Entertainment at it's best - Jumong!


2006, 7 Discs
Korean, Excellent subtitles
5 Stars

Rainy Day never said she was the brightest bulb in the box, and getting hooked on a 4 Volume series was, well, not expected. She has finished the first 20 episodes, and now impatiently waits for Volume 2. Based on early history (and myths) of Korea it is the story of Jumong, the young man bound for greatness and glory, as the man who unites the three kingdoms of Korea. There is palace intrigue, romance, sword fights galore and the best costumes Rainy Day has ever seen in a movie.  There are 81 episodes, of which Rainy Day has seen the first 20. These episodes are some of the best entertainment out there. The subtitles are superb, up long enough to actually read, as well as watch what's going on. Make the popcorn, grab a soda, and enjoy!
