"Addiction! Jumong is in one word Addiction! The actors are wonderful, there is not one powerful moment throughout the whole series that isn't believeable and intense. Sayong and Hypbo are a few of my favorites and Mapalmo! I also loved Yuntabal. Oh hell! I love them all, from King Kumwa to the terribly evil Daesou.
The series explores every political motive, and you can see each decision made no matter how good or how evil is one that is agonized over before committing to it and even afterward they steel themselves to the consequences of their actions. Even while they breathe a sigh of relief every time their lives are spared.
Throughout the whole series I scream at my monitor, behead the snake, behead him! He's betrayed you and makes you a puppet too many times! Listen to the Gods! Listen to your people Kumwa, join your hands and fate with Jumong! There is no watching just one episode, you have to watch it to its very end."

"Great Korean drama. This final volume is a must see.
The special features at the end are great. I enjoyed the ending theme song as the final credits rolled. Also, the interview with cast and director was very good.
