Jumong XLIV- XLVI & Jamaica Inn

I had decided not to watch Jumong last night since I'm slowly being consumed by it and wanted to distance myself away a bit. However I simply couldn't wait until I popped disc2 of Volume 3 and eagerly watched how Jumong started to establish a new nation.

This is getting ridiculous so I'll force myself to go to cinema this evening to watch the new film of a stand up comedian (and caricatur artist) I like very much. So insaallah a break from Jumong.

Things are really very exciting though and Jumong is getting more amazing with each episode, but also remain humble and kind. He managed to rescue the Josun immigrants and re-established the Damul Army to fight the Han.

But Yesoya couldn't get away since evil Sullan caught her during escape and Daeso imprisoned her. But when it is revealed that she is pregnant, she was moved into her chambers (but still a prisoner).
We had seen Yesoya and Jumong hugging each other earlier so I guess hugging is equal to sex (hugging between people romantically involved that is). Now I'm even more convinced that Sosuhno is pregnant with Jumong's child. They hugged a few times.

Daeso was mad mad mad and it was good that he got a taste of the consequences of his actions. When he was complaining to the King (who wanted Yesoya to be moved out of the prison) that Jumong betrayed his trust but finally the King reminded him of what he did to Jumong. He said "You killed his father, you sold his father's head to the Han. What did you expect?" finally someone acknowledged out loud how evil Daeso actually is. People around him are too polite.

Songyang, the eye bag chief really pushed Sosuhno to the limit, but Yeomiul -before leaving Keru to join Jumong's new nation- told her that she and Jumong will come together again (though it was not specified whether this would include a romantic relationship or not - ahhhh subtitles!!) in the future and she must not act, but wait. So when she outwit eye bags with a clever commercial maneouver, eye bags said he will go to war with Keru. So Sosuhno went to him and told him that she'll do whatever he wants her to do. Now Sosuhno resigned as the chief (with Yontabal's evil sister's son being the chief now) and has given her rights on salt to Songyang and all the military actions are banned in Keru. Everyone is very sad but Sosuhno bet on Yeomiul's predictions and is now waiting.

Meanwhile the first thing Jumong did after establishing his army was to attack Yesoya's tribe and kill Sultak, avenging Yesoya and her father. Yesoya was pleased when she heard that.

And I wondered, Jumong left Yesoya in the palace, he hesitated a bit and remembered his parents' words but in the end he decided to leave her there (although I suppose he doesn't know she is pregnant), if it was Sosuhno in the same situation, he'd not leave her there is what I was thinking.

At episode 44 during when King and Yuhwa left the palace under the pretense of going to hot springs (in order to take away the best bodyguards, tricking Daeso) and Jumong said goodbyes to his mother and when he is saying by to the King I got suprisingly emotional and started crying.

And the lesser evil Youngpo is now at Han capital and enjoying a life of debauchery but also trying to make political connections. He laughed so much when he heard how Jumong tricked Deaso.

We left our hero, right after recruiting some fine anti Han militia, coming to the hideout and finding out that Daeso is going to attack his hideout combined with Iron Army of the Han. Naro was scouting the only entry to the hideout.

And I have started Daphne Du Maurier's Jamaica Inn. And I'm already very much into it after the first chapter.
