I stumbled upon this one night on cable tv and was immediately hooked. This is such a great story, it has everything, love, hate, betrayl, action, etc. The costumes and scenery are fantastic. It tells the story of a boy born into slavery but is determined to get out it. He has two good friends, one is also a slave, the other is the son of a merchant. These three remain friends all throught their lives. This story kept me interested from the first episode all the way to the last. There are lots of twists and turns in the plot, when I was absolutely positively sure something was going to happen, it didn't. Plan to spend a lot of time in front of the tv once you start watching. This is a great film to watch either by yourself or with a bunch of friends. I wish hollyood would take some cues from these korean dramas. If you are hesitating about buying it, don't, you will not be sorry.

I really enjoyed watching this film. I couldn't get enough of it! I had to discipline myself in order to keep viewing time down to no more than 3 episodes a day (roughly 3 hours). When I wasn't watching it, I was thinking about it. Emperor of the Sea is a wonderful epic series and I would recommend it to everyone. My only critique is that the script gets really messy towards the end, as if the producers were running out of time and money. The plot doesn't really make sense as the film comes to a close and the characters' behaviors stray from their true nature. I won't say more though, because I don't want to give anything away. I'd be happy to discuss with others who have seen the film.

This DVD box looks nice but the video quality is very poor. A total of 4 DVD contains ALL 50 episodes. If you use a Region 1 DVD machine (U.S.)- there is no English subtitle, plus color/sharpness quality is VERY BAD. If you use an ALL REGION DVD machine, English subtitle appears and color/sharpness "somewhat" improved. BUT, if you are used to normal (not even HD) quality, you will have to like the story and actors enough to tolerate it. Sound quality is hollow like radio. Video quality is equivalent to VCD. Manufacturer is irresponsible in producing such low quality for a high retail price.

I don't own the DVD but we watched every single episode on our local Korean TV station here.

A lot better than what Hollywood has to offer
Good acting. Right mix of action and drama. Story never lets up. Excellent martial arts choreography. Most of it not fake looking.

Great Story Line
I enjoyed this movie from what I could watch from it. I got a poor bootleg copy and it goes in and out of focus the entire movie on all the DVDs. Read more

Totally hooked to it.
I learned about this series after watching actor Song Il Gook in JuMong. This series are almost as good as JuMong.

All I can say is it is amazingly good to me. Read more

riveting, deserves a larger US audience
Halfway through the 50-episode Korean telenovela, I'm hopelessly hooked. Each episode (a little more than one hour) has all the right ingredients: greed, ambition, betrayal,... Read more
