The sequence of events was never dull and it kept one going episode after episode in anticipation. The Great General of Nakrang was particularly appealing and came out very masculine, also great acting! The costumes were very beautiful! The script was very eloquent, deep and intelligent. Hodong character could have been cast with a more robust-looking actor (as the lead actor was a bit too slim). The queens were beautiful as well as they were excellent actresses unlike the new generation of actresses many whom are so-so average in acting and looks. Casting of main characters was great, especially the kings and queens. I commend the producers, director, scriptwriter and cast of this drama. I am glad I came across this drama even though it was first released a while back, while searching for good dramas and specifically historically set dramas.

Due to low ratings 'Jammyeonggo' was shortened from its initial 50 episode schedule to 39 episodes.

'Princess Ja-Myung' is based on a Korean folktale concerning the Kingdom of Nangnang and their possessed of a mystical Ja Myung Drum which sounds by itself when enemies invade.Ra-hee is forced to pull out her sword to kill her half sister Ja-myung.
