Synopsis
The story is centering on the third king of Kogooryeo, “Daemooshin,” who intended to expand his country beyond the Booyeo, Nakrang and Chinese Han Empire, and for his son Hodong.
King Yuri, compared to the previous king, Dongmyoungseong of Kogooryo, lived in perpetual fear that he might not be recognized as a king and killed both of his sons when he felt threatened. King Daemooshin, pledged not to be such a man, but when he becomes king he grows to be like his father. Hodong, the son of king Daemooshin, observes his father’s change to a hard, cold person. So, the main theme of this work is the growing solitude of a king who may have the world but loses love and his family, and the agony of others who see the changing king. We are moved by the harmony of the characters in this narration expressed so poetically and by the thick lines that may not easily be shown in boy-meets-girl stories.
Booyeo: The country founded by Haemosoo who landed on a wagon drawn by five dragons sent from the heavens about 3200 years ago.
Kogooryeo: The country founded by Joomong who was fathered by the king of Booyeo and born to the daughter of Habaek (the god of water) in Manchuria in the middle of the 1st century before Christ. Most of the current northeastern Chinese area belonged to Kogooryeo.
