I love this submitted by Dayoung Nam on August 11, 2011, 3:32pm I love this story in Korea, too. What do you think. Is Hong Gil Dong is evil or angel??
Excellent submitted by andreayun on October 4, 2020, 12:28pm Some mixing of Korean phrases and words (transliterated into English). Nice to read this famous Korean story in English! My 6yo loved it. The illustration is excellent. I'm not sure if it follows the original text closely, but it seems legit. There is a great historical summary in the end of the book.
