Jumong...

[dangermousie]

I don't want to start a new drama, seeing I already am obsessing over two currently airing ones: Iljimae and Powerful Opponents (let PO end first, at least), so I decided instead to catch up on some I already started and got sidetracked from.

So...Jumong.

I loved the first 17 (?) episodes I watched but it's a very long drama (81 eps!!!!) and I got sidetracked/ran out of DVDs. Well, now I got the DVDs and I remembered how much I liked it so...

Also, apparently somewhere between where I started and the end, Jumong aquires scruff, neat hairdo, black clothes and angst. I approve.

SIG is one of the few actors that actually look just as good with beards and moustache. Yup, I approve too :D

Ok, why do I keep thingking 'Legend' when I watch that clip? Set in the same period?

Roughly. Jumong is Dam Duk's ancestor (not sure how far removed...great-great grandpa? No idea).

Jumong is 81 eps so it moves much slower, and they go into politics even more (there are long discussions of metal smelting and salt rights) but I really really like it. It was a scarily huge hit, ending with over 50% of the viewing audience.
