wow bokami ok thats a ringing endorsement if ever there was one :D its THAT good then.
i think yoona is the no.1 jumong fanatic here maybe im #2 or 3 :)
I think Jumong is an overrated drama. Yes, I only saw 3 episodes (*gasp*..lol) but I just couldn't submit myself to that torture anymore. It failed to impress me and I don't like wasting my time. I didn't like the way the whole parents story was played out. I didn't see love, all I can compare it to is a teenager's love for an idol and then, she finally meets him. Plus, I didn't like how Song Il Gook acted. Even then, I was skeptical to drop it because I had been wanting to watch something Song JiHyo in it and I love Bae Su Bin. But it had too many strikes in three episodes, I have dropped dramas for less. Again, I wasn't wasting my time on this when I could be watching talented eyecandy.
Bae Su Bin is in it ?!! That equals eye candy in my book :p

If you want to try it out, you should so you can decide for yourself. I'm just showing that not everyone loves Jumong and I think both sides of the coin should be shown. The first episode did look ok, but that quickly changed, for me. And yes, I know your thing against old dramas...lol
