June Reviews

Review from: DVD Talk Reviewer: Jeffrey Robinson Title: Jumong Volume 1 Jumong, also known as Prince of the Legend, is a South Korean television drama (K-drama) from the MBC network. The series is a historical drama based loosely on the real life accounts of Jumong. He was a king in Korea's history that helped form a massive kingdom and protect its citizens from the oppressive Han Empire. The true details about Jumong's life and the events surrounding it are not historically accurate. The story is more a myth, which can be read about in the included reference guide booklet. The K-drama Jumong portrays a loose interpretation around the myths and limited information about him. There are a total of eighty-one episodes that make up the series. They are being released on DVD by YA Entertainment in four volumes. This review covers volume one, episodes 1-20. The story begins in 108 B.C during a time when the Han Empire (China) had recently defeated the Gojosun Empire. With the ancient Korean empire under Chinese occupation, the neighboring Puyo Kingdom was not sure how to proceed. Puyo's King Haeburu (Park Geun Hyung) and his advisors knew that their kingdom could be next. They considered whether or not to make peace with the Han or prepare an offensive. One such man that led the battle against Han occupation was Haemosu (Hur Jun Ho). He was the leader of the Damul Army, a resistance group formed in the downfall of Gojosun. At first, Haeburu had no intention of helping Haemosu, but the Han instead. However, when Haeburu learned that his son Kumwa (Jeon Gwang Ryeol), the Royal Crown Price, was best friends and comrades with Haemosu, he decided to invite Haemosu into his ranks. But when it came to the king's attention that Haemosu's popularity was outgrowing his own, Haemosu became a target by the state and was killed. In the aftermath, Puyo made peace with the Han, although it was uneasy with the Han having the upper hand as the superior fighting power. Drama ensued from key individuals tied to Haemosu. Prior to his death, he had fallen in love with Yuhwa (Oh Yeon Su), who was pregnant with his child. Kumwa, who also fell in love with Yuhwa, decided to take her as his concubine and pretend Haemosu's unborn child, Jumong (Song Il Kook), was his own. Jumong became the third royal prince and the secret of his true identity was never to be revealed. Click Here to read more
