The Kingdom of the Wind starring Song Il Kuk and Choi Jung Won

The Kingdom of the Wind is a big budget historical thriller that captivated audiences and won multiple KBS drama awards in 2008. This is a no nonsense epic (especially when compared to Strongest Chil Woo) featuring beautiful cinematography and score as well as lots of grand battle scenes, conspiracies, political intrigue, and assassination plots.

The Kingdom of the Wind is a story about Muhyul, and the third king of Koguryeo who was also called the god of wars. Muhyul is the grandson of Jumong but was born with a supposed curse to kill his parents, siblings, son, and destroy the country. His father, King Yuri, was horrified by this prophecy but couldn’t get himself to kill his own child. So he orders his elder son, Haemyung, to take baby Muhyul outside the palace to live as a commoner who doesn’t know anything about his true identity. Through the course of 36 episodes, Muhyul goes through many trials and tribulations to defy his nefarious fate, and eventually emerges as a powerful king.

The Kingdom of the Wind is well acted and directed, and stars Song Il Kuk in the lead role of Muhyul. Incidentally, Song also played the main role in Jumong where he was Muhyul’s grandfather. Enjoy!

Also known as Country of Wind or The Land of Wind. Visit our friends at Drama Wiki and Hancinema for additional information about this drama.

My Rating: Okay, but not as good as Jumong! You can't help but compare it to Jumong considering that it's both with Song Il Kook! In 'Jumong', I absolutely loved his chemistry with Han Hye Jin (Soh Suh Noh) but unfortunately, there were rarely any development into their relationship until sometime during the second half. Even with that, it didn't feel nearly as satisfying! I've enjoyed Song Il Kook in both Kdramas but I admit that I do prefer him in 'Jumong'. Action scenes were good and of course, there were drama and angst, just like in other historical Kdramas. In addition, 'Kingdom of Winds' DID focus more on the romantic aspect, but the chemistry between Song Il Kook & Choi Jung Won was not as nearly as great as the chemistry he had with Han Hye Jin from 'Jumong' which is dissappointing. In fact, I didn't care as much about Princesss Yeon or her relationship with Prince Mu Hyul as I thought I would. Therefore, I do applaud KOTW's effort of attempting to follow 'Jumong', but it fell short of its expectations. My rating: C-

Grrr!!! I seriously hate the Crown princess aka. Biryu woman/ evil woman! I'm not going to say anymore cause that'd be a spolier, but mann, she's soo damnn annoying!! Whoo, now that i got that off my chest, this is a really great drama, i didn't wholly get into until Song Il Gook came on, but it's soooo nicee to feel complete after watching Jumong's somewhat frustrating end. This series, although seperate from Jumong, is somewhat related and I really enjoyed it. And the awsome thing about this drama is its ost. I downloaded three songs, but I want the rest :( Anyways, the whole series was great!!! Definitely recommend it :))

I loved it I liked this drama so much because it was so exciting when Prince Moo Hyu was with his brother without knowing his real identity. And its romantic scenes were perfect. I really liked it and i think Prince Hae Myeong (Lee Jong Won) had acted great. He was just the right person for the role.

atrocious subbing Learnt a new word the other day. "Your Highness, I must go micturate." Apparently, micturate means urinate. I gotta use it sometime. Dude, I gotta go micturate. If you really wanna cry like a girl, watch The Snow Queen. It had me sobbing like a 13yr old girl for a whole week. No other drama had done it to me b4. I'm not kidding.

so far Just started, after finishing Jumong took time off before starting this somewhat sequel. After seeing all the trouble Jumong went through, it troubles me to think that his future generations will also have the strife and problems, he ran away from. Ha, the staple of every historical drama, the political fights and warring parties. Also, wow so much over acting going on, it's like the actors watched older period dramas and are mimicking the roles. Honestly, Jumong should not have acted in this, it kinda cheapens the original.

Yeon Well first off second time watching this. Yeon has a total of three facial expressions in her repertoire. Her sad face, happy face, and unsure face, honestly her performance is alright, yet she lacks facial expressions that she could use. Also wish it was little longer like Jumong, doesnt necessarily need to be 81 episodes, but more wouldn't hurt. I don't know who he is, but the guy that plays Sanga also plays the Keru Chief in Jumong Sosono's father. I like that laugh he does when he's betrayed by his clan in both series. He can laugh in any serious situation, lol.

Loved It! This is a very good sequel of Jumong. Just the right number of episodes and each episode has the right amount of action, suspense, and romance. The only thing that was so-so for me was the acting of Princess Yeon - sometimes stoic and unemotional. But overall still a great historic k-drama!
