MBC's hugely popular Jumong is the first of a wave of Korean historical dramas
dealing with the Goguryeo Dynasty (approximately 37 BC-AD 668). Written by
veteran Choi Wan Gyu (Hur Jun, Sang Do, and All In) and Jung Hyung Soo (Damo),
Jumong is one of Korea's most impressive and popular historical dramas. It
dominated television screens during its broadcast, attracting viewership ratings
of over 40% in Korea.
Jumong is the name of the legendary founder of Goguryeo, King Dongmyeongseong.
The story starts with the conflict between Gojoseon, an ancient Korean kingdom,
and Han Chinese forces, eventually leading to a fragmented Korean Peninsula.
Hero-in-the-making Jumong (Song Il Kook, Emperor of the Sea) is born in this
time of chaos and struggle in the little independent state of Buyeo. He quickly
finds himself the most unlikely of princes and the victim of a rivalry with his
brother Dae So (Kim Seung Soo, A Million Roses). He is forced to choose between
the boyish charm of young merchant So Seo No (Han Hye Jin; Be Strong, Geum
Soon!) and the innocent smile of Bu Yeong (Im So Young), a servant he's known
for years. Through dangerous trials and painful lessons of the heart, Jumong
must rise to the occasion to unite the land and bring peace to his people.
