Olushayomi Nov 09 2021 11:54 am Such a brilliant actor, I didn't know he died

Taejo of Goryeo (31 January 877 Songak, Unified Silla – 4 July 943 (aged 66) Gaegyeong, Kingdom of Goryeo), also known as Taejo Wang Geon, was the founder of the Goryeo dynasty, which ruled Korea from the 10th to the 14th century. Taejo ruled from 25 July 918 to 4 July 943, achieving unification of the Later Three Kingdoms in 936.

Wang Geon was born in 877 to a powerful maritime merchant family based in Songak (modern Kaesong) as the eldest son of Wang Ryung. He traced his ancestry to a noble Goguryeo clan. His ancestors were Goguryeo refugees who settled around Songak, accumulating great wealth through maritime trade and gaining control of the region, including the Ryesong River. During the Later Silla period, the northern regions, including Songak, were the strongholds of Goguryeo refugees, and Wang Geon’s hometown of Songak would become the original capital of Later Goguryeo in 901.

Daeena Jun 18 2018 7:57 pm I already watched Scarlet heart ryeo, and isn't he played as King Taejo? Because it's stated there King Wanggun. I'm just asking, please correct me if i am wrong.

smirenost Mar 09 2018 11:02 am I've just heard abt this news today. What was shocking me is when I know he's the one who in the drama scarlet heart as a king of these prince's. This is so heartbreaking :(

Elcinta Mar 09 2018 3:09 am Found dead by today. They say it is suicide. Don't know what to say.

rashid kibwama Jun 30 2017 12:41 pm I love your movies coz you are great

cmpndvsn Oct 05 2016 7:42 pm This drama succeeds at being genuinely sexy. Though sometimes the comedic and romantic value of the story drags later on as it does in most shows as writers must to grapple with executing a plot that makes sense and is still as interesting as possible, the flame still flickers between the two characters though it has become fragile and must be worked around carefully as dense, factual and more sober atmosphere comes through in hopes of a dramatic plot climax. This is an example of a final pairing (or so I hope) that succeeded the initial introduction of potential romantic leads (iu and haneul)- though that was fun too. Jun ki looks more attractive here than any of his previous similar enterprises. Iu is charming, strong, coy, and human enough that I can easily want to live vicariously through her character. As a straight girl I am glad to recognize her charms. However, the same failings apply here as they do when buffy from buffy the vampire slayer went into a "depressive slump"- writers tend to lean on the plot twist of a Medical "depression" which unfortunately makes the story boring believe it or not and lazy. There are ways to depict a state of suffering that don't include us watching characters slump throughout entire episodes for the sake of 'plot device'. There are ways to keep the incessant vividness of reality and expressive complexity alive even through a " medical depression" and that is called fiction, fairy tales, magic, beautiful visuals, heroism, antiheroism, whatever it is please utilize it before this series sours after episode 13.

songhwa Sep 23 2016 4:37 pm So in Goryeo era, he is Taejo the founder of Goryeo and has Lee Joon Gi (wang So) as his son, in Joseon era, he was a king's servant Lee Won Ho (who was betrayed) and has son Joon Gi (Geom) too, then now in modern era, too bad this father and son are reincarnated as enemies. (Moon Lovers - Iljimae - Two Weeks)

tncdel Aug 22 2012 4:57 pm Doesn't "over-act," as many do in K-dramas. Adept at projecting understated reserve hinting at complexity of emotions.
