Anybody? Help? Please? Kyukgu is the game mentioned in Monday's episode but I can't find any English-language material that explains what it is. We saw that hard, baseball-sized ball roll up to Choongnyeong, and I thought I heard a contact sound just before that as though the ball were being struck. But they didn't actually show us the game.
Would sure appreciate anything that anybody can share about it. Wonder how it compares to chuksukhee!

Candylover delivers, as usual. That did look like a polo ball, so it makes sense. I didn't see any of them holding mallets, but they came from over a rise so I guess they just dismounted VERY quickly and left the mallets there. Anyway, thanks for solving another mystery. I knew you would.

I'm hoping candylover has answers to my burning accessory-related questions as well. This game is MUCH more civilized than the whole rock-throwing thing!

You might very well score a point and come home with a huge bump on your forehead, one eye left, and 3 teeth left in your mouth. But hey, you scored. Your family would be proud  ... VERY proud.

I was cringing. It's so painful and brutal-why would they risk it? You could DIE playing that game. Wonder if it's just for soldiers? Could they have played it when they lived at home with their mothers?? aigu!   |
