated, gentlemen! (Also 2006 lace-front wigs are rough to watch in HD!)
--Speaking of compelling journeys, even though this was the Jumong show (literally!) Soseono also really went through it, and Han Hye Jin made every stage of her transformation from bold, overconfident young woman to burdened mother and queen believable and interesting. And these parallel journeys of the leads really do provide the emotional heart of the show: as they grow up and make difficult decisions and go down paths they never anticipated (particularly their marriages to different people), on the one hand they are fulfilling their dreams and destinies, but on the other they are basically guaranteeing that the beautiful time of their youth, when they were in love and saw a whole life together unfolding before them, could never be recaptured. Even when Soseono and Jumong finally marry, it is out of duty and obligation--not that there isn't a part of them that still loves the other, but that part has been entirely subordinated to the other projects that they dedicated their lives to. Soseono leaving does make sense (though Biryu's rebellion was so dumb that it made it impossible for me to have sympathy for him), but it was genuinely sad to see both her and Jumong realize that the thing they lost all those years ago could never be returned, not even by 15 years of marriage.
--And speaking of marriage... I feel really bad for Yesoya, a character who basically exists to abnegate herself and also give Jumong a baby. But I found their relationship weirdly fascinating (and though sageuks like Jumong have a reputation for being stodgy, I do want to highlight that both leads in this drama marry people they explicitly don't romantically love and almost immediately get pregnant. Sexuality exists in stodgy sageuks! (also Jumong got very frisky with those tavern girls after Haemosoo died)). By the end, when Yesoya comes back, Jumong looks at her with such warmth, it's as though feeling really really guilty ended up making him actually fall in love with her.
--Shout out to the casting director, Yuri really did look like he was Jumong's son.
--Imagine my surprise and delight that there is an honest-to-God gay couple in this 81-long episode sageuk from 2006 that is obvious, unambiguous, and deeply deeply sweet. Though my inability to makes heads or tails of Bae Soo Bin as an actor continues. I have seen him be very good (as he is here)! I have seen him be VERY bad. Where is the truth?????
I guess that's it for now. Come back to us, Song Il Gook!

In the 2008 KBS drama , actress Lee Chun-hee acted. From the middle, along with Sejong, he appears as another main character. He is the most resourceful and dexterous genius in the work.

In the cartoon , a character named 'Youngsil', whose motif is Jang Yeongsil, appears. He specializes in martial arts and invents as a hobby.

4.5. musical[edit]
In the musical , it appears as a gag scene in which King Sejong is initially caught behind his back and gossiping about all sorts of things. As Sejong's only helper who has no one to support him, he is praised by King Sejong for inventing a liver after 침향여설 다시 보기 1화-59화 완결 (중드) 한글making all kinds of achievements by gaining the absolute trust of King Sejong. However, he could not stand the indirect pressure and political attack from the people who were against King Sejong, so he burned his liver with his own hands and was beheaded for damaging the country's property.

In addition, in alternative history works set in the early Joseon Dynasty, the main character with future knowledge often appears as an all-rounder who can create anything if the protagonist hand over the knowledge and design that can be realized with the te
s not an excessive heroization.
First of all, he cannot be called a scientist. He created great scientific instruments, but there is no record of exploring the principles surrounding them, and there is no ideological discussion related to the instruments. The scientific instruments were designed by scholars such as Lee Cheon, and Jang Young-si침향여설 다시 보기 1화-59화 완결 (중드) 한글l was only in charge of manufacturing according to the design. Therefore, even though he may be an excellent engineer, the title of scientist is not appropriate.
When historians of science discuss Sejong's science, they pay more attention to figures such as Lee Cheon, Lee Sunji, Kim Dam, and Jeong In-ji rather than Jang Yeong-sil. It is because they are the ones who have been interested in and explored various areas of nature, starting with astronomy. In the case of Lee Cheon, he was in charge of making various instruments in various fields, from Honcheonui and Angbuilgu to various gunpowder weapons and musical instruments, and it is estimated that Jang 침향여설 다시 보기 1화-59화 완결 (중드) 한글Yeongsil was also one of the people who helped make them under him.
Nevertheless, Jang Yeong-sil occupies an overwhelming proportion in public perception. There are two main reasons for this phenomenon. The first is the tendency to emphasize autonomy, and the second is the tendency to emphasize modernity.
In the case of the former, it is interpreted that Jang Yeong-sil emphasized him to highlight the independence of science and technology during the reign of King Sejong. If King Sejong's interest

Jumong
Year : 2006 | Country : KR | Nb of episodes: 81
My rate: 10/10
Synopsis :
Jumong was the founder of Goguryeo in 37 BC. He was the son of General Hae Mo Su and Lady Yoo Hwa, and was raised by King Geum Wa who took him and his mother in when Hae Mo Su was believed to have been killed in an ambush by the Han Dynasty. So Seo No was a merchant's daughter who helped Jumong in realizing his dream to build a new country, and later became his second wife.
Main cast :
Song Il Gook as Jumong
Han Hye Jin as So Seo No
Kim Seung Soo as Prince Dae So
Hu Joon Ho as Hae Mo Su
Oh Yun Soo as Lady Yoo Hwa
My thoughts on this drama :
Jumong is THE historical drama. It was kept very close to real history (except for the added characters used for romantic purpose). The drama may be extra long, but it's worth every hour. Scenery, battle scenes, costumes, music, acting. 100% on point.
 A Favorite ?
YES!!!!!!!

Let's meet my favorite kdrama cursed prince - Muhyul as portrayed by Song Il Gook in The Kingdom of the Winds
Or more specifically, this very long-ass post is my attempt to convince people to watch this ridiculously underrated 2008 sageuk.
Why? Is it politics? Complicated families, cursed destinies, battles, or more hurt/comfort than you can want? Nope, none of these. I have my priorities straight and it's official. Muhyul/Yeon is one of my favorite period OTPs.
Take one Cursed Prince (who does not know he is one, and is brought up as a slave), add in one capable Enemy Princess who saves his life, add in ninjas (yes I know ninjas are Japanese but I have no idea what the Korean equivalent term is and I am too lazy to type in secret assassins every time), poisonings, intrigues, and a lot of hurt/comfort and we are set!
Once upon a time, there lived a man named Muhyul. He was only a slave but what he did not know was that he was actually a Prince who was given away by his family at birth because he was cursed to kill his whole family, people he loved, and to top it off, to destroy his country. Despite it all, he was still super-hot.
Tumblr media
In the enemy nation of Buyeo, there lived a Princess named Yeon, who was ladylike, kind, a skilled healer....also a deadly ninja.
Tumblr media
Point 1: Heal captured slaves from torture. One day they might be the Crown Prince.
Muhyul first sees Yeon after he has been horrendously tortured by Buyeo troops. He opens his eyes to see a heavenly vision quite competently stitching him up, so to speak. It is love at first sight for Muhyul. And who could blame him. He knows that with the director's troubling penchant for h/c, he will need a hottie healer around.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Point 2: "Heal a hottie and he is yours for life"
Muhyul spends some free time drawing her portrait. Without knowing who she is or if he will see her again. If the whole slave/assassin/king thing doesn't work out, he can always make money as an artist.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Point 3: "It's not stalking when he's hot!"
Muhyul is on an undercover mission in the enemy country but he forgets everything when he sees Yeon walking by (btw, he assumes she is just a commoner doctor). I love how he sort of stops thinking of anything else at all.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then he thinks of her at night...
Tumblr media
And lo and behond, their paths cross again when she heals a slave in the house he is staying in.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And he introduces himself to her and she is totally mesmerized. Who can blame her, it's freaking Song Il Gook!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And "rescues" her from evil Byueo soldiers. Only, oooops, they were sent by her family as escort and she is piiiiiiiiissed!
Tumblr media
"Why did she slap me, whyyyyyy?"
Tumblr media
Still, be happy, boy! Despite it all, she bailed you out of jail for assaulting the Royal Guards :)
Awwww, Muhyul doesn't want to leave...
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Point 4: You know what makes anything better? Torture and homicidal angst
Did I mention the part where Yeon's Dad runs an Evil Assassin camp where they experiment on slaves with poisons and torture them? You see where this is going? If you do, then you have the mindset of both the writer of this drama and myself.
Muhyul gets captured by them (after losing the only person he ever regarded as family, but that would drag us into plot and this post is about the shippy):
Tumblr media
And tortured for a solid year. If he ever marries Yeon, that might make for an awkward family Thanksgiving. "So, how are you, son?" "Well, I almost regained the use of my arms!"
Anyway, Yeon is visiting Daddy and sees some slave being taken out, after they have tried poisons on him. It's Muhyul, so it's Yeon to the rescue! Man, no wonder he loves her - it's self-preservation on his part!
Tumblr media
(this shot here is for troubling reasons)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And then Muhyul is drafted by evil assassins (long plotty reason) with the only alternative more torture. The training is psychotic and gets Muhyul near-broken utterly but as a side benefit, makes him even more hot. If now mildly psychotic. As you can probably figure out by the end of the drama he's so hot he's a supernova
Tumblr media
Also, as I posted earlier, gorgeous armored men on their knees looking up at their OTP who is teaching them foreign language (because Yeon is an Evil Assassin trainer for daddy) and thinking of the fact that they are a slave and she is a Princess (which is something he found out only in the ninja camp) is pretty high on the list of my favorite things.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Plus, Yeon takes him out for fresh air and exercise that doesn't involve being hung upside down and being ordered to off oneself. Score! She even makes him smile.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is hitting the cap limit for continuing in part 2 shortly...
ETA: part 2 here:
(99+) Musings of the Obsessive Kind on Tumblr
And part 3:

I’ve been watching Jumong but not really posting about it because it’s not really something that inspires meta. At least not in the early episodes. But damn, it’s still as addictive as it was back then. Something about it just sucks you in even though the production value is so, so, dated and cheap looking now.
My quick thoughts:
Han Hye Jin is gorgeous and needs to be in more things. I love So Seo No and the fact that her weapon of choice is a leather whip.
Hae Mo Soo. Hae Mo Soo. Hae Mo Soo. That’s pretty much 50% of the dialogue in the first 2 episodes lol.
Song Il Gook is so big. Mmm. He looks so young in this.
Speaking of Song Il Gook, aside from him and maybe Bae Soo Bin, all the men in this are so dowdy 😂 . Such a difference from the drama landscape these days. All these men look like hairy middle aged uncles hahaha.
I remember the second Prince being compared to Shrek back in the day because of all the bright green he wore and that comparison still stands. 😂
It’s fun seeing who I recognize in the cast now. What a trip that Jumong’s mom is played by the same actress who played Kim Nam Gil’s stepsister with whom he had inappropriately hot chemistry in Bad Guy.
It’s hilarious seeing all the different long haired wigs they tried out for Sumong/Bae Soo Bin in the early episodes. I’m glad they finally found a wig that worked in the end.
But anyway, this is probably one of the best zero to hero stories ever. Jumong starts off so useless and immature and the journey he goes through to become the heroic king in the end is just so *chef’s kiss*. I highly recommend it!
