My apologies to theJumong fans who are waiting for this episode. We had some tech issues and uploading was rather slow, so I took the weekend off. But I’m back with the next episode of this popular Koreanovela:

Here’s what happened in Episode 58:

Ju Mong tells Ohyi that he once broke the sacred Damul bow with his own hand, and always wondered if such thing meant he was bringing destruction to Buyeo and this is why he came to Shijo mountain today. However, Ohyi points out the Damul bow is fine and Ju Mong is surprised, and checks it out himself. Upon drawing the bow and shooting an arrow, a gust of wind blows and the Shijo mountain oracle Bi-geum-seon appears. The oracle greets Ju Mong and tells him the owner of such Damul bow is not Buyeo, but rather it is Damul army and its commandar Ju Mong. Meanwhile, in Buyeo palace, Songju brings the medical doctor to King Geumwa to check on the large dark spot on Geumwa’s face. The physician is startled and Geumwa says he has not been able to sleep since his trip and overnight the mark appeared. Back in Shijo mountain, Bi-geum-seon tells Ju Mong since many years ago, many oracles have come to Shijo mountain awaiting the owner of Damul bow to appear, and all of them perished before they could witness it, but now she is able to finally accomplish what the heavens will. Bi-geum-seon clearly tells Ju Mong the Damul bow’s owner is commander Ju Mong, but Ju Mong says the bow is a sacred item for Buyeo, however Bi-geum-seon reveals the bow does not belong to Buyeo and tells Ju Mong to go and look at the body of the bow.

Ju Mong reads the inscription on the bow which reveals it is an imperial item from Gojoseon era. Bi-geum-seon states Damul bow is a sacred item from Gojoseon and it became one body with the past emperor of Gojoseon.
Ju Mong asks why then did it become Buyeo’s symbol, and Bi-geum-seon states after Gojoseon’s downfall, it was hoped that Buyeo would revive Gojoseon’s past glory thus it was given to Buyeo, but Buyeo betrayed that opportunity from the heavens. Bi-geum-seon says the sacred bow is no longer Buyeo’s for Buyeo has stolen the blood of many Gojoseon remnants, and reveals it is merely finding its true owner, and states Damul bow belongs to Ju Mong and asks Ju Mong to gather again the people of Gojoseon. Meanwhile, Geumwa has been checked but the physician states he does not know why it has happened. Geumwa then says it is not an ailment and wonders if it is an omen instead.. that the omen for Buyeo is revealing itself through Geumwa.

Upon leaving Shijo cave, Ju Mong tells Ohyi to keep what happened a secret between them and not to reveal it to anyone else. Ohyi agrees and the two leave, with Ohyi carrying the bow on his back. In Gyeru, Soseono tells Sayong Ju Mong’s answer is rather late. And Sayong says Damul is now a powerful force that no one will look lightly upon and for such there will be a lot to worry over. Sayong tells Soseono they have yet to discuss the matter of who reigns if a new nation is built, and Sayong says in that matter, Soseono must not back down, and if she builds a new nation w Ju Mong she must be the ruler. But just then Yeontabal arrives and says things have gotten urgent since Hyeonto has sent army to help Song Yang, and if they join force they will not be able to defeat Song Yang. Yeontabal asks about Ju Mong and Soseono says he has not replied. Ju Mong and Ohyi return to Bongae mountain, and the trios greet them. Ohyi lowers the bow from his back and orders everyone to get away. Hyeopbo wonders what it is and Ohyi leaves saying it is nothing.
Ju Mong meets with the trios and Mari reports Gyeru’s Sayong came by while Ju Mong was away and update Ju Mong on the happenings in Jolbon. Hyeopbo urges Ju Mong to help Gyeru but Jaesa says Damul should not be responsible for Gyeru’s destiny, and Hyeopbo raises his voice and yells at Jaesa saying they should help Gyeru if they are to be destroyed by Han, and Jaesa yells back saying he is not saying not to help but he is saying to be cautious about it. Ju Mong tells them to be quiet and says he’ll handle it. Ju Mong goes out and tells Ohyi to bring the sacred item to the star child. Ju Mong and Ohyi put the boxed sacred object in the oracle’s chamber and leaves. Soryeong asks starchild what it is and starchild says it is Damul bow and it now belongs to Damul army and the bow and Ju Mong will build new nation together.

In Buyeo, Yeongpo finishes visiting Geumwa and sighs. But Majin tries to cheer him up. Yeongpo then asks Majin what he can do for Geumwa and that he would do everything to help Buyeo. Majin says at a time like this Yeongpo should be greeting Daeso. Just then Daeso and Seolran return to Buyeo palace, after tying up loose end in Dongmoon fortress. Daeso asks the queen about Geumwa’s state and the queen says it is hard to see him so and tells Daeso to go and have a look himself at the oracle’s palace. Daeso and Seolran arrive at Mawuryeong’s shrine, and the two are startled to see Geumwa with his facial distortion. Daeso cries out and asks why this is happening, and Geumwa tells him he is not in pain thus Daeso should not worry. Daeso then asks Mawuryeong how to cure this and she replies she is doing what she can putting up a shrine but it is not improving.

Mopalmo is carefully laying out the newly manufactured explosive and gas dynamite and Ju Mong is brought over to see how they work. Mopalmo demonstrates how they perform, and Ju Mong displays a look of satisfaction and tells his men they have worked hard. Back in Buyeo palace, Geumwa sits on his throne behind a satin curtain and tells his subjects he has called back Daeso to the palace and tells them to serve Daeso. Daeso tells everyone he will do everything he can to develop Buyeo and asks everyone to help him.

Yeongpo returns to his chamber after court session and regrets he did nothing while Daeso was away. Majin tries to comfort him saying Daeso wants to work with everyone, but Yeongpo says Daeso says such in front of everyone but behind one’s back he will stab you. Meanwhile Daeso and Seolran visit the queen who urges him to pull Buyeo through their future and tells Daeso Geumwa has become very weak, and he is realizing the importance of blood line. The queen then tells Seolran she must do well too to help Daeso and she should focus on getting pregnant, and if Seolran is unable to deliver a child they have no choice but to give Daeso a concubine. Seolran is surprised and goes out, but runs into Yesoya passing by holding her son Yuri, and Seolran suddenly gets an idea. Haochen gives Seolran medicine from Daeso to help her with her fertility but Seolran becomes furious, and tells Haochen to go and fetch a medicine man.

In Bongae mountain, Ju Mong remembers Bi-geum-seon’s words, that the reason why Gojoseon could not become an indestructible nation is because it was divided, and Bi-geum-seon warns Ju Mong unless he gathers strength together he will not be able to receive the remaining two sacred objects. Ju Mong remember Bi-geum-seon saying there were a total of 3 sacred objects from Gojoseon and once Ju Mong fetches all three he will be the new emperor of Gojoseon. Ju Mong had asked what the two remaining were but Bi-geum-seon replies it is not clear whether or not Ju Mong could become the owner of the remaining two yet. Bi-geum-seon says Ju Mong is not the only one who was chosen by the heavens, and reminds him Haemosu was chosen by the heavens but he failed to carry out the fate, and Ju Mong could be like that as well. Ju Mong asks how he can receive the two objects, and Bi-geum-seon’s reply was Ju Mong must find them by himself, and that the future of Ju Mong will be extremely difficult and no one will open a road for him, but he must find and built the path for himself by himself. And upon saying these Bi-geum-seon disappeared. Ju Mong remembers this and remains undecided while Mari and Hyeopbo are getting anxious over Ju Mong’s tardy decision, saying Gyeru is in such urgent state. They then ask Ohyi what was in the wooden box he brought back and Ohyi says he doesn’t know it either. Hyeopbo says he’s strange but Ohyi brushes them off and asks Mari for help. Mari asks what and Ohyi asks to learn to read and write. Mari says as long as Ohyi is sincere he will do his best to teach him. Ohyi says thanks and goes out, and Hyeopbo wonders what Ohyi is hiding. But Mari says Ohyi must have his reason and he is not one who would trick them.

Meanwhile in Gyeru, Sayong says they cannot depend on Damul army and they must find a way to stop Songyang by themselves. Gyepil says they are not strong enough, while Soseono and Yeontabal remain wordless. Yangtak goes to Yeonchaeryeong who asks what Soseono has decided on. Yangtak says they have no choice now, and Yeonchaeryeong says to fight is to die, but Yangtak says it is too late to beg with Song Yang now and as Chansoo is doing, they should focus on finding a way to fight Song Yang. Soseono watches as her men are in training, with Chansoo among them, and just then Sayong arrives with a female bodyguard telling Soseono the new girl will serve Soseono from now on. the guard introduces herself as Hoyeon to Soseono, and Sayong stops the men from training. Sayong calls out 2 men in training and tells Hoyeon to show chief Soseono her skills. Hoyeon beats up the 2 men and Soseono is pleased. Sayong asks for her reaction and Soseono comments Hoyeon is impressive, and tells Sayong to pick out from the group the highest skilled men and Sayong asks what for, but Soseono says she will explain slowly.

In Hyeonto, Songyang has come to visit Yangjeong who asks about Gyeru’s state, and Songyang says they are trying to find a way to fight in the upcoming war, but they are without much resource. Songyang then asks Yangjeong to make Songyang the king of Jolbon, once it is fully united. Yangjeong agrees and his minister is surprised, and Song Yang bows and thanks him for his promise and says he will never forget Yangjeong’s help. Songyang leaves, and the minister asks Yangjeong if he willl really help Songyang, and Yangjeong says after they defeat Gyeru, Jolbon will be Han nation’s colony, thus it is no matter that Songyang is king, since Yangjeong is the one who really reigns Jolbon, and he will for the time being use Songyang as much as he is worth. In Bongae mountain, Ju Mong summons Mari and Jaesa and asks the two if they know anything about the old Joseon, and Mari says all he knows is it was destroyed at Wang-jeong fortress, its capital, but the details are unknown to him. Jaesa says he is the same and asks Ju Mong why he’s bringing up the story of old Joseon. Ju Mong says the Damul army is bringing along the remnants of old Joseon, and the nation they are building is upon old Joseon land as well thus they need to know the foundation which they build upon. Mari says there are surely records and objects left from that nation, and Ju Mong wonders where they can find such, and Jaesa says he knows a man who likes to collect such items and suggests they go see him to see if he has any items. The three of them head out and they arrive in the house of Cheon Gyo-su, and Jaesa introduces them to each other. Master Cheon welcomes them in and Ju Mong thanks them. When they head in Ju Mong asks Master Cheon about old Joseon’s records, but Master Cheon replies most are already destroyed, but as he knows it, a few might remain in Han or Buyeo safe. Ju Mong asks if there is a way to find them, and Master Cheon says if he happens to go to Han or Buyeo for business he will try and get a hold of them. Ju Mong requests him to do so and Master Cheon then says though he has no records he does have a item, but it is rather precious so he cannot just give it to them. Ju Mong says how he can have it and cheon asks Damul army’s protection over their merchant group and Ju Mong agrees. Master Cheon brings a map to them and says it is the map of old Joseon lands, and the three of them are amazed at how wide spread the old Joseon was.

In Buyeo palace, Yeongpo visits Daeso and tells him to take it easy since he’s only returned not long ago, and Daeso says he’s fine and tells Yeongpo to leave if he’s done talking. Yeongpo invites Daeso over to his chamber for special wine, and Daeso scolds Yeongpo for doing such when Geumwa has ordered the entire nation to be sober, and Daeso tells Yeongpo to leave. As Yeongpo leaves, Naro brings Bubunno in, and Daeso tells Naro to prepare a group of warriors to take to Bongae mountain to keep track of Ju Mong’s actions, and Daeso personally tells Bubunno to head that mission. Meanwhile, as Yesoya and Yuri are visiting Yoohwa, the maid comes in with a bow of nourishment medicine for Yuri and as Yesoya is about to feed it to Yuri, Yoohwa gets a bad vibe and tells Soya to stop, then goes and fetches a silver hairpiece and sticks in in the medicine and sees that it is poisionous. Yoohwa says that must be Seolran’s doing and Soya says they should alert the king, but Yoohwa says it is no use to tell the king.

In Bongae mountain, Ju Mong shows everyone the map of old Joseon’s wide spread, and tells his group to prepare their departure toward Gyeru. Jaesa asks what about the matters they should first consider before going to Gyeru, and Ju Mong says he is not going to Gyeru to save Soseono alone, but that he is going there to check out the land of old Joseon, and at this time it is not important who will reign the new nation. in Gyeru, Soseono prepares the highly skilled group of guards to prepare for assassination of Song Yang. Yeontabal says it is no use since Song Yang must have skilled guards around him, but Soseono says she realizes so, but she has an idea, which is to sneak in to Biryu through wine barrels since Songyang will need a large supply of wine to greet the soldiers from Hyeontto, thus Sayong and the warriors are disguised as a wine maker, and push in barrels of wine with Soseono and weapons hidden inside. The Biryu general is about to check inside the barrel containing Soseono but Sayong distracts him with a bowl of wine and the Gyeru group successfully sneaks into Biryu. Meanwhile, Ju Mong and his army leave their mountain fort, and they are watched by Bubunno and his men…
