i want read comment about this drama but everyone comment its not about this drama…i bought this drama but i still cant finished coz beginning in this drama its so bored so i stop watching…but 1 day i will finished coz i love Song Il Gook in jumong,kingdom of wind n a man called god…

I watched the beginning of the drama for a few minuite than stopped because I watched it online and it was so slow because it keeps buffering. Besides, the way it was shown at the beginning it seems that the end would be very sad. i was devastated over Jumong and KOTW’s endings so I didn’t want to continue to watch it. Later I looked at the view on Amazon.com, someone said the movie has a very good story line and the actors are excellent and their whole famity enjoy. I now have this drama in my collection but i’m too busy to watch it. i will definitely watch it on my flight to Hawaii this summer.

why do people talk about crime squad in discussion for other dramas like this one or a man called god? why don’t you post in “crime squad” page instead?

i’m watching this drama, half way through. so far so good!
June 30th, 2011 at 2:34 am
i’m 3/4 way to the end. i started to hate the main female character so much.
July 1st, 2011 at 9:08 am
just finished this movie. it’s not the best but it’s worth watching. the story line is good and at least thank god for the happy ending.

just finish watching chapter 10 now, will proceed soon. halfway with the film, i find it very interesting. it is a kind of film that exposes about arms deal, the business of armaments: to kill people and encourage war but always the advantage of those engaged and of the profit they can get. It also exposes military VIPs and generals involved/engaged in arm deals and the commission they can get and their connection to other underworld. good this kind of film is not banned because i can relate it. similar is happening in our country in reality, that is why the film interests me. thanks although what made me buy a copy because of song il guk who becomes very popular through jumong.

I love this movie, in fact it is a thriller movie and all the main casts were damn good. One should appreciate this movie, to me it was not boring and I really love the movie/ actions/traitor/love/faith n hope , it is rare to watch a Korean movie like this, though it was already some years and I missed it, so I just watched it and I enjoyed watching to movie, both Harry & Maria in this movie were real good in their acting..so I do not agree with those who mentioned it boring or they do not like actress Maria, she is real good to me.
