Synopsis
Magnitude is about to start.

You are about to go back to the time of Goguryeo, a time which was bigger than now.
��A time when our nation was the most beautiful��, ��A time when our nation was the center of the world��. Have you ever met such a time?! dares to journey into a time no one has ever gone back to. The most surprising time in history has come back 2000 years later, a time when the nation made China fall down to their knees and when we fought other nations without any fear.

Meet a hero bigger than the myth.
Alexander, Genghis Khan, we have the hero who overwhelmed his generation and changed history, Jumong! Up to now we have been used to dramas dealing with the history of kings and knights but now we are about to challenge in creating a drama with the birth of a true hero. A name only remembered as a myth. Get ready to meet Jumong, the hero who opened up the skies of the Old Joseon, which was once ours, by fighting thousands and thousands of armies.

Meet the love even bigger than the history.
��Love�� seems to be the one common denominator across people of all generations and nations. ��Love�� gets swept away with the waves of time and also gets hurt with biased views in societies, but it also creates a new kind of history by wrestling against adversity and the trials of time. True love, which is uncommonly seen in history, is re-drawn through the drama of our once forgotten history.
Through the wisdom and courage of Korea��s first queen So Seo-no...

Starring

Jumong: King of Goguryeo who won back the skies of the Old Joseon (Actor: Song Il-gook)
Old Joseon (Actor: Song Il-gook) He is the son of Hae Mo-soo and Yu Hwa but grows up as the son of Geum Wa, a person who betrayed his father. He lives longing for the chance to meet his father, who is his teacher, again but he dies and lives the rest of his life not knowing that his teacher was his father. He loves a woman but ends up marrying a different one and eventually breaks up with her, but all these trials and sadness do not get in the way of his destiny. His legacy to the Korean people is the great historical triumph of winning back the skies of the Old Joseon and establishing the Goguryeo Dynasty.

So Seo-no: A wise and strong queen (Actress: Han Hye-jin)
She had the intelligence and foresight to look out for the future generations but because she was a woman she could not live her dreams. She was not afraid of death but because she was from a weak nation, she had to bear a pain more painful than death. Although she couldn��t become the love of a lifetime to a certain man, she stands up to be a most powerful and wise leader. The first queen history remembers, in a time when love was lavished, yet not considered everything.

Dae Soh: Jealously itself (Actor: Kim Seung-soo)
As a child he lost all his father��s love to Jumong. As an adult he bears a scar from not being able to be with the woman he loved. He brings Jumong��s father to his death and also does everything he can do to take Soo Seo-no away from him.

Geum Wa: An affectionate king (Actor: Jeun Kwang-ryeul)
Fought in a war with the Han Nation alongside of Hae Mo-soo; the two shared a friendship even thicker than blood but eventually surrender to the Han nation after which he betrays Hae Mo-soo.
He takes in Hae Mo-soo��s wife, a woman who lives every day longing for Hae Mo-soo, as his own wife and also takes care of Hae Mo-soo��s son as his son with both love and hatred and a very heavy sense of guilt.

Yu Hwa: Motherhood of sadness (Actress: Oh Yun-soo)
The daughter of Ha Baek-joek, she has looks so stunning that anyone would fall in love with her at first sight.
She nurses Hae Mo-soo��s wounds with great devotion but ends up facing a tragedy when her people get murdered by the Han army for hiding Hae Mo-soo.
After hearing that Hae Mo-soo has passed away she falls into great sadness, but gets married to Geum Wa and gives birth to Hae Mo-soo��s son Jumong.

The casts :

주몽 (Jumong)
MBC - May 8, Historical Drama

PD: 6
이주환 (Lee Ju-Hwan)
Weird choice for an Historical Drama, but I've seen stranger things. Now the biggest problem is experience, because even if you've worked 20 years in 'regular' TV Drama, your first Sageuk project can be really hard to adapt to. Lee's past works mostly deal with Trendy Dramas or Daily Dramas, like the smash hit 인어 아가씨 (Mermaid Girl) and 선희진희 (Seon-Hee Jin-Hee). But I'm giving him a 6 solely based on his involvement in the 1994 classic 종합병원 (General Hospital). Why? Because it's THAT good.
WRITER: 10
최완규 (Choi Wan-Gyu), 정형수 (Jung Hyung-Soo)
Here's your killer ap. Choi Wan-Gyu is, along with Im Choong, my favorite Sageuk writer, and his list of credits reads like a 'who's who' of the best shows of the last 10 years. We begin with 'General Hospital', the fantastic 'Lee Young-Ae before Lady Vengeance' revenge Drama 그들의 포옹 (Their Embrace), 2000's classic 허준 (Hur Joon), 상도 (Sang Do), 올인 (All In), and many more. Jung Hyung-Soo is one of his many proteges, and he himself wrote a few 'not too shabby' shows like a certain 다모 (Damo). They're two of the most shining lights who lead MBC's complete revolution of Historical Drama tropes, so we should expect something excellent from them. We couldn't possibly be in safer hands.
CAST: 8
송일국 (Song Il-Guk), 한혜진 (Han Hye-Jin), 전광렬 (Jeon Gwang-Ryeol), 김승수 (Kim Seung-Soo), 오연수 (Oh Yeon-Soo), 김영철 (Kim Young-Cheol)
Excellent. Of course we're dealing with a 'new age' Historical Drama, mixing more fictional characters than usual and a healthy (I hope!) dose of melodrama, mixed with the usual Sageuk formulae, so the cast tends to be younger. Song Il-Guk was fantastic in 해신 (Emperor of the Sea), and will finally have the chance to go full force, with what looks to be his most important role to date. Han Hye-Jin is still very young and inexperienced, but she carried a Daily Drama on her shoulders -- last year's 굳세어라 금순아 (Be Strong, Geum-Soon) -- which is not an easy feat. It's hard to say if she's got what it takes for a show like this, but this is certainly the chance to show it. Jeon Gwang-Ryeol and Kim Young-Cheol are Historical Dramas veterans, and although Oh Yeon-Soo is not too familiar with the genre, she's an excellent actress. With a few older veterans, this could become a great cast.
OUTLINE: 9
Don't ask me why, but I tend to like Historical Dramas focusing on the beginning of a Dynasty, rather than its end. They tend to be a little more 'idealist' and inspirational than the megaton bombs of intrigue of the other type of Dramas. And here's one of them! King Jumong (or King Dongmyeongseong, if you prefer him dead) founded Goguryeo in 37 BC, after several tribes from Gojoseon and Buyeo got together and decided... hey! There's nothing interesting to do, so let's, like, build a Kingdom! A former man of Buyeo, Jumong conquered the Kingdoms of Biryu, Haengin and Okjeo to create Goguryeo, although his reign was pretty short-lived. The show will focus on what made 'Emperor of the Sea' so successful: big battles, lavish locations (China), and a little more melodrama than we're used to.
RATINGS POTENTIAL: 9
Big. Song Il-Guk's popularity is increasing exponentially, and Han Hye-Jin's latest Drama ended with a big 40%. MBC is starting to do well again, so I think this might be their first huge hit of the season. Although I think it won't match the ratings of 연애시대 (Alone in Love), I can safely say 35-40% shouldn't be too surprising. I can't wait for this show, and this time I'm serious.
OVERALL: 8.40

wa seneng ada thread nya sendirian. djes pinter deh. eh bulan depan asian stars akan ngebahas loh, karena ni serial naik terus ratingnya... huahahahahahaa.seneng bangetttttttttt.

baru liat ep1. kayanya bukan film silat (kaya cerita jinyong) ato epic militer (kaya sam kok). lebih condong ke drama pake background kerajaan kaya Dae Jang Geum.

ep1 kurang wah neh. gua lebih suka Emperor of the Sea, at least awalnya. Dae Jang Geum juga jauh lebih bagus menurut gua. begitu mulai langsung deh lengket pengen liat lanjutannya.

ntar liat ep2 deh mungkin lebih bagus.
