쾌도 홍길동
Hong Gil Dong

drama wiki
Based on a fictional book about a Robin Hood in Korea,Hong Gil Dong [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Gildong), this drama is very loosely based off of that book and the time it was set in.

Hong Gil Dong is the b*****d son of a minister. He spends most of his time lazing the day away and taking goods from the various merchants. However, a local monk think he's destined to be more. Hong Gil Dong, for his part, really dislikes the injustices in this ranked world.

Heo Yi Nok has returned to Korea, fresh from China. She's an upbeat, naive and carefree girl. She's been living with her grandfather for the last few years. They both are merchants looking to make a fortune back in Korea.

Lee Chang Hwi, however, has been told since he was young that he's the rightful king of Korea. He bumps into Heo Yi Nok. This initially causes misunderstanding between them, but over time his heart is softening towards her.

Meanwhile Heo Yi Nok and Hong Gil Dong are developing a friendship that feels like (at least to Yi Nok) that it could be more.

As the question of rightful succession comes into play, Hong Gil Dong and Yi Nok are forced to take sides.

This drama is based on Robin Hood.. sort of!

I LOVE this show so much. The ending threw me off a little (especially because of the way the first episode started), but it was worth watching. And Jang Geun Suk (he plays the prince) is so cute. I love watching him act. xD

The old masters are great! ;D
I couldn't stop watching this series, one night i stayed up and watched Hong Gil Dong till 6am~ ^___^ But then I managed to take a break when the drug episode came. It was kind of unnecessary for the plot? And I've not watched the rest of the episodes. I want save it for later.. C:
Aka. NO SPOILERS thank you. <3
