I think I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and join you all in watching this drama now that I've finished SFD…
I downloaded all of Jeong Do Jeon from dramabuds.me - It says it has eng sub for every episode (I didn't actually watch to see if it for sure does - so I also downloaded the zip subtitles link that someone shared on that page in case it doesn't have subs) :) and for Great King Sejong I downloaded it from dramanice.to :)
Love him in: Strongest Chil Woo (he was my favorite character!), Sungkyungkwan Scandal (he was the only character I stayed in the drama for lol), and I recently watched him in his movie 'The Throne' where he was amazing!!! and now I just finished Six Flying Dragons - and he was my ultimate favorite character!!! I think I might become a Yoo Ah In fan officially now lol :P
I think I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and join you all in watching this drama now that I've finished SFD today! :D after this I think I'm going to be tempted to move onto Great King Sejong & Jeong Do Jeon (although I don't know how I will be able to handle not hating JDJ after watching SFD lol)
The first 55 or so episodes were a 10 for me but it started weaning out later - where it just became one battlefield after another, so I lowered my initial rating to a 9 - I mean I like going through history like they showed it and I wasn't ever bored until the last 2 episodes (mainly the last one) where Chunchu wasn't on anymore and it was just about his kids - They had to show past Chunchu b/c it's called 'The Great Kings Dream' (the 'great king' referencing Chunchu) and his 'dream' (the unification of the Three Kingdoms). But the last few episodes with his sons just felt like they were just showing us the 'facts' and that got a little boring - I would have rather had them give us written subbed credits telling of when everything else takes place instead (like 'fact based' movies do). But overall I really enjoyed this drama and was very much invested in it up until the last few episodes. I loved Chunchu <3 (favorite character!) and I liked Inmun (Chunchu's son) until the last episode *more in spoiler* - I liked Yushin for the most part - I especially liked his bromance with Chunchu <3 but a few times he made me dislike him lol - I never ever warmed up to Beopmin - after his childhood scenes (where I liked him) when he became an 'adult' - I don't know if it was just the actor or if it really was the character - but I just could not like him - at all! :/
and all those 'dreams/visions' they had of themselves were so amusing - they were always what could happen if they were greedy type things lol - Kind of like the "bad" demon on your shoulder fighting with the "good" angel on the other
I hate what they did with Inmun's character in the last episode :( I thought I had read up on him already so I wouldn't be surprised, but apparently I missed the part where he ends up siding with Tang in the end :( Left me so disappointed b/c I really liked the guy!!! They shouldn't have made him likeable if he was going to end up like that :/ Why did they make me dislike Beopmin so much if he was going to be the only one to follow his fathers wishes? -_- *that's my one complaint*
Jihyeong (can't remember if I'm spelling that right lol) was great when Yushin & Chunchu were teenagers and even a little when they were adults but he ended up becoming a traitor and that disappointed me :(
I enjoyed Bidam's role in this drama - even if he was an antagonist - he played the part well - so well that in the end of his screen time I could not hate the guy :)
Happy birthday!!!!! <3 Loved you as Bidam ^_^ Hope to see you in another drama where you are as dashing and as mysterious as you were in that drama! <3
References if you want to read up on the actual history - it can make it so you can see what is fact and what is fiction - kind of makes it seem like History has come alive before your eyes ^_^ I always enjoy reading up on the characters I'm watching ;)

I downloaded it from kissasian but the subs are kinda Shakespearean lol during the first 7 episode and then again from episode 30-the end (30- the end subs are more understandable though than the first 7 lol)
I think dramanice.to has it as well (not sure if the subs are any better there though :/
What a beautifully sad movie!!! Makes you feel so much <3 It was romantic, sweet, and very sad :'( What would you do for someone you love? I gave it a 10 <3 :'(
^ This is the MV version of this movie - it's the same but different - should be watched after finishing this movie <3 it's 8 minutes and 21 seconds long ^^
