I lost interest after finding out he was the CEO's son. Come on, Korean...change it up a little bit. Can we have one story with a rich heir male lead? It's getting ridiculous at this point.
I didn't feel that way, she understood him and he understood her in my opinion, and everything fell into place,…
I respect others' opinions, but I found that the fact that the main couple is rather contrived for the story, rather than the natural conclusion, considering how both the ML and SML treated her.
Honestly never thought I would have to skip romance scenes in a drama. I can't watch YJ and SJ they give brother…
I agree, which is why I suggested having the second male lead end up with her instead. Their chemistry is much better, and I would love to see some sort of redemption arc for him.
The kiss confirmed what I already knew: she has no chemistry with the male lead. Instead, she has way more chemistry with the second male lead. They need to find some way to either redeem the second male lead or... I don't know!
I liked it initially until they did the 14 years timeskip introducing the kids at episode 3, even less so after…
That's pretty much how I felt throughout the dreadful ordeal of watching this mess. I don't know about you, but it felt weird that he suddenly, out of nowhere, decided to become a soldier, and the fictitious story conjured up by the writers never sat right with me. If they had gone a different route from the beginning – a more historically accurate route – this drama would've been great.
I agree. He had the most chemistry and time invested with Han Mi. Hee Ah felt like an afterthought to wrap up…
I agree with the fact that the main plot objective of the story is not romance, which I found refreshing. I do agree that he had the most chemistry with Han Mi or even Gyu Ri's character.
Can you explain why?(without giving spoilers)I've been meaning to watch this.
Well, for starters, this drama doesn't make sense and is really boring. It's filled with tropes you would find in any drama, especially with the secondary characters. The over-the-top acting by the younger version of the MC truly breaks the suspension of disbelief.
The best historical drama from an entertainment standpoint may not be entirely historically accurate, but let's not dwell on that. This epic drama is filled with action, romance, and the story of the rise of an empire. Despite being a lengthy Korean drama, Jumong kept me engaged throughout. The characters were given ample time to develop, making their eventual success all the more satisfying. Unlike most Korean dramas, Jumong strikes a good balance between romance and plot development, avoiding excessive emotional drama. Overall, Jumong ranks among the top ten Korean dramas of all time.
Best boss and employee relationship ever in Kdrama history. The story is better than is supposed to be. The cast is perfect. The main couple is perfect. Everything is perfectly done. Oustanding unforgettable drama. BTW we need another Park Seo Joon and Kim Mi So drama.
Despite being a poorly constructed story, I still found this drama quite enjoyable. The chemistry and light-hearted moments were engaging, but as the show became serious, its flaws became more noticeable. Objectively speaking, it seemed indecisive, wavering between non-serious and serious tones, ultimately not fully committing to either. Somewhat corny but a worthwhile watch. The male lead truly carried the show with his acting and overall star power.
This is a toxic mess. I don't understand how the female lead could develop feelings for a guy who was determined to ruin her life. It's convenient for the plot that she ignores the clear red flags and chooses to love him anyway. If you're looking for unapologetic melodrama, this might be your cup of tea, but I warn you that you might need therapy when you're done.
