Wang Credited 4 God or Legend is a Korean drama depicts the existence of the 19th king of Goguryeo. The founder of Goguryeo, Jumong, started the kingdom with four gods: Baek-ho (the White Tiger), Cheong-ryong (the Blue Dragon), Hyeon-mu (the Black Turtle-Snake) and Joo-jak (the Phoenix). Jumong married Soseono and adopted her two sons from her first husband. Because Jumong's son from his first wife came to Goguryeo and became the Crown Prince, Soseono voluntarily moved to South with her sons and established Baekje. This is the reason why Baekje and Goguryeo were known as "brother countries". The tie between the brother countries was broken and became worse because The king of Goguryeo was killed in their own battle. The four gods cut off their communication from the society and observed them.

Excellent series, excellent subtitles!
If you are searching for well translated English subtitles for this fantastic series, this is the edition to get! I read the reviews of all the other versions out there before settling on this one from Asian Entertainment. DVD arrived quickly in perfect condition and played flawlessly. As the title of my review suggests, I was worried about how the subtitles might turn out, having once bought a painfully nonsensical edition of "Il Mare." You see, I love "Il Mare"; the edition I bought mangled the poetic dialogue so badly I started learning Korean so that I would not have to filter that beautiful film thought the woeful nonsense that stood for english subtitles.Anyway, coming back to "' ' ' ' '" ("Tae Wang Sa Shin Gi"): the subtitles in this edition of the series is a credit to the wonderfully told story starring the fantastic Bae Yong Jun!

Beware flawed versions floating around!
This is an INCREDIBLE 29 episode Korean drama from 2008 starring Bae Yong Joon and many other talented Korean actors whom you will recognize if you watch a lot of K-dramas, as I do. But the version I got from Asian Entertainment had no subtitles and I had to return it. THIS SHOW DESERVES BETTER! It's truly a masterpiece. NOTHING like it has EVER been seen on American television. The special effects alone must have cost millions. Every episode is filmed like a movie, not a typical K-drama. Bae Yong Joon plays several roles, and does a fine job. Philip Lee is great as eye candy in one of his first roles. I give THE SHOW 5 stars, but the version I got I would give 1 star. If you love Bae Yong Joon and want to see this masterpiece I suggest downloading the files on dramaload.com. They have proper subs.

Awesome Series!
Wow! I've watched many great Korean drama series, but this one 's gotta be one of the best I've seen! The story is excellent. It's about the story of one of the greatest warrior kings of Goguryo, Gwangaeto the Great. A mixture of epic battles, love story, realism and fantasy, I couldn't stop watching it. The actors were fantastic, the costumes, the setting - there's was nothing to find fault with, and I'm a difficult critic to please. This was well worth the money I spent on this DVD set. A+++

Good but with flaws
I am half way through watching this drama and while the subtitles are good, there were a few episodes where the sound did not sync with the action. So far ep12 is the only episode I found that did not show subtitles, jolly showed "Episode 12" at the bottom of the screen throughout the whole episode. For the price I paid, I was a bit disappointed.

Bad Disks
The story itself is very entertaining, but the disks are horrible. They skip, freeze and the sound cuts out. There's no scratches on the disks so I have no idea why they do this, but it's made watching the drama very difficult. For the amount of money I paid for them I'm quite disappointed, I could probably get a better quality watching for free off youtube.

Subtitles
Everything came in very good condition, its true.. But when I went to play the DVDs I was extremely disappointed to find the subtitles written off the side of the screen where I can't see more than three words at best. I don't understand how a defect like that can exist in a product I have to pay this much money for.

Historic Drama
Love this Show... Here is an update for this show. Some of the disc doesn’t play well. Throughout the movie it’s very shaky and it freezes a lot. On disc 4 episode 16 it doesn’t play well, it always freezes like it has a scratch but I just started to watch this movie.

A masterpiece and poor edition.
The story by itself is a masterpiece and it's a real shame that what I received is a really poor quality of DVDs. This story is too beautiful to come with such disappointing quality of edition.
