RadoxTheGreen 17th May 2015		Review Forget Monkey and The Water Margin, they have nothing on this epic 81 episode long series. Telling the legend of Jumong, the son of Hae Mo-Su, who was taken in by the then Prince Kum Wa and raised as his own son, even after he became king. Jumong founded the kingdom of Goguryeo in 37 B.C. which became one of the three kingdoms that united to become Korea. If there is anything to fault this series, it is that Song Il-Guk looks a little to old to play Jumong, given that the real person on who the character is based founded Goguryeo before his death at the age of 27. Like a lot of Korean shows, the pace of this drama is a little slower than the shows on TV in the UK today and it does drag in the middle somewhat. Not that I'm complaining about that. This isn't something for the low attention span kids of today, it demands your attention like the dramas I grew up on in the seventies (Doomwatch, The Onedin Line, Poldark etc). DVD's of this series are hard to find in the West, but it is available in the US as a 4 volume set (and obviously in region 1). Each volume contains 7 DVDs in Korean with English subtitles. With over 80 hours of programming, the set is not surprisingly a bit pricey (Amazon are selling each volume at around $75 to $160 each, depending on whether the volume comes with extra booklets or not). So, not something the casual viewer is likely to buy. All of which makes it a glorious little secret gem. If you're lucky enough to track it down, and totally irresponsible, there's a Jumong drinking game that can get the maximum fun out of your DVD (chug your drink every time someone says "yeah", twice if its Jumong), but, of course, I could never recommend you try something like that. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
