Started watching the Korean dramas on TV and was looking for a good one to buy. Checked the reviews on Jumong and purchased Volume 1. I enjoyed it so much that when I started the last cd I got back on line to Amazon and ordered the remaining 3 Volumes (2-4). Expensive? Yes! But for me, it was well worth it. Fact is, it was very hard to stop once I got started, but getting up way before dawn, I had to force myself to stop each night. Needless to say, a few weekends not much got done around the house. Well, I did take a putt over to my HD dealer for morning coffee on Saturday mornings b'fore starting up the day watching more episodes.

A few days later I started back at Volumn 1 and since I knew the characters, things made more sense (to me). I'll be watching this series completely through again in the future. Oh yeah, one nice thing is that there are a couple of booklets provided. I read part of them at first, but read them through once I completed the last volumn. One other item I really appreciated is that the captions in English were on long enough for me to read. I've never like captions in the past, but I've enjoyed the Korean dramas so much that I've gotten used to and appreciate them being there (wouldn't understand a thing otherwise).

If you like these types of dramas, you will not be disappointed with this one.

Jumong is an amazing adventure series. Its as addicting as day time soap operas only better quality and amazing mysticism and story telling qualities that make you sit on the edge of your seat to see what happenes next.

The director seems to have created a new genre of movie, movie as a second home to live in, to return to again and again. Bears wisely hibernate away long, miserable winters and now so could we
but unlike them we could be utterly engaged and delighted.Did anyone notice the way our heroine reached out her hand and pulled a strand of Chumong's hair as he was laying on the ground from
his fight just before he made his beyond exquisite I HAVE SOMETHING TO TELL YOU speech to her. Notice the perfect " choreography" of their faces and facial expressions as he tries to tell her
who he really is and she in this budding love scene is half amused and half intrigued with this bold, "off the wall" stranger.Notice how the romantic violins come in just after he approaches her
and utters those magnificently charged words, "I have something to tell you." Pure genius on the part of the director and the two actors. A Korean glance, a Korean look can often replace
and "outmean" thousands of our own English words. In fact all human speech becomes so incredibly puny in so many of these incredible scenes.Bravo!!!

I love Korean television shows. They are so well done. Jumong is particularly excellent. Not only does it have that authentic look, but it is fast paced and exciting. Korean shows are emotional and heartfelt without being over done. The characters are interesting and you always want to know what will happen next. I wish American tv had half the soul of these shows. Jumong is one of the best of the best.

Most enjoyable. Keeps you engaged, wonderful characters - very realistic , Han Hye Jin is the best actress I've seen yet. Worth it

This is one of the best Korean historical dramas we have seen. The acting, customs, cinematography are all excellent. Just couldn't wait to continue watching the next episodes.
