Honoring Dae Jo Yeung

I’ve been crying a lot for the past 2 days.. why? Because I’ve been watching Dae Jo Yong, Korean colossal drama, 136 episodes.. I know, wow.. it’s a very long journey.. Yeah, it’s a very very long story, I can’t even summarize it. Maybe you can get the story on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dae_Jo_Yeong_(TV_series).

I got to give a two thumps up! To Choi Soo Jong who played Dae Jo Yeung. His voice is changing from the one when he was teenage ‘till he became a king. It’s incredible!! And it feels like the charisma of the general Dae Jo Young itself growing within time.. Let’s do some review now, shall we?!

There’s a lot of part of the series which I love, and makes me crying out loud!!

First, is the moment where the teenage Dae Jo Yeung met his mother (they were separated, in order to save Jo Yeung), but they were captured so they were tortured, ‘till his mom died. Then, there’s part where he was betrayed by Shila which make him loosed all of his men and got him near to death, which got him paralyze and loose hope. But the king sent him a message written by the king’s blood which makes Jo Yeung inspired and get back!!

Then, the part where he’s captured by Tang’s armies and he have to walk on the Tang’s street and everyone throw rock upon him, but his 2 sworn brothers Hae Suk Dol and GulsaBiwu protect him.. Then the part Heuksudol and Gyepilsamun stay behind to delay the army.. Gyepilsamun is killed by Li Kaigu's arrows, and Heuksudol stays to avenge him, got captured then they executed him..

And the where Geum Lan and Biwu were trapped and Geum Lan asked Biwu to carry him on his back to get them move faster (Geum Lan’s legs is broke), but her true intention is to protect Biwu’s back.. so she is killed by arrows because he’s protecting Biwu..HOoo.. actually this is the part where I cry the most, damn hate it!! And the last one is where Dae Jung Sang, JoYeung’s father is captured but when he is about to be on a hostage exchange time, he fought back the Tang’s to fuels the morale of the Goguryeo-Mohe’s armies.. he said there’re 3 things that’ll describe him. First he’s a goguryeon, Second, he is a warrior, and the last he is a father… SHUuuTTT!!!

Okay. You might think that I’m just being over react but the sacrifice that they willing to do without any hesitation just touching me. Their loyalty, their spirit and will to sacrifice themselves in order to protect something that values for them is just indefinable.

They asked nothing in return, all they asked is just “stay alive”.

Honoring

the thing is, that kind of sacrifice isn't easy to do. It needs a lot of love, honor,devotion, and many things else that lead to the action sacrifice.
the question now beb,
will you do the same?
