Weekend Special: Sizzling HOT K Drama - Jumong

has been hooked to this drama.. but din intend to watch it in e 1st place cos its a whopping 60 episodes!!! but curiousity got e better of me (cos it is breaking tv records and the No 1 rated drama of the yr) and wat's next is history.. once i start, i jus cant stop.. lol.. it is still showing in S Korea right now and i expect this to be yet another classic period drama, after Jewel in the Palace..
Anyway this is the synopsis of the drama..

The story begins in 108 BC, during a time when Gojoseon (Old Joseon) finally succumbs to defeat after a long battle with the Han nation, a time when the remnants of an old empire must face their fate as a people without a nation and without voice, a time that calls for the rising of a people's hero.
It is during this calamitous time that a love blossoms and leads to the birth of Jumong (Song Il-Guk), who will be Buyeo's prince. He is soon persecuted by the greedy faction within the palace headed by the Queen (Gyeon Mi-Ri), who is consumed by jealousy, and the power-hungry royal advisor to the King (Lee Jae-Yong). Yet, through his trials and tribulations, and with the love of three women, the once weak and careless Jumong transforms into a hero and, as recorded in history, becomes the founding monarch of the kingdom of Goguryeo (2nd century BC - 688 AD). But a hero is not one without sacrifices, and this story details such losses, through the tears of Jumong's mother Lady Yoohwa (Oh Yeon-Su), as well the merchant girl Soseono (Han Hye-Jin), who is incessantly pursued by Jumong's greatest adversary and half-brother, Prince Daeso (Kim Seung-Su)...

and time to move on to the drama pics!!
