It Took me about 2 days to finish Bae Yoon Jun’s comeback Korean drama serial ‘太王四神记 (Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi)’. I was pretty interested to continue watching as the storyline at the start attracted me.
The story starts off with a legend 2000 years ago, that there was this Jiusin King who was sent from Heaven to Earth to establish a Jiusin world where there is eternal peace and comfort for all human beings. He brought along with him 3 gods - white tiger, green dragon, black turtle.However, Ka-jin, a member of the savage Tiger Tribe tried to attack the Jiusin world as she was entrusted with the 4th god - phoenix (fire).
Eventually, the guardian was take away from her by the Jiusin King and the Jiusin King fell in love with Saeoh, giving her the phoenix. Driven with jealousy, Ka-jin attacked Saeoh and threw her baby off a cliff. Saeoh became overwhelmed with anger and became black phoenix which submerge the earth with fire.The Jiusin King killed his beloved to stop her and ordered for mass rain to stop the fire (thats the reason they gave for having seas and rivers on earth now..).
The Jiusin King then took the 4 gods in the form of ‘treasures’ and distributed them to all parts of the world, prophesizing that another Jiusin King will appear 2000 years later to complete what he did not manage to do.I like the storyline at the start of the show… and also the parts where they sought to obtain the 4 treasures and finding the 4 guardians for the treasures. There were quite a few characters that played a substantial part in this drama and they made the drama more enjoyable.
However, I feel that there are certain parts of the show that are too akin to the other Korean drama - ‘zhu meng’. Both shows talk about this destined person trying to fight with the evil people for the throne and hence commit themselves to countless battles. There were quite a lot of battle and blood sputtering scenes.
Great Twist ending… and Im quite happy with it but that it did not turn out the way i like.. I was abit disappointed with the ending though.. didnt really expected that to happen.. hmmm…..really expected something good to happen in the end.
All in all, I think it is a drama serial worth watching. Think the plot is pretty good, and it gets really exciting at times.. 2I truely enjoy the show.
I am a big fans of 李智雅 Lee Ji Ah , i just like the cute character of her in the show !!! Love Her smile
