Jumong Episode 73

A new nation springs (spoilers)

This episode closes another arc and leads into the final, arc of the story. There has been so much progresssion. I am surprised at how easily all these companions of Jumong's are now falling into their offices. What began as a camraderies and friendship has now been transformed. And of course marriage was the only solution to the problem of ruling. The two of them are both so great together, both wise and strong. they should have never separated in the first place but destiny wouldn't let them be together, it's rather sad. It has caused conflict of power between the Jol Bon people who were always from the same origin as the cieftains and the Da Mul army which they felt is the "straner" here, but this conflict was beautifully reolved- this is for the best. And, as Seo So No;s father says, "thius is the only solution we have for now". It;s difficult for the two of them, given what they shared and lost in the past and destiny is very cruel by playing wth them in this way. As long as they stay married, things sould be fine.

However,, Yesoya has appeared o the horizon, which will be an emotional blow for Jumong most likely. I cannot blame her- she is a good person, and she tried to be supportive in her own way. But what about Yuri? Knowing his own story from the first arc of this drama, Jumong is really devastated at having lost his son. So what's to happen?
