Terms of Endearment (Tv Series)

60 episodes

Synopsis

This drama shows how devastating and hurtful it can be for a woman to live with a boyfriend before marriage and not end up tying a knot with him. Korea has the second highest divorce rate in the world as more and more families become ruined -- mainly because one of the spouses cheats. To make things worse, the mass media continues to champion premarital cohabitation as a choice that unmarried couples are free to make. Terms of Endearment depicts today's harsh reality and once again reminds us of the sacred meaning of marriage and the importance of family.

There, he sees his people being kidnapped and killed by Tang pirates. He comes back to Shilla and asks the king permission to clean out the Tang pirates. Jang Bo-go seizes control of the seas and returns peace to his people again. Pirates fled at the name of Jang Bo-go, giving him the name ‘Hae Shin’, meaning ‘Sea God’. During this time, Shilla’s royal house was in tumult because kings were being kicked out after only a few years of ruling. One royal family member comes to Jang Bo-go for aid to kick out the current king. He takes the offer and kicks out the king and enthrones the royal family member. In return, he was promised that his daughter would be married to the new king’s son. However, the king dies after several months and the prince tries to keep his promise to Jang Bo-go. But, due to opposition by the royal officials that the daughter of a peasant cannot be queen, the promise was broken. Furious, Jang Bo-go starts a rebellion, but is killed by an assassin sent out by the king. He and his family name were condemned forever.
