Both are historical dramas aired around 2007 about two of the greatest Goguryeo kings. One being its legendary founder Jumong while the Damdeok in the Legend is historically more well known as "Gwanggaeto the Great". While Jumong have less fantastical elements than The Legend, the story Jumong itself is sparsely based on a legend that the first King Jumongs has mythical origins. The Legend meanwhile, shows Goguryeo and its character as somewhat a reincarnation/repeat of the mythical Jooshin characters. There are also two women that were very different from each but both love the main guy.
