MBC's Sageuk 주몽 (Jumong) Becomes Major Hit

(Posted In Action Asia Drama TV )

jumongdaebak.jpgPresenting Master Choi Wan-Gyu's latest work a couple of weeks ago, we jokingly said if there was anything likely to hit the 20% Ratings soon on TV this year, that'd certainly be 주몽 (Jumong). With a pretty incredible start and two episodes with production values in line with the best of Chungmuro (they cost over 2 Billion Won. That's a little less than 2/3 of the average budget for an entire Miniseries), the Historical Drama starring Song Il-Guk, Han Hye-Jin, Oh Yeon-Soo and a host of other stars started with a bang. Although later episodes slowed down the intensity a little, it was only to further setup the initial outline, thing that is writer Choi's forte, and he's probably the best in the business at that.

Ratings saw a gradual increase, from the 16.3% of the first episode to 28.7% of the 6th last week. But when Monday's 7th Episode slowed down and scored a 27.9% people thought things had now stabilized, and we'd see ratings similar to SBS' 서동요 (The Ballad of Seo Dong), which in its final run recorded ratings in the mid 20s. But then yesterday's Episode changed everything: Jumong was seen by 32.3% of the viewing population last night, which is the third highest rating of the year. With Hur Joon-Ho's impressive turn as Hae Mosu now coming to an end, and the two major characters (Song Il-Guk's Jumong and Han Hye-Jin's Soseono) entering the field the Drama will now start enveloping its main storyline, after dealing with the introductory first few episodes. Ratings should go even higher, and although expecting feats like the 50.5% of last year's 내 이름은 김삼순 (My Lovely Sam-Soon) is a little far-fetched for now, we can be sure of a few things:

1) Jumong should have no problem claiming the top spot as this year's Most Popular Drama.
2) MBC's decision to focus on Historical Dramas during the week paid off handsomely, as their past Miniseries did pretty badly, but now Jumong is destroying competition. This Mon/Tue Night slot will become similar to what KBS was doing with its historical Dramas, as after this in Late January we're getting another Sageuk, 대무신왕 (King Daemushin).
3) The more popular this thing becomes, the more likely it will see a DVD Release. And if the first 5-6 episodes are of any indication, it'll be well worth the high price its 60 Episodes will command.

The show will skip next week because of the World Cup, so if you still have some catching up to do, this is the best of times. As always, more ratings, news and other info in the K-Drama Hub.

I have no doubt that EP 8's higher rating was due to the super enticing previews for it ... and the return of Haemosu!

jumong is the no 1 drama series for me as of now... after the jewel in the palace... but still i wondering about the end of the stories. last day i bought dvd of jumong. i jump the chapter and strted to watch the last chapter. but i guess the stories still un finish although i watched the last chapter of the DVD jumong which is chapter 60? the stories ends in when jumong's mother escape the palace with jumong's wife and son. in the middlde of the battle? is that the ends of the stories.... anyway i really enjoy watching jumong.

ToMs. Jaydel Gravador , what you buy was still not the end Of the episode of jumong ,, I already buy the next episodes and the stories has change a lot .. Damul Army will now discover the secret formula to make a armor steel that cannot be broken easily .. Jumong also will attack Hyeonto and the Damul will become much more stronger .. They will also cativate the Han nation .. Jumong will kill King geaumwa .. Jumong will declare the KING OF THE NEW NATION..
You have to watch dear .. jumong last episodes was still airing in KOREA .. So nobody still have the last episodes for now .. What you bought was only Vol. 1,2, and three , there are still 4,5,6,7 and 8 ..
I also read the Ratings on JUMONG and it's up to 50.6% in the episode 79 ...

» Posted by michelle at March 12, 2007 04:04 AM

Yes! It's a great story with best choice of actors and actresses. I love this one because of the character exemplified by Jumong as a good leader : Humble, good motivator, full of charisma, strategist, combat skills, decisive, goal focus, loyal and most of all prayerful before taking any action.Another one is his ability to choose his "disciples-his elite warrior-officials" who could really help him realized his cause.

» Posted by Ramil A. Quiapo at March 12, 2007 05:32 AM

Sa wakas natapos ko rin......... hahahhaa....Very Good Story, full of emotion and cast are good!!!!. though masakit sa mata kasi mabilis ang caption at young pagtranslate sa english medyo mali. but as the story goes, you know what is happening.kaya lang medyo bitin yung ending kasi narrated na lang ang pagkamatay ni jumong at daisu. at kung paanu naka survive si so seo no at dalawa nyang anak to build a new kingdom.

» Posted by Lemuel Moreno at March 13, 2007 09:50 PM

kahit napanood nyona sa dvd hope watch din kau sa channel 7 para tumaas angrating ng jumong kasi bumababa.. ako tapos ko na lahatng episode but im keep watching it sa 7just for the ratings..if you really love jumong watch it.....

We are geothermal power plant engineers here in Ormoc City, Philippines. We watch Jumong on night shifts because we have a portable 14" TV in the locker. He he he. Our supervisors watch too. So there is no problem with that. Anyway, the power plant is 100 percent automated.

GMA-7 should re-air this series after its ending in an earlier slot.

Korean dramas are so spectacular, fantastic, wonderful and great. I used to watched Emporer of the Sea before and I thought this is the biggest thing that Korea can produce but not until I saw Jumong. I was fascinated with the set, the custumes and more - but more than that the story was so great. If there is one thing I idolized the Korean's much, it is their greatness in writing great stories for drama as what they have proven before in their other dramas...

grabe......ang ganda ng jumong nakakainspire sia...........sana punta sia dito sa pilipinas with so seo no...manonood talaga ako..manood kayong lahat kay jumong....hnd lang maganda may magandang lwsson pa..pero sa totoo lang ang guapo ni jumong

so far, this is the best Korean series to ever hit the market..
I admire the way the actors portray their respective characters as if it was really them...
Nice show!!!
I even bought a DVD...
Go...Go...Go
Jumong!

» Posted by John Ray at March 27, 2007 06:21 AM

this is my #1 in my heart...JUMONG...and tied along with JEWEL IN THE PALACE.

But Jumong's astig level is higher than JEWEL of course!

I really love this show. All you ever look for a show is here:

• IT CAN MAKE YOU FEEL BEDAZZLED WITH ACTION SCENES AND GUFFAW WITH
THE DUMBEST ATTACKS MADE BY THE HANS AND DAESO'S COHORTS.
• IT CAN MAKE YOU CRY WITH SOME DEATH SCENES OF HAEMOSU, LADY YOOHWA,
AND JUMONG'S LETTING GO OF PEOPLE WHO ARE PRECIOUS TO HIS HEART
• LOTS OF LOVETEAMS....AND THERE IS ONE HELLUVA' AMAZING LOVETEAM:
THE SAYONG-HYEOPBO LOVETEAM! THERE ARE LOTS OF LOVE TRIANGLES
THAT NO OTHER DRAMA HAVE.
• YOU WILL FEEL INSPIRED BY JUMONG'S SACRIFICES AND ABILITY TO
OVERCOME HARDSHIPS TO SUCCESS, AS WELL AS YEON TABAL'S RIGHTEOUS WAY
OF HANDLING BUSINESS, PROFIT-MAKING AND NEGOTITION.
• IT WILL MAKE YOU SEE THAT BUYEO COUNTRY'S SITUATION IS NOT VERY FAR
FROM THE ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL SITUATION OF OUR COUNTRY,
PHILIPPINES.
• YOU WILL FEEL TOUCHED BY JUMONG'S ART OF LETTING GO AND HUMILITY,
AS WELL AS FALLING FOR HIS AFFECTIONATE MOVES. YOU MAY ADMIRE HIM
WITH THIS , THOUGHTFUL, "MALAMBING" AND "CARIÑOSO" APPROACH TO
PEOPLE AROUND HIM EVENTHOUGH PANNED
AS "USELESS", "DUMBASS", "HEDONIST"...ETC...ETC..
• NAKAKA-TOUCH DIN ANG SELFLESS SHARING OF KNOWLEDGE NI HAEMOSU.
• NAKAKA-TOUCH DIN ANG PAGKAMPI NI YEO MI-EUL KAY JUMONG, PAG-ALALAY
PAG-SUPPORTA...KAHIT ANG PAG-ALAY NG BUHAY SA ISANG UWAK NA
MAY TATLONG PAA.
• IT CAN MAKE YOU LAUGH WITH NATURAL COMEDIC PROWESS WITH SOME
BITING PUNCHLINES OF MO PAL-MO, MUSONG, MARI, OHYI, HYEOPBO
AND GYE-PHIL.
• IT JUST WAY GIVES YOU THE ENERGY...
• POWERFUL CASTING
• SENSIBLE AND INSPIRING STORYLINE
• UNIQUE STORY

THERE ARE SO...SO...MANY OF THEM I CAN'T DESCRIBE. JUMONG IS JUST WAY WONDERFUL.

AND BEFORE I FORGET....

I'M FALLING FOR MY NEW "LOVE"....SONG IL-GOOK!

i really liked this show.. i guess mostly because of the main characters, jumong and so seo no they look so great together.. although so seo no is not jumong's first wife, i like the part where they were wedat the time that kokuryeo has become an established land with jumong as its king. also the supporting characters added vibrance tot his show, hae mo su jumongs father, king gyeum wa and the very pretty mother of jumong, lady yu hwa.

» Posted by Raine Asuncion at April 2, 2007 11:39 PM

hello there!!!i really like this show...at first, i thought this would not be a big hit, that's why i diddn't watch the first week of its airing and to tell you the truth the only reason why i start to watch this is because of so seo no, her character there was very unique, a strong yet a "mataray" one, then I just found myself got hooked up with the story and now i became addicted to it!

you may also like to download the sub-titled episodes for those who

incidentally, the jumong entire cast and crew (except for jumong and
yeongpo) were here in cebu march 7-11 to take a long awayed vacation
after their shooting. they stayed at mactan shangri-la island resort ....

tsk...tsk....i love jumong (king domyeongseong of goguryeo-the first king or the founder of the goguryeo monarchy, one of those three kingdoms of korea)at the very beginning or before it has been aired in GMA 7...he's indeed an excellent actor....he really portrates a good leader not just for a country but also for his ownself and for his family...there's no doubt that he successfully carried such a big kingdom because of his quality, ability or skills,loyalty and faith..he trully loves his country to the fact that he's willing to sacrifice just to give the glory and triumph claimed by his people during their fights for their rights...jumong is the great history maker of all times...why?because he captivates the trust and love of the people during his time and on this time...thus,until now, his kingdom is still shining among those myriad of kingdoms and monarchies...(gosh!!)..."tama ba?"but...we are the jumong addicts...i love it not only because of song Il gook, who is very handsome or yummy (ngee!!),and so seo noh, who is very pretty and talented, but also because of the story and the other characters who did a great job...i haven't yet watch the the whole episodes on a dvd since i am on a remote area but if back to the city, i will find one...now, i am still trying to remain the good rating of the tv series so, even if i am very sleepy i do watch it every night unless-there's a brown out or black out....let's make the highest rating of all times!!!(a message for those jumong-ers)...furthermore, i would like to express my gratitude to GMA 7 for airing such a very nice asianovela,then now i am very proud to be "asiano" because of those spectacular movies and tv series...i know, you too...i will never either hope or wish but i want jumong and so seo noh visit our unorganize country to see and be captivated by the beauty behind that description and those descriptions....good work asianos....keep it up!!!

I love jumong!!my gudnez!!!go KAPUSO!!!

trivia:
SIG has an upcoming drama on Sept. entitled “The Lobbyists”(aka ANGEL).Han Jae-suk and Jang Ji-young will also be starring here.About the lead actress..it’s not yet sure because it should be Kim Tae-hee but her side had already declined to accept the poject and so there are rumors stating that Yoon Eun-hye will change KTH as the lead actress.But as for now the project is still on negotiating because SIG side hasn’t yet signed the contract.The filming will start on May.

i'm on of the million fans of jumong, graveh its a blockbuster hit na sa pinas dinaig pa ang summer!!! Actually'i've already finished watching the whole chapters and it was really great,jumong's story was really inspiring, it was just sad to know that he died at the early age of 40...well sulit pa rin ang mga gabing pagpu2yat ko just to see Song Il-Gook,he's really a good actor and he's hot too!!! How i wish that the whole cast will visit the philippines coz they have a lot of fans here...more power sa career ni song il-gook and i love u so much!!!

» Posted by reignrose at April 21, 2007 05:56 AM

nung unang panood ko ng Jumong,,akala ko d ko magugustuhan pero nung napanood ko n ung second episode nag-umpisa ko n magustuhan...ung Tatay kasi ni Jumong nasi Hemosu..bumilib ako..kc i really admire his courage,,pnaglalaban nya ang paniniwala nya, d sumusuko agad at the same time iniisip nya rin yung kapakanan ng iba..tapos nung tumagal pa..napahanga rin ako ni Jumong dhil kagaya nya rin ang tatay nya..lupet!!!,,like Father like Son...minsan natutuwa p ako s leading lady ni Jumong,,C Lady Sho-Shono..kamuka nya ung crush ko..kya medyo natutuwa ako pg-nakikita ko ung babaeng un s palabas...Ang isa pang nagustuhan ko d2 ay ang pag develope ni Jumong s storya..una wala sya masyadong kakayahan para maki-pag laban s mga kalaban pero nung tumagal..umunlad sya..magandang halimbawa sya s ibang tao kung pano umudlad ang kasanayan ng isang tao..dhil kay Jumong medyo sumipag ako...kakataw isipin pro 22o..kaya pasalamat n lng din ako s palabas nato...my moral lesson talaga n naiibibigay kahit iba pa ang sistema ng pamumuhay nila dati kung ikukumpara s kasalukuyan...2 thumbs up tlaga ako d2 s Jumong!!!

JUMONG is a great, exciting series! Me and my family stay up so late.. until 4 in the morning to watch it. if we don't have much tasks, we even watch it the whole day! I recommend everybody to watch it. An unraveling story of heroism, nationalism, history, love, revenge, conquering of tribes.. just totally GREAT!! pls. watch it guys! I hope you'd watch it on GMA 7 too to have high ratings.. not just on dvd. God bless to all!!

I hope the whole cast gets to visit the Philippines soon.. most especially Song Il-Gook (Jumong) and Han Hye-Jin (So Seono).

TWO THUMBS UP!!! THE BEST!!!!!!!

Yeahhh i Love it.... I reaLLy Love Jumong.. he's my no.1 idoL.. i wanna make Love with him ... XD

well i really love to see Jumong and even encourage my son to see it...

the Filipino words being used here is just right for my son's need to improve his native tongue.

Plus the war and management tactics are coming out to life more appealing than those in management books... just that ofcourse..... the element of surprise is dragging my patience down.

telenovela what else.. so what .. i just love this one!!

hi Jumong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The best asian novela i've ever seen after lovers in paris.....jumongs cast are very good actors and actresses, hope that phil. industry can make novels like Jumong. The character of Jumong encourages me in real life to fight back if you feel you are right, never give up as they say. Hope GMA 7 will have it reply, kahit matagal very patient naman ako manood kahit late time in the evening uli. The best talaga ang Kapuso GMA 7!

Well at first i just ignored the first screening of Jumong Coz its very late but b4 i used to watch jewel in the palace, and then as i seen in the commercials i got interested and ten get addisted hehe... Then buy DVD for continues watching always late n rin me matulog, WOW very great Kttpos ko p nga lng panoorin last nyt upto chapter 81 the last episode seem kinda bitin.... NAiyak aq nung namaty ung isang general ni Jumong.Sad part eh yung umalis n sina Sao Xinu para lng wag magkaroon ng rivalry for the next position of the emperor between the real son of Jumong which is Lui li and sa mga anak nyang 2 k Wute. Grabe ok n sana... Pero I'll say its the best ASIAN DRAMA yet.

Hi, been done so many comments already with regards to the tv miniseries "Jumong", it is really a fantastic, superb asnd amazing story and I think, I have fallen in love with Jumong or should I say Song Il-kook. As a matter of fact, I printed 2 of his pictures in the internet and have it laminated and displayed in my office table. I already finished watching the whole 81 episodes, but I still want to watch more. I still watch the same show every night coz I want to see Jumong. Is it possible to get the email ad of Song Il-kook, doe he speak english. Please reply.
