The end of drama The Great King Sejong
OMG today was the last episode of the drama "Great King Sejong (대왕세종)"... Its a historical drama about the greatest king in the Joseon (조선) times. My ancestor =D.
The drama was awesome from beginnng til the end. As the drama progressed, my respect towards the Joseonese scholars and Sejong grew. The way they speak and argue in terms of politics is seriously WOW.
The first few episodes were about how the 2nd son of Taejo (태조) would become the king instead of the 1st son.
Later part of the drama focused on Sejong's reign. About the territory expansion to the Yalu River (Currently North Korea)?? I forgot -.-. And creating the new writing system. Now I realise how "special" Korean is. Korean can describe certain things other languages don't even have words to. Feelings, objects, or just "action words" like *sigh* etc. No wonder foreigners find it difficult to learn Korean! Only those with Korean blood can learn them perfectly =P.
Oh, and my blog song is the OST from the drama =D. Super nice!! (Well at least to me). Ask me for the track if you want =D.
Hmm... I wonder what other historical drama KBS World will broadcast since Sejong's over... I hope they do on General Yi Soon Shin haha. My all time favourite figure when I was young.
P.S. There is something I'm really bad at afterall! -.-
SHUT UP.
