The story of “The Great Seer” is set in the late
Goryeo Dynasty in which a group of Feng Shui advisors to the government
authorities help the hero Lee Sung Gye become the first king of the Joseon
Dynasty.
Title : The Great Seer / 大风水
Genre :
Historical, Politic, Action,
Romance
Episodes : 36
Story :
The Great Seer begins during the reign of King
Gongmin (Ryu Tae-joon). But despite being about seers,
geomancers, divinators and the like, this drama is less about the fantasy and
more about the political movers and shakers — people who had the power to
advise, and therefore control, kings. Ji Jin-hee
plays Yi Seong-gye, the general who led the overthrow of Goryeo and
established the Joseon Dynasty, becoming its first king.
Mok Ji-sang (Ji Sung) is a
gifted seer/geomancer, born with the ability to see into people’s pasts and
futures. There are those who believe falsely that he has dark supernatural
powers, thinking him possessed by ghosts. When he comes of age in the late
Goryeo era, he becomes a scholar of divination, and a reader of geography,
faces, and the like to tell fortunes — an area with much influence at the time.
He eventually becomes a "king-maker," who holds the key to a major
political shift in the overthrow of Goryeo and the rise of Joseon when he backs
General Yi and effectively shapes the future of Korea as we know it.
Kim So-yeon
plays a healer whose destiny is tied to General Yi, but she falls in love with
the seer. And Song Chang-eui plays the rival advisor. Lee Yoon-ji
joins the cast as Ban-ya, a woman who was sold off as a gisaeng at a
young age, but becomes a concubine to King Gongmin’s advisor, and bears a son.
King Gongmin takes in that son as his, and the boy becomes King U
of Goryeo — the king that General Yi dethrones in a coup d’état.

I like 2 actors in “The Great
Seer”. They are Ji Jin Hee and Ji Sung. I like the actor Jin Jin Hee since the
TV series “The Jewel of Palace”, and then followed by “ Yes, Captain!” I think he is a very good and cool actor. As
for Ji Sung, he acts very good in this drama, I think. He is a smart person in
the series. Let us take a preview of “The Great Seer” below.
Frankly speaking, I am really enjoying watching “The Great Seer” as the story is interesting and quite exciting. Moreover, you able to know some knowledge about the Feng Shui. I did not know that Korean so believe in Feng Shui besides Chinese. Haha! :P
