Yup. Li was pretty scarry. I really had no idea how we were even going to have a happy ending with all her evil deeds. Fortunately, she did understand what was best for Tian in the end.

I honestly don't know what took me so long to watch this, but now that I have, I'll remember this family for a while.

This had everything in it, and then some. I had a strong urge to hug Tian multiple times while watching this for the continuous abuse he received. Poor guy!

He had the worst mother, but the best brother anyone could ask for. Tian and Jiu were great. I could not look away when they were on the screen together. They truly stole my heart.

It was happy, but not before they gave us all a heart attack...lol.

This drama had me smiling silly one minute and crying my eyes out the next.
Loved everything about it, from the actors to the OST. I especially loved the younger sister who stole the spotlight in all the scenes she was in.

Great watch about a difficult subject.

I did like this. The actors were great and I found the story interesting. Because I liked it, I wish it had more depth. I feel like we skimmed the surface of their story. It really left me wanting more.

Second remake I watched and I was pleasantly surprised. The leads did a great job. They stirred up so many emotions...it was definitely worth my time.

I was looking for some BL recommendations and I stumbled on your list. I have watched and enjoyed some of the dramas you listed and I am excited to explore some that I have I missed. I am so tired of University BLs, I need more depth in my characters.
BTW...I love your comments under each show....you got a way with words.

The vicious bullying made this a hard watch for me, but I felt compelled to watch Dongeun's story.
Part 1 was great, her drive for revenge gave her the strength to survive. I'm off to see the fruits of her careful planned revenge in part 2.

I really cant say much after only 2 episodes, but I like the vibe of this. Tired if all the fluff, so this fits my current mood. Looking forward to the next episodes.

That was a good one. Not much romance, but it was such an inspirational story. Have fun!!!

Wow what a mess! At least now I have closure.

Beautiful, heartbreaking story. This was such a great watch with great acting from all. I have seen the Korean remake, and although I like that version, I loved the original more.

Oh wow, I admire your persistence. If something doesn't grasp me, I drop it asap. Hopefully your next drama will be better.

Here are some highlights of the important episodes. I tried not spoil you too much.
33 -jumong goes missing.
35 -soseono makes an important decision
36 - we meet new important character
43 -jumong gets married and makes a decision that makes his friends feel betrayed
45 - jumong rescues the refugees
46 to 72 - lots of fighting, palace politics, more important characters are introduced and we loose some of our beloved characters.
73 - uniting the tribes and founding of Goguryeo
74 - 15 years later...Yuri

To me, it was a great watch. However, since there are 81 episodes, some of them are definitely slower than others. At episode 29, he is just starting to figure out what his purpose in life is.

Episode 62 is when he unites multiple tribes and we fist hear the name goguryeo

What a great journey this was!
I disliked Jumong in the first few episodes, but his character grew so much that I can honestly say, he is one of my favourite characters ever!

At a time when most dramas seem silly and shallow, I was looking for a story that had depth and heart... and this delivered. Dont be intimidated by the number of episodes, Jumong is worth your time.

Just completed it!!!

That hasn't happed up to episode 33. I'm guessing it will be toward the end of the drama.

Im having such fun watching this
