She leads and turns the Nakrang Army into an invincible army after winning many battles. Afterwards, her life is threatened by Ra-hee and her mother, Wang Ja-sil. Ja-myung becomes furious at her half sister, Ra-hee, when Ra-hee marries Prince Ho-dong.

Ra-hee is forced to pull out her sword to kill her half sister Ja-myung.

MJ Feb 23 2022 12:59 am I am glad I came across this drama even though it was first released a while back, while searching for good dramas and specifically historically set dramas. I commend the producers, director, scriptwriter and cast of this drama. Casting of main characters was great, especially the kings and queens. The queens were beautiful as well as they were excellent actresses unlike the new generation of actresses many whom are so-so average in acting and looks. New actresses seem to be mass produced.

Hodong character could have been cast with a more robust-looking actor (as the lead actor was a bit too slim). The Great General of Nakrang was particularly appealing and came out very masculine, also great acting! The costumes were very beautiful! The script was very eloquent, deep and intelligent. The sequence of events was never dull and it kept one going episode after episode in anticipation. The sad and tragic ending of the ill-fated lovers was to be anticipated. It is like a Korean version of Romeo and Juliet.

This is one of the best historical dramas I had seen along with Empress Ki. Congratulations to the producers, actors and production team!

Guilty_pleasure Jan 22 2022 2:24 am From all character in this drama, I hate Choi Ree the most. He describes the perfect hypocrite human ever !!

Wang Ja sil character is much more genuine than him

Pono Sep 12 2019 2:01 am To this day this is my favorite drama. I enjoy historical dramas the most. This is a very tragic story of star-crossed love, a "romance of the three kingdoms" spin, with an excellent cast and soundtrack. This, Full House, and Winter Sonata are my top 3 shows that have high replay value!

Yiya Herbert Aug 24 2017 1:28 pm It was a good movie cast

Lee Seo Hwa Jan 11 2017 8:15 am Ah Muyhyul and Choo Balsoo character from kingdom of the winds is alive to this drama OMG :,)

Lubega Ismail Dec 21 2016 1:36 am Princess Ja Myung Is One Of The Best Dissappointing Korean Serie

Beansprout Apr 24 2016 5:24 am I cried many times... its hard to love isn't it? mixed feelings.... But its one of the greatest but heartbreaking dramas.. I love the flow the story.. THe love between hodong and puku was great. its just that the burden bet. 2 kingdoms affect their love so much... can they just become puku and hodong?not jamyung and hodong?Their love was a tragedy but dont be discourage coz I think that the ending was ok.. You will love the story of them and how hodong really want to change his mind to become a king and be with puku...

Jung kyung ho never disappointed me. he's the best actor. how come he can portray different roles..his eyes really amazed me..I really want him to look at me with those eyes... hahaha...warning: beware of his smile.. :) Jung Ryeo Won did a good job. im starting to watch history of the salaryman..

OST is in my playlist.. it makes my heart feel so much sadness for them... I definitely watch it again..

GUYS. its a must watch drama.. u will fall inlove with the story..Like romeo and juliet style..

Bonseon Apr 22 2016 5:42 am BEWARE , Many impolite people posted spoilers!

olach Mar 08 2016 6:37 pm my ultimate favorite ,i like the actors and everything about the drama

Catherine Jan 27 2015 7:13 am Hmmm...I loved d series very much, I usually watch it into late hours of the night. it made me cry a lot! And why did Jamyung & Hodong have to die? Thought they were going to get married & have beautiful kids! That would have made me happier. Pls can you release the remaining episodes? I will love to know the real details! Is Jamyung | Hodong married? They should be together. Thank you.

mezzy Dec 31 2014 11:26 pm If only Ja myung ended with the Head General, I would have not regret watching this drama. I just hate Ho dong! He is dumb. The Head General has always been selfless and his love is pure unlike that Ho dong who will do disgusting things and has the nerve to flirt with Ja myung when he's already taken and killed everyone??? how disgusting.

gabiferdi Sep 22 2014 4:42 am I love this drama. Best drama i ever seen. I wan't more episodes , perhaps season 2. I love Jung Kyoung Ho and Jung Ryeo Won. I don't know why are rating low? Why did you kill all the characters?

mira Sep 14 2014 3:17 am very interesting drama with excellent casts.......Jung Kyung Ho.....excellent

jane Aug 18 2014 12:09 pm Dis drama was the best bt seriously d ending was nothing to write home about. We were meant to believe dat she hardly die and always escapes death until she fulfill her destiny. So y wld she die at d end, dis is really a tradegy

rostiani Aug 07 2014 12:25 pm This drama is so outrageous truth ... how come all the main cast die, but only this time I do not get tired of seeing Korean dramas to 39 eps. I think it's actually very responsible ,, why not 50 eps. :( But honestly this time I also like to play with the end of a sad story especially between Hodong ja myung and they both fight for his country but not lost their love for each other, the eps. Was last seen also expressions ja myung looks angry and frustrated with gougoryo but look in his eyes was not lost his love for Hodong Hodong as well as acting and their chemistry is incredible. anyway I want season 2 !! pleaseee SBS :p but I do not want to wish ja myung said it would be life as a mother Hodong next life, I wanted her to be the mother of the children Hodong :) * love this drama ever <3

Jamsy Jul 17 2014 10:46 am This is the most interestng drama ever so entertaining,fantastic an classic,plz an plz we need season 5&6 even if it will be up to season 9 we still want it thanx.i luv every thing about the drama

Hannah Jun 27 2014 11:12 pm This is one of the best historical dramas I've ever seen. I love how the chemistry and love shown between Jamyung and Hodong. The two have had such similar experiences and pain in their lives. From an early age, both had deathly experiences with their parents. Hodong with his step mother, the Queen and Jamyung being abandoned and killed for questioning reasons. Betwenn Queen Seondeok and Ja Myung Go, I would choose Ja Myung Go to watch over and over again. I REALLY WISH THEY DID THE FULL 50 EPISODES! Maybe the ending would be less sad... The ending is still really touching though

choco Apr 24 2014 7:08 am just found out about "Due to low ratings "Jammyeonggo" was shortened from its initial 50 episode schedule to 39 episodes." T_______T I don't get it. whyyy?? was it really that low? ughhhh If it wasn't shorten, maybe.. just maybe, there would hav been a diff ending? :<

Nally Mar 23 2014 3:29 pm it is unforgettable drama ,amazing , heart touching epic, thank you thank you for making it ,the script ,the actors ,the directing,the ost ... all are great all i love this drama felt my mind and my heart its one of a kind and the end was an epic

umayyra ann Feb 15 2014 4:58 am I love this drama and the casts especially Jung Ryeo Won and Jung Kyoung Ho. The ending was really sad, would have loved it if they could be together in marriage and not in death. This drama deserves very good ratings.

dellaneira leoly Jan 21 2014 5:24 pm I really love this drama. It was very dramatic, sad, but also warm. The drama really touched my heart that i couldn't help but crying almost all of the drama series. The family or monarch's conflicts really trahic and very painful. Especially, about Hodong and jamyung's childhood. They have endured so much or maybe too much... those painful past was really hard to bear. And the ending... that was the most tragic but also most romantic ending i've ever seen. Good job the drama. I do not get it why it got low rate, though. I think.. it is a masterpiece.

cvang010 Nov 23 2013 3:52 pm i really enjoy watching this drama! Prince Hodong daebak! idk why the rating was low.

Kim Oct 16 2013 1:43 am I really like this movie, the never changing love of a prince, hodong, and the divided love of a princess, jamyung, to him and her country. They look good together. Unfortunately they have to cut the story short. Great movie!

Nantogmah malik Oct 02 2013 3:09 pm It is dramatic and filled with suspends

Lucy Sep 28 2013 3:57 am I'm somewhat confused by the last scene where puku says She wants to be reborn as hodongs mother and that "you love lahee"... Was she trying to tell him to love her sister in the next life??

Segun Sep 12 2013 5:18 pm Why did the ending have to be that way? It ended very sadly. Really very touchy.. Left me in grief

JC Sep 06 2013 7:40 pm If you can bear through the childhood part of the series (I found both the two girls playing the princesses so annoying at times), this drama gets really good and exciting.

tuyen nguyen Aug 23 2013 11:51 pm i like this film .romantic ,love hodong & jamyung

joemarine Jun 14 2013 5:07 pm i hate this movie wit all my life, mr director y did u allow such a movie. At first it was interestin but the latter was annoying. Mtcheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew.

Lena Jun 12 2013 6:42 pm I love this drama!! It's so sad but I still recommend for anyone to watch it!! It was different and the storyline is so good! It's a pity it got knock down to 39 episodes and not very popular but any-who, I still enjoyed it! OST's is awesome too! :) The casts were AWESOME!

Charity May 21 2013 8:38 am I love u prince,puku nd ha brother. I love u as puku and not as princess.

Jessica Liu Apr 24 2013 6:59 am I love Ja Myung and Hodong. Ja Myung has an unhappy life since she was born. But she's very strong. She got over all difficulties but the ending is very sad

lara croft Mar 11 2013 4:25 am princess rahee chungmal sarangheyeso! You did great!

Lileen Jan 31 2013 3:56 pm Love this drama, if you like dramas with True love which grows day by day, jealousy and twist. Then this is a drama for you. I really enjoyed it. One of the best Ever

Ps. The beginning is a bit slow, so you can just skip some parts.

Kenny Aug 22 2012 4:26 pm I love this film i cant just stop watching it over and over again ve been watching film this one seems touching,prince hodong and jamyung i love u both

ghazal Aug 18 2012 3:25 pm i dont want to say something..but...i love Ra-He...because she loved hodong and hodong didn't love Ra-He

exquisitejade May 20 2012 8:45 pm the comment about kingdom of the wind. it is kinda what happend after that show goes off cause it has king daemusin in his later years. as you know his first wife was of low class which was the reason why prince ho-dong had a hard time getting the throne. so no, princess ja myung go does not have any relation to king daemusin. It helps if you watch kingdom of the wind before watching this show as well just because it gives you some reason and irony on why the king is the way he is. Wanting to conquer so much and the feud with his son after he also had a bad realtionship with his parents, then his parents with his grandparents. its and endless cycle of feuds over thrones and territory.

ayo@lag Apr 07 2012 11:55 am Really love this movie,I could not get enough of prince hodong and princess jamung! They are top artistes and I wish them the best in future endeavours. Also thumbs up for princess nakrang, wang jasil, great general hol, king daemushin and others too numerous to mention... Its a good advert of korea, great people, great nation.

vhinzpaul Aug 25 2011 8:58 pm do you know were to find the English softsub for this drama?..plzzzz post the link..thank you so much....Park Min Young is so cute...
