The Legend (DVD) (End) (Multi-audio) (MBC TV Drama) (Horng En Version) (Taiwan Version) DVD Region All

Five years after blockbuster drama Winter Sonata, Bae Yong Joon returns in the lavish historical fantasy The Legend (a.k.a. Four Gods). The Hallyu star portrays Korea's legendary Gwanggaeto the Great, the 19th king of the Goguryeo Dynasty whose legacy of territorial expansion extended well beyond Manchuria. Created by the famous writer/director team behind 1995 blockbuster series Sandglass, this mythological historical fusion epic caused a major uproar in the media from the very start with its high-caliber cast that includes Moon So Ri (Oasis), Choi Min Soo (Sandglass), and Park Sang Won (Sandglass). The drama's staggering $40 billion won production costs are rumored to have even exceeded the budget benchmark of sci-fi blockbuster D-War. After numerous postponements, The Legend finally exploded onto small screens nationwide on September 2007. With some critics and viewers placing the drama's CG work in the same league as that of Hollywood film Lord of the Rings, The Legend boldly raised the bar of standards for Korean dramas. Bathed in mysterical splendor, the 24-episode series chronicles King Gwanggaeto's entire life from his youth to his turmultous ascent to the throne and territorial conquests.

The story begins with the son of heavens Hwang Woong (Bae Yong Joon) who descends to earth with his guardian powers - wind, rain, cloud, and sky - only to witness his faithful bear tribe in constant battle with the rival tiger tribe headed by Ga Jin (Moon So Ri), a female priestess holding the power of fire. To stop the bloodshed, Hwang Woong takes the power of fire from Ga Jin and seals it inside a ruby necklace called "the heart of Ju Jak". Helpless and wounded, Ga Jin retreats to a cave where she is treated by Hwang Woong and falls in love with him. But her unrequited love turns sour when Hwang Woong entrusts the heart of Ju Jak to his love Sae Oh (Lee Ji Ah), the mother of his newborn son. Fueled by jealousy, Ga Jin abducts the baby and throws him off the cliff, enraging Sae Oh who becomes destructive setting everything on fire. Unable to suppress her furor, Hwang Woong makes the difficult decision of ending his own lover's life. Before ascending back to the heavens, Hwang Woong leaves behind four mythical artifacts and the prophecy of a new king. Two thousands years later, the king is born and the legend begins.

高勾麗的人民 等待的千年傳說
　傳說中太王 － 天神之子會在某日轉世為人，
　　而當祂出生時 － 四神太王的四護衛便將覺醒
並幫助太王收復失土 重新建立過往偉大的帝國

「太王四神記」是描述高句麗的廣開土大王「太王」和朱雀、玄武、青龍、白虎「四神」開疆闢土的歷史神話作品，講述高句麗廣開土大王「談德」（裴勇俊飾）和幫助「談德」成為偉大大王的「琦荷」（文素莉飾）和「秀芝妮」（李智雅飾）之間的愛情故事。

《太王四神記》是首次將古朝鮮的神話搬上螢幕，據導演金鍾赫介紹，第一集是整個劇情的總括，如果觀眾不看第一集就很難理解以後的內容，劇中裴勇俊一人分飾二角，同時飾演天神桓雄和廣開土大王，在第一集的神話時代中，他飾演天帝的兒子桓雄下凡到了人間，帶了傳說中的四神創造了古朝鮮，他給人間帶來了和平與豐饒、愛和智慧，最終桓雄和熊族女人『賽澳』(李智雅飾)產生了愛情，這使得傾慕桓雄的虎族神女『嘉真』(文素莉飾)妒火中燒，這段三角關係最終通過轉世發生到本劇主角『廣開土大王』談德的身上…

A long time ago, a tribe that respected the tiger and controlled fire called the Ho-jok (Tiger Tribe), ruled the world. They eliminated and assimilated all tribes except the tribe that respected the bear, called the Ung-jok (Bear Tribe). The Tiger Tribe and the Bear Tribe fought, and Hwanung could not bear to see so many people getting killed. He brought the three gods of nature; Baek-Ho (the White Tiger), Cheong-Ryong (the Blue Dragon), and Hyeon-Mu (the Black Turtle-Snake). He removed the power of fire from the leader of the Tiger Tribe, Gajin, sealed the power into an artifact called the Heart of Ju-Jak (the Red Phoenix), and gave it to the woman he loved; Se-o. However, Gajin was mortally wounded while attacking another tribe, and she seemed to die until Hwanung healed her. This thoroughly convinced Gajin to not make a grudge against Hwanung. When her tribe were revived to take back the power of fire, they didn't listen to Gajin and decided to attack the Bear Tribe. Gajin then slew her tribe's council with her own blade, and escapes from her own tribe and heads towards the Bear Tribe, deciding to become Hwanung's woman. However, Hwanung likes Se-o and declared his love for her, not knowing that Gajin was watching them secretly when this took place. Gajin was infuriated by this and began reforming the Tiger Tribe and attacked the Bear Tribe. Unfortunately, this was the time when Se-o was pregnant, and when she had given birth, the baby was kidnapped by Gajin who offered Se-o a deal to trade her baby for the power of fire. When Se-o refuses Gajin, Gajin responds by dropping Se-o's baby from a cliff, leading to Se-o going out of control and releasing the Heuk-Jujak (Dark Phoenix), even though Hwanung had saved the baby. (Note: Jujak is roughly the equivalent of Phoenix.) Hwanung's subordinates, the White Tiger, the Blue Dragon and the Black Turtle-Snake fought the Dark Phoenix, but they were no match for it. Left with no choice, Hwanung used his Heavenly Bow to kill Se-o, the source of the power of the Dark Phoenix, and managed to seal it once again in the heart of the Red Phoenix. Gajin committed suicide by jumping from the cliff because she now "had no reason to live in this world any more." Hwanung sealed the powers of the 'Four Gods' (The Red Phoenix, White Tiger, Blue Dragon, and the Black Turtle-Snake) in certain artifacts and left them in the care of certain people, telling them that they will wake when the King of Jushin is born.

Many centuries later, Damdeok, the reincarnation of Hwanung, was born. Along with him, the artifacts of the guardians of the King were born. Damdeok met difficulties in becoming the king of Goguryeo, mainly because of Yeon Hogae who mistook Damdeok for the murderer of his mother, and his father who turned the king's parliament against him.
