The Kingdom of the Winds, also called The Land of Wind (Korean: 바람의 나라), is a 2008 South Korean historical drama, broadcast on KBS from 10 September 2008 to 15 January 2009. It is set during the Three Kingdoms period and features fictionalized portrayals of several historical figures from that era. It was directed by Kang Il-soo, written by Choi Wan-gyu, Jung Jin-ok and Park Jin-woo and adapted from a manhwa by Kim Jin.

While King Yuri is away fighting barbarians, the heads of tribes stage a coup against him, but he defeats them and kills the mastermind. Sang Ga, the head of the Biru tribe is spared of punishment because of his refusal to contribute in the coup. Yuri's new son is born with a grim prophecy that he will kill his family and ruin the kingdom. Yuri announces he will kill the baby to prevent the prophecy. Prince Hae Myeong disagrees; but to no avail. The baby is apparently killed in the ceremony, but Yuri gives him to Hae Myeong alive and healthy and tells him to take the baby somewhere he could grow up and live his life, naming him Muhyul (meaning "soulless"). Hae Myeong gives Muhyul to his former love Hye-Ap, who protects Jumong's tomb in the cave.
