Completely addicted

Watching it now on AZN TV and this has to be one of the most addicting shows I've ever seen. Han Hye-jin as Lady Sosuhno is one of the most beautiful actresses I've ever seen.

I'm addicted too......but I missed the beginning of it. I thinking of buying the DVDs soon so I can see episodes 1-30 (which I missed).

Yeah, me three. I've watch from the beginning but miss some episodes in between. I'm so addicted!

I love all the Korean dramas I've seen so far (My Lovely Samsoon, Emperor of the Sea, Full House and Jumong). Especially EOS and Jumong because of Il-guk Song who plays Yeom Jang in EOS and the title character in Jumong. He is very talented and I love the way he can show various emotions at one time. He is such a great actor (as well as my future hubby...lol).

I became addicted to watching it on AZN also. I am non-Asian, but love this channel. I purchased all four volumes of Jumong during a Barnes & Nobles 3 for two video sales, along with Snow Queen and Winter Sonata, and got them all for $300. They came in the mail to me.

It's been several months since I watched it on AZN, sometimes having to miss an episode. I am re-watching the DVD's with my husband, and we are on the 64th episode. I am enjoying it more than I did the first time I saw Jumong. It's great because it has taken a month to get this far in the episodes. The reason I purchased it is because I wanted to share it with other family members, who could watch it at their leisure. This wonderful series has been spendy, but I have to say it: so worth it. It's an epic treasure in value comparable to Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. Also: good English subtitles

There is a new show currently airing called "Country of the Wind" That's just the literal translation and the actual US title may change.

This drama takes place 40 years after Jumong. The title character is Jumong's grandson and is played by Song Il Kuk again. He is born with a curse and forced to live as a commoner. The show details his birth and rise to power and eventually becoming the third kind of Koguryo.

The show has the same elements Jumong had, great costumes ans scenery and a good plot

Thanks for the info! I loved Jumong and I can't wait to see this one!

I'm currently through 35 episodes and I can say that it's unquestionably awesome! If it is somehow capable of maintaining the same high level of entertainment for the rest of the episodes, then it may just surpass "Dae Jang Geum" as my all time favorite television series.

I am just starting it, on episode 1. Don't have to worry about finding the rest of the episodes as I have them all on dvd. Have just started Dae Jang Geum too, on episode 7 of that.
