Summary

Ja Myung Go (Korean자명고RRJamyeonggo; also known as Princess Ja-myung) is a 2009 South Korean television series starring Jung Ryeo-wonPark Min-young and Jung Kyung-ho. It aired on SBS from March 9 to July 21, 2009 on Mondays and Tuesdays at 21:55 (KST) for 39 episodes.

It is based on the Korean folk tale Prince Hodong and the Princess of Nakrang, which touches the story of the failed Nakrang Kingdom. According to the tale, there was a famous drum called the jamyeonggo, literally “the drum that beats by itself,” that possessed the mysterious power to automatically sound an alarm whenever enemies would invade its kingdom. The self-sounding drum caused neighboring nations, including the warrior state of Goguryeo, to hesitate about attacking Nakrang. A prince of Goguryeo named Hodong infiltrated Nakrang with the mission of destroying the drum. But the prince unexpectedly fell in love with the princess of Nakrang. For her love, the princess eventually chose to tear off the drum to betray her country. As a result, her nation fell into ruin and she was killed. Prince Hodong mourned over her death, holding her body.

Editor Comment

In my humble opinion, this is one of the most beautiful stories of Korean folk. One love triangle normally ends badly and this is no exception. Two sisters and the grandson of  HaeYuri. The kingdom is in its early state but strong like never, maybe in the best moment.
