i have watched the other story of king gwanggaeto the great, that drama was entitled “the first kings four gods” otherwise known as “the legend”. and it was a good story because it depicts the story of the great king’s life in his younger days. and for sure this latest story of his life tackles his conquest as an adult and mature king. i just hope that this historical drama will once again be aired in the philippines.:)

The Greatest King LEE TAE GON….. Ajar Ajar Fighting…..
June 19th, 2011 at 3:09 pm
Actor Lee Tae Gon plays the protagonist named Dam Deok (King Gwanggaeto) in KBS 1TV’s historical drama “Gwanggaeto, The Great Conqueror (directed by Kim Jong Sun),” which will begin airing from June 4, and his stills taken on the set with the image of a great conqueror were unveiled for the first time.
On the unveiled stills, Lee Tae Gon revealed the realistic portrayal of a great king with his sword, bow, armor, and costume along with his facial expressions filled with emotion. In particular, with his 185 centimeter height and the fit physique of a former swimming trainer, he played the role of a king with the best appearance of a king among all those in Korean historical dramas. Actor Kim Seung Soo, who plays a friend of Dam Deok and strategist named Ko Won, said, “Lee Tae Gon’s appearance and personality are very close to the images that I have imagined about the great king Gwanggaeto. He will become a king who really looks like a king among actors who have played kings in dramas so far.” He gave unreserved praise to Lee Tae Gon. Lee Tae Gon will first appear in a historical drama by appearing in this drama and he has prepared his appearance and practiced very hard for this drama. He reportedly obtained confidence through the encouragement of other actors and staff members on the set.
Lee Tae Gon said, “It is true that I have felt pressure about playing the greatest king in the history in a historical drama. I was really nervous when I began filming, but I could gradually feel confident with the help of other people around me, and now I am comfortable filming the drama.” “Gwanggaeto, The Great Conqueror,” which will be a follow-up drama to “The King of Legend,” will tell the story of the life of the 19th king of Goguryeo, Gwanggaeto, and his desire and passion towards conquering the China over a total of 80 episodes. This ambitious work will be produced by KBS, which has produced other notable works, to restore Korea’s lost history and to seek the strategies for managing Korea in the 21st century. In particular, the most well-known historical drama producer Kim Jong Sun, who has produced popular dramas such as “King and Queen,” ”Emperor Wang Gun,” and “The King Dae Joyoung,” will direct this drama after a four-year break, and his directing has raised anticipation in and outside of the broadcasting industry.
June 19th, 2011 at 5:50 pm
The new KBS1 historical drama “Gwanggaeto, The Great Conqueror” opened its curtain on June 4 amid much anticipation. Lee Tae-gon, who plays the title role, succeeded in delivering an impressive performance from the first episode.
Dam-deok, the second son of King Gogukyang of Goguryeo who later becomes King Gwanggaeto, decides to become an army general from early on since he — not being the eldest — cannot succeed to the throne. He receives training in a strategically important area in defending the nation. He does not think he is a chosen prince but regards himself as an ordinary general, displaying audacity in a battle.
Emperor Mo Yong-soo (Kim Dong-hyun) of China’s Later Yan plans to attack Goguryeo and orders his son Mo Yong-bo (Im Ho) lead some 150,000 troops to take the Korean kingdom. But Goguryeo is tipped off by Gae Go-un (Kim Seung-soo), a son of Premier Gae Yeon-su (Choi Dong-joon) and a friend of Dam-deok’s who impersonated a merchant to get the information from China, and Dam-deok makes plans to kill the Chinese emperor by himself.
His plans are to prepare sacks filled with oil and wait in ambush for the Chinese emperor to appear with his troops, and then to light the sacks aflame. But the Chinese arrive there earlier than he expected and catches Dam-deok and his men setting up the oil sacks. They attack, and Dam-deok jumps into the water and fights against the Chinese soldiers. But he is caught alive when a Chinese soldier throws a hook and ensnares him.

This is one of the great TV series I don’t like to miss.
However it is telecast on Sat and Sun and I have been made to miss some of my appointments just to stay home and watch.
I manage to get a recorder just to save the series to free myself on Sat and Sun evening and to watch them when I wish to watch it.
Those who like to watch traditional Korean TV series, you will regret missing this great series.

The day I saw LTG on King Gwanggaeto the Great, I lost my heart, soul and everything to him. A fatalistic and charismatic fellow. I sold my soul to him. Waiking Lee Tae Gon. U are the best.

December 3rd, 2011 at 10:42 am
mayb later he’l order his man
December 6th, 2011 at 12:59 am
dear is nice to the such drama of korean kings and can i get the full dvds because i didn’t some of the epsode, i am so sorry about it
December 7th, 2011 at 3:01 am
Are these dramas available in dvd [maybe as a set of the title] for less than a jillion samoleans? I’m only working part-time these days.
I am really enjoying this one, in spite of the actors hamming it up sometimes like that godawful sneer the prince and the generals do, [gagging.]
I enjoyed “The Iron Empress”, too. I missed “The Legend” because of the job and a broken DVD thingy. [Sniff, sniff]. I heard it was good, too.
December 14th, 2011 at 12:53 am
1. What’s with the Prime Minister’s hatred of the present royal Family? Is he a descendant of a former family that sat on the throne and he thinks he should be king? Who are the S[D]onobu’s?
2. Why can’t Deoyong tell Damdeok the truth about her Dad? I think it would serve him right if she ratted him out. I’m hoping she will before her hubby becomes king.
December 17th, 2011 at 11:56 am
RE P. QUINONES comment: i think what the Prime Minister wants is more power. and he is no descendant of any royal family it just happened that his sister was married to the former king the older brother of Gen. Ko Mu & King Iryeon the father of Damdeok. But if you have watched the other story of Damdeok…The Legend (The First Kings Four Gods) before Damdeok was even born, it was already foretold that the son of Iryeon the youngest prince among the brothers will be the next powerful king of Goguryeo, thus the previous king chose his younger brother to be his successor in order for that prophesy to come true.
On Jonobu…this is one of the tribes that co-founded Goguryeo with Jumong, because Goguryeo comprises five tribes. Jonobu is the clan/tribe where the Prime Minister belongs, while Jumong came from Gyeberu clan/tribe. If Jumong was chosen to be the king of Goguryeo because it is heaven’s will & that his father was the last prince of the Joseon Dynasty in Korea before it fell. After the fall of the old Joseon Dynasty the three kingdoms which comprises Goguryeo, Baekje & Silla were established.
Re Deoyong…too late to tell Damdeok because his father committed treason already. And even if she does not tell Damdeok, the latter knows what kind of a man is the Prime Minister.
Hope I have answered your questions. Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to all!:))
January 1st, 2012 at 11:18 pm
Why isnt ep 59-60 airing this week?
January 2nd, 2012 at 11:52 am
congratulations to lee tae gon for winning the excellence award in the recent KBS Entertainment Award Ceremony.:) More power to your show and rest assured I will keep watching King Gwanggaeto the Great up to the last episode.:))
January 2nd, 2012 at 7:30 pm
congratulations! my King!!!! I’m very happy for you…
January 3rd, 2012 at 1:28 pm
Lee Tae Gon has been so perfect in this drama! I’m so happy he won the excellence award. I am really enjoying this drama.
January 3rd, 2012 at 11:47 pm
1. A big Thank you for the info, coralou. I still wish Deoyong would come clean and rat her Dad out about Dammang’s death. Show some guts Lady! An almost tearful confession with a pregnancy just beginning to show…. sigh. I know. It’s not to be; but a gal could hope!
2. What happened to the rock-throwing guy, What’s-his-face? I missed quite a few episodes and he’s not in any of them since I was able to watch consistently.
3. It’s so interesting to see the Korean view of their history and their heroes, kind of like watching a story about Abe Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt!
January 4th, 2012 at 12:38 am
Missed a few epi’s. Does Damduk know the Prime Minister was responsible for his bro’s death yet?
January 22nd, 2012 at 11:16 am
I have missed a few episodes too, but am so happy that Lee Tae Gon’s talents have been recognized with the excellence award at the KBS ceremony. He is totally the King now… hope I can catch up on what I have missed and will look for this in dvd format. The cast and crew are also to be congratulated as well for putting together this fascinating drama.
January 25th, 2012 at 4:27 pm
I hope that doyeon to pair with bakje asin. damdok already move on from her long time ago & did doyeon lose the baby or kings current wife did smt to her when she told her that abortion
January 27th, 2012 at 9:35 pm
No, SMR! Doyeon is still a wuss. She miscarried and although What’s her face, The Big General’s daughter? tried to help her, she chickened out and ran away. Nobody knows where she went. My guess is that she’ll go to Baekje and Asinah (sp?) or to a temple to hide out because she’s afraid of losing her head like her Dad.
I was sorry to see Ko Un turn against Damdeok; but after he watched his father killed he’s got a lot to process. Of course, that piggy-eyed Fengba doesn’t help any. I’d like to wring Fengba’s non-existent neck!
January 27th, 2012 at 9:56 pm
Are there any fanfics about these characters and this story out there, yet? I’m workig on one with giving Doyeong some backbone! Not too much, but a little; we chan’t change the ending of the story, can we?
February 5th, 2012 at 3:18 am
I too want to know if these series are on or going to be on DVD. I have become a real fan of the beautiful sets, costumes and actors.
February 11th, 2012 at 3:17 pm
Hahaha u should wring Febang… no mercy for him but I feel bad for doyeon and ko un wish they meet again may be she can change his mind and I thought she is in leading cast but I can’t see her as many as I want too anyone know if there is writen history gwangeto like THE PRINCESS MAN pls let me know
February 29th, 2012 at 6:25 am
You are sooo right Fengba has the lives of a cat he seriously needs to get whacked! I like Damdeok he tends to growl a lot, and I mean a lot but that adds to his character, I feel sorry for Doyeong she’s doing the right thing by staying quiet I have a feeling she might end up with Lord Asin? that would be a serious shock and blow to Damdeok after her brother Ko Un betrayed him like that! I like Hwang Hoe his General they’ve come a long way together and yeah whatever happened to rock throwing guy? Yakyeon is ok I think it might take Damdeok a while to warm up to her tho but I think it will work out, oh and his sister Damju had better wake up about her crown Prince Hubby what a rat in a silk gown! oh and the costumes are BEAUTIFUL love them and Damdeok looks sooo much better with shorter hair definately more yummy. I’m up to Epi 54 so I can’t wait.
March 8th, 2012 at 1:24 am
LEA TAE GON, GREAT ACTOR.

March 14th, 2012 at 8:53 pm
is the DVD ready soon?
March 23rd, 2012 at 10:52 am
Series DVD Available yet? Price?
March 27th, 2012 at 10:03 pm
Anyone know the actress who plays the khitan Ari name?
April 9th, 2012 at 1:18 am
A Google search of Kim Ji Hyun brings up a page of images including a woman in white with a silver bracelet that sure resembles the actress that played Ari on Gwanggaeto. Can’t find out anymore than that she is a model so I can’t be sure it’s the same woman.
April 16th, 2012 at 2:10 pm
the rock throwing guy is Dol Bisu. Yeah, what happened to him
April 23rd, 2012 at 2:38 pm
Why did Damdoek call Ko Mu “Grandfather” if he was indeed his uncle? And isn’t his second wife his aunt? Well, she calls Ko Mu “Father”.
April 23rd, 2012 at 2:42 pm
All in all, I think it is a great drama. Damdoek (Lee Tae Gon) did a great job in this portrayal. He could not done a finer job. Great cast, but what’s up with Morung Xi? He has such a wild temper. It’s about time someone take off the heads of Fengba and Morung Un.
April 23rd, 2012 at 2:43 pm
should have said, “He couldn’t have done a ….”
April 26th, 2012 at 3:09 am
Oh, Eileen—U and I are on the same page of the music! I soooo want to wring Fengba’s non-existent neck! I used to know a guy who could do what he does—lie like crazy while looking soooo innocent.
AS FOR THE REST—
And these guys are a blood-thirsty bunch for sure!
Did ANYBODY besides Damdeok ever become king WITHOUT murdering somebody? Asin murders and takes the crown.
Murong Xi murders [even if he intended to get his brother] and Murong Bao gets the crown. Maybe Asin should watch out!
Makes you think elections are a good thing. U can stay alive if you’re voted out; so U don’t have to get murdered, at least MOST of the time.
April 26th, 2012 at 3:16 am
Yak Yeong: Too bad the historical record ignores the women so much. I’d like to know what happened to Damdeok’s first wife in real life.
SECOND TIME I WANTED TO SLAP DAMDEOK & ASNI across the mouth: she takes the arrow that was intended to take Asin out. and
JUST LIKE A RAT MAN: Damdeok & Asnin start shedding tears. Where was all this noble feeling when she was trying to make them see reason and realigy and keep them out of war? Neither of those two rats deserved her! I’d have liked to see her walk out on BOTH of them!

@ P. Quinones Says >>> DOYONG or first wife of tamdok does not exist in korean history ,that character is created by writter which is the same as (ku un) who was not the son of prime minister but one of the kogoryo nobles family whom imigrated to hoyan by force when kogoryo were invaded by murong (the founder of hoyan ) and grew up there.

I did not expect that last Sunday was the last episode that I am going to see of my favorite historical drama. Oooh! I feel so sad that this drama had come to an end. I’m going to miss the casts of this great drama. And I like the way the story it ends. Congratulations to all the casts, staff & crew of this drama. you did a great job.:)

February 7th, 2013 at 7:26 am
Does anyone know where I can buy the legal set of this drama instead of a bootleg copy?
March 12th, 2013 at 7:24 am
where can I buy the DVD w/ english subtitle for
King Gwanggaeto the Great?
April 17th, 2013 at 9:38 pm
I just can’t stand the directing of this drama. Everybody is shouting at each other, even during war. Must they speak at loudest tone every time? The battle scenes were too slow, lack of dramatic music. Not much swords fighting,but verbal war.
April 21st, 2013 at 8:00 pm
Hilarious scene every time the Emperor of Houyon held a court meeting. He always yelling when he speaks. Houyon court meeting actually, but just a narrative of what has happen to Damduk or Goguryeo. Sometimes fun to watch sometimes boring
April 23rd, 2013 at 5:31 pm
when can we expect to see Lee Tae Gon in tv drama again? Hopefully it will be in modern and 20 eps series? I notice he is always in long drama. Can’t wait to see his acting again.

I’m rooting for the love story between Damdok and Seol Ji, not with Duyong. No chemistry between Domdok and Duyong.

Anybody knows the real name in real life of the actress who played “Ari”? The Khitan lady, brother of Gurchin who died and taken care by Yeo Seokge, who became a Cheongun member?

Can anybody tell me which episode Sagal Hyeon and Doyeong died? The story is good but somehow too long so I skipped some of the episodes. I’m now at episode 78 and I wanna watch how they died. Please anybody?

At ep 32, did not want the crown prince to marry her. I don’t like her father and the additional power he will receive due to this marriage….such a shame.

I’m on ep 45 and I have to say at this point is there is zero chemistry between the leads. I like the crown prince with the warrior princess–they have more chemistry between them.
