My second time watching Jumong. I am falling in love with these characters all over again!

Song Gook is just so beautiful, strong, level-headed, and dedicated to his cost. Period dramas is his calling. These roles fit him like a custom-made suit. I am surprised he hasn’t been in any recent historical series—considering the amount that’s been coming out. As a fan, I am literally itching for him to get a new role soon.

(BEFORE HE LOST HIS WAY) King Geum Wa would have been among Historical best Kings. He was deeply loyal to Jumong and his mother… a devotion that stemmed from his love and friendship with General Hae Mo Su (Jumong father) Eventually, he came back to his senses.

I like Ye So Ya. She is modest and humble, and became Jumong wife because of circumstances… well, I am sure she loved him from the get-go. Don't even get me started on how much this woman endured, my Lord! She deserved that Queen title just as much as So Seo No. But Ye So Ya didn’t want the title anyways.

Second to Jumong, Oh Yi is my favourite! He's forever down for saving Ye So Ya. No hesitation.

Before they were assumed dead, I think, Oh Yi, believed Jumong didn't have any love for his wife because of his constant "lack of concern" look. However, when he witnessed Jumong suffering as he silently licked his own wound and pained for not saving his family, Oh Yi, who always looked saddened and surprised by Jumong's laid-back attitude regarding his wife and son... heart breaks as he now realise Ye So Ya was not merely another "woman" to Jumong, and his Commander and bother had lost what he most cherished.

After all those years, Oh Yi still remembered the way Ye So Ya looked. Just a mere glance and he knew. He saw Ye So Ya as his sister-in-law after she married Jumong.

What a wonderful man. Loyal friend and brother.



WHAT I HATED: The only think I dislike about this series is that Lady Ye So Ya didn't get more lines, especially when talking to Jumong. There were many times I wish they would allow her express herself more.
