Jumong was the highest rated drama in Korea in 2006, and has started showing in other parts of Asia.
Jumong is a historical drama based on the life of Jumong Taewang, founder of the kingdom of Goguryeo in the first century. The storyline of the drama has been largely altered though, to more real-life basis instead of the myhtical legend of Jumong (he is said to be descendent of gods in Korean myth).
The 81-episodes drama starred Song Il-gook, Han Hye-jin etc. I haven’t watch the drama yet, so I can’t share much insight about the drama; below is the story plot I gathered from a few online resources…
The drama started with the story of Hae Mo-su, the father of Jumong… about his battle with China’s Han armies and his encounter with Princess Yuhwa (mother of Jumong).
The drama then focus on stories after Jumong was born and nurtured, becoming the prince of Buyeo and meeting with his father Hae Mo-su, who was thought dead during a Han’s pursuit.
The latter part of the stories showed the intense rivalry between Jumong and his nemesis, and his love relation with Princess Soseono.
Hope to see his Korean drama soon.

the tv mini series Jumong is fantastic, I really love watching it, I bought DVD for a complete 81 episodes. Honestly I finished watching the 81 episodes already. I watched the last 2 cds for 2 weekends only, from evening till morning of the following day, I didn’t sleep just to finish it, since I don’t have work during saturdays and sundays. I am really fascinated with Jumong, Song Il-Kook is very attractive, handsome and really, so nakaka inlove. I wish someday I can visit Korea and meet the actor himself. Or maybe Song Il-Kook can come to the Philippines in the near future, I am pretty sure he has so many fans here in our country. Can I ask for the email address of Song Il-Kook. or can you please ask him to email me and send me his photo, my email ad is; tess10658@yahoo.com. Thanks and God bless.

All is have been said. Talagang maganda ang JUMONG. Not only the story but also the actor & actresses who charaterized the role. Hope na makarating dito sa Philippines si SONG IL GOOK, for he will know how the Filipino viewers of JUMONG love him so much. We dont want to loose hope that SONG IL GOOK will visit Philippines. I ILOVE YOU SO MUCH SONG IL GOOK….
