Jang Bogo
Summary
Jang Bo-go was a peasant from Shilla (a Korean dynasty that lasted from 57 B.C. until 935 A.D.) He goes to Tang (a Chinese dynasty) to train his martial arts skills. There, he sees his people being kidnapped and killed by Tang pirates. He comes back to Shilla and asks the king permission to clean out the Tang pirates. Jang Bo-go seizes control of the seas and returns peace to his people again. Pirates fled at the name of Jang Bo-go, giving him the name 'Hae Shin', meaning 'Sea God'. During this time, Shilla's royal house was in tumult because kings were being kicked out after only a few years of ruling. One royal family member comes to Jang Bo-go for aid to kick out the current king. He takes the offer and kicks out the king and enthrones the royal family member. In return, he was promised that his daughter would be married to the new king's son. However, the king dies after several months and the prince tries to keep his promise to Jang Bo-go. But, due to opposition by the royal officials that the daughter of a peasant cannot be queen, the promise was broken. Furious, Jang Bo-go starts a rebellion, but is killed by an assassin sent out by the king. He and his family name were condemned forever.

Based on the life of a true historical figure, Emperor of the Sea is an epic Korean Drama based on a novel by author Choi In Ho. Choi Soo Jong stars as Jang Bo Go, who rises from a lowly slave to the military commander of the sea during the Unified Shilla Dynasty (676~935). Along the way, he battles pirates, and engages in a heated rivalry with Madam Jami (Chae Si Ra), a Shilla noble who squares off against Jang Bo Go for trade rights in the South Sea. Song Il Kook (Jumong), winner of the 2002 KBS New Actor award, is Yeomjang, Jang Bo Go's charismatic comrade, who supports Jang in his ascension to The Emperor of the Sea. But Yeomjang competes with Jang for the love of Jeong Hwa (Soo Aeh, Once in a Summer)...
Emperor of the Sea is an epic television series in every sense of the word. Besides totaling 50 episodes, the series possesses a budget of 15 billion won, and features many stunning sets and locations. The battle sequences are given epic scope, and computer graphics are used to enhance their scale. But the ultimate focus of Emperor of the Sea is on a single man, Jang Bo Go, and the realization of his destiny: to control the East Asian Sea!
