While MBC has “Beethoven’s Virus”, competing broadcaster, KBS will have “Land of the Wind.”
Jung Il-woo and Choi Jung-won star in the new 20 million USD historical drama, “Land of the Wind.” The press conference for the new drama was held at CGV on September 4th.
“Land of the Wind”, a tale of 3 kings of the Goguryo era, blows into small screen on September 10 (Wednesday/Thursday at 9:55pm). Jung Jae-young and Oh Youna are also part of the cast.

Watch the special for “Land of the Wind”
Can’t wait to watch it! Great Casting.
I’m worried that Song Il Gook will be trapped in re-reprising his roles as the king and the descendants of GoGuryeo Kings in the other next Jumong spin offs. I see that this is one of (possible) many to come.
Jumong kick ass! so please leave it to that…
Yeah, he is getting type-cast.
“Jung Il-woo and Choi Jung-won star in the new 20 million USD historical drama, “Land of the Wind.””
Jung Il-woo? HAHAHA. Please get your facts right Popseoul. Jung Il-woo is going to be in Iljimae.
Korean historical dramas are almost always about kings.
After watching trailer in youtube, Song Il Gook in this new drama is still act same like the one in jumong series especially shouting go!
i like song il gook,im gonna watch this drama
err. jung il woo? typo much?
Jumong was a bit too boring for me! Too political and I wanted more romance! I felt cheated with Jumong and Suhsono’s love story, too….
Almost a waste of time! ALMOST!
Looks interesting…..
I like historic movies, so I’ll be on the look out.
Have any of you noticed how awfully awkward Choi’s fingers look in the first picture? Is the one sticking out her left index finger or her thumb?
how come song ilgook can’t be as good in modern roles?
They should do another DAMO! no more kings!
another story about goguryeo kings. i have nothing against song il gook but i think his role in Jumong is enough. i think its gonna be boring this time.. For the me The Legend has a good story and the role of Bae Yong Joon is the best!!!
this outfit is way better than her film festival disaster. nice to see that.
oh, Jumong is back and kicking! i wont be in korea when airing starts but i hope to get a copy of its dvd once released, kekekeke…
Looks interesting. I’ll definitely be watching this one!
Wow, this is surely gonna be a great series as Song Il Guk is the best when it comes to historic drama!
I can see a resemblance between Choi Jung Won and Lee Young Ae.. so the Land of Wind somehow seems like a combination of Jumong and Dae Jang Geum. Well, I don’t know the story as I’ve yet to read the synopsis, but for sure I’ll be looking forward for this coz I like Song Il Guk in Jumong and I’m sure this is better coz it’s an adaptation from comics, I learned.. Fighting Song Il Guk!!!

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Well, that’s your opinion… but romance is THE MOST BORING OF ALL ASPECTS. It shows nothing but kissing and kissing and kissing and kissing. Also, romance-based stories suffers the same formula of compatibility between love teams and lacking diversity. It just centers between loveteams.
I’d rather prefer Jumong. It doesn’t focus on political aspect. If you would be able to OPEN YOUR MIND, you will not focus on ROMANCE ASPECT, you will be able to see something diverse about Jumong from being too political. At least, with being political, it doesn’t go farfetched from our reality. Romantic thingies sometimes go farfetched from the romance of the real-world.
regarding Song Il-Gook himself, he has proven his competency in some aspects—-be it in historical or not. It’s just way that historical ones are his specialties.
try watching Terms of Endearment (have you watched it, y’all?) and you will be able to see how magnetic his performance as his husband to Han Ga In.
ohhhhh yeah. i remember that final scene of ToE where he meets ‘thora’ for the first time. i couldn’t stop crying!
Yap! 100% agreed with ferociousroxy:-)
i saw lots of korean drama n jumong is the best of all
even 4 ppls who prefer romance story ….i think we can say that jumong has various interesting subject to talk about;-)
i believe Sig will gv us great performance as always like in all his films (modern or ancient story)
Keep on rocking oppa ,Gbu!
well well well
,it’s pity the one who said jumong boring??
!
how ’bout jumong’s rating? 51,9% …there was no korean drama series can beat jumong until now!!
hope ‘land of winds’ will gv us something that not easily to 4 get
We love u Sig !
i agree with you alexandra, only JUMONG got the highest rating among korean drama. Maybe Land of The Winds can beat the record, i can see the story of this korean drama is good as JUMONG
thanks a lot girls.
however, i still doubt if land of the wind can break the record of jumong. if i’ll gonna compare the 2 dramas, i’d rather prefer jumong, especially as far as looks of song il gook in concerned because in land of the wind, he’s so
yeom-moonish (can you still remember yeom moon of emperor of the sea? the nemesis of jang bogo?). his looks in jumong was way great, wickedly handsome and youthful despite his beard
also, as i notice, i thought he’s gaining weight? he looked initially good at his first few months of marriage which he got a little plump
Song Il Gook is a versatile actor. I have watched Terms of Endearment and he made me cry a lot. His acting there is also superb.
Ha ha ha (lol):-D
as 4 me ,i always loved Sig’s acting
he’s amazing !!
land of winds will be great to watch coz he’s in that movie
n i trust he will add a touch of gold in every film he plays !
happy b’day oppa ,goodness & love will always be with you along of your life
what is kim hye-seong’s role there?!
hope this land of the wind will be aired in gma7
Same with you SP..I WANT HIM IN A ROLE EXACTLY LIKE YEOM MOON!!! Hear me out directors in Korea!! Im tired of watching him being TOOO POLITICAL or too NICE AND INNOCENT!! What happened to the loving,caring,jealous, hot,mustaching,protecting,charming ,sweet,protectivery, revengefulry GOOK?!?! I misss him being yeom moon..=[…he loved her soo dearly that he’d rather get killed looking for her. Willing to give up his team to save her..but never did she give him a glance.. WHY THE HECK DID U HAVE TO CHANGE ROLES!! uhhh, im serious about this! TOO much political roles now Song!!
I can’t wait to see again a great actor like SONG IL GOOK
I hope GMA 7 will get the rights to show it here in the Philippines
I loved Songilkuk in Emperor of the Sea! What an actor! That roll MADE HIM! And now, what do we get? “Milk-toast….” Tooo, tooo boring! I hope he wakes up and gets some good rolls!
I LOVE YOU SONG LL GOOK YOU ARE MY IDOL LOVE YOU SIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
SIG looks like such a down to earth guy. i am sure the drama will do well. i love him. even when he played a bad guy.
We watch Land of the Winds (translated as Kamoo Yergir in Armenian) here in Armenia.
Great show. Good job, Koreans!
Choi Jung-won is most beautiful!
ok, and Song Il-gook is also very engaging and inspiring in his role as Moo Hyul.
I love S IL G SOOOOOOOOOOO MMMMMMM.
will song il gook still be acting after his marriage or branch oof to some other career?
Due to popular demand in Armenia, Jumong is being rebroadcast every evening at 7:00 and again at 1:00 AM.
Already on Episode 18.
Who is that actress playing Sosi-oh-noh? I wanna marry her.
