YesAsia Editorial Description

MBC drama Dae Jang Geum, a.k.a. Jewel in the Palace, rewrote Korean television history when it aired in 2003. During its original run, it achieved ratings of 54% ratings, the highest viewer rating in Korean television history. Starring Lee Young Ae (Joint Security Area and One Fine Spring Day) and Ji Jin Hee (Love Letter), Dae Jang Geum is an epic television event full of stunning plot twists and clever political intrigue.

A historical drama based on a true story, Dae Jang Geum tells the tale of Jang Geum, the first woman to become the King's personal physician. In a time when women held little influence in society, young apprentice cook Jang Geum strives to learn the secrets of Korean cooking and medicine in order to cure the King of his various ailments. Palace politics and rivalries impede Jang Geum, as her fellow ladies compete to earn the King's favor and secure the top female positions in the Royal Kitchen. But Jang Geum is far from ordinary. With her remarkable determination and wisdom, she takes on even greater odds, challenging numerous foes and society itself to achieve a position never before held by a woman in Korean history!

My first favorite Drama Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I don't usually like dramas but this one I got addicted too and fast. I love this show! Jang Geum serves as a role model for all girls who struggle in the process of achieving goals. Her strength, perseverance, loyalty, Compassion and integrity should be things we all should strive for against the Lady Chois in our lives. We should all be like Jang Geum and I definitley recommend this show.

 English subtitles Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Enough has been said about DJG, so here are my thoughts that may or may not have been mentioned previously:

- The quality of the English subtitles (US Version) is excellent, although there were some glitches such as a missing “a”, or “the” in some sentences. But what impressed me the most was their use of certain English slang or colloquial expressions. It’s risky enough to use such words if you’re not a native English speaker and haven’t lived in the States, but when used, it was used by the right person, in the right situation, and in the right context. An example was the use of the word “man” by one of the male characters (as in “Man, I just can’t believe this…”). Also a situation where Duk-gu’s wife just figured out why he had been getting so “lovey-dovey” with her lately, and also “getting frisky”…the effect of these expressions was just hilarious and it matched their comical personalities.

- Although Lady Choi was the person we all loved to hate, the actress who played her (Kyeon Mi-Ri) really played the part…just pure evil. But when you see her in real life (she has her own website), she seems to be the sweetest woman you’d love to have as a friend and/or wife. Also in the cast reunion special on TV, she was the funniest of them all. But then, I wouldn’t mess around with anyone who’s like Lady Choi’s character, real or imitated.

- (SPOILER ALERT…Don’t read this if you don’t want to know the fate of Young-Ro): I thought the most spine-chilling moment was the very last we see of Yourng-Ro: Going into hiding, walking down the trail, then water dripping from above, she looks behind, you hear a scream from far away, and then her facial expression…and then it cuts to another scene. Whatever happened immediately after is solely up to your imagination (Head got chopped off? Thrown off a cliff…?) Man, I could hardly sleep that night after watching that scene.

 Epic Perfection! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Yet another kudos for this truly amazing, epic series. The storyline is full of important events that will determine the course of the characters' lives; plot twists and surprises. Although the director humbly, in typical Korean self-effacing fashion said he'd make a better drama next time, there are few (and only very minor) things, if any, that could improve this. Great attention to detail in sets, cinematography and such. The acting makes it easy to forget that there is actually a camera rolling behind the scenes and the highly acclaimed music is a great blend of traditional and modern. The chemistry between Lee Young-Ae and Ji Jin-Hee positively shines and the rest of the cast is great, too. Strong comic relief from Im Hyeon-Sik. Viewing this journey is an experience that will stay with you long after the final scene.

 Everything else was Perfect Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I absolutely love this series but it would have been perfect if they chose another actress to play the part of Dae Jang Geum. Young-Ae Lee's acting in this series was beyond horrible. She would have been perfect if she just played the part right. She was one of the initial reasons for my purchasing the DAE JANG GEUM series but her performance was such a failure on many levels. She was great in many of her earlier tv series and films but this performance of hers is by far her worst. But enough rambling on about that. I give this series a high 9 for everything else that was great about it. I have to say that I've become a huge fan of Hong Li-Na's. Her performance as Keum-Young was graceful and just perfect. I absolutely adored the numerous other characters in this series and they include Lady Choi, Lady Han, the younger kitchen ladies and adorable child actresses earlier in the series. Not just the characters but the setting of this series is just amazing, with all the great colors. And the food is one of the best things about it as well.:-) I would definitely recommend this series to everyone. Enjoy!:-):-)

 Awesome!!!!!!!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
My wife and I just finished watching all 3 volumes and I'm really at a loss for words. I have watched quite a few Korean dramas in the past 30 years, but Dae Jang Geum is absolutely the best I have seen. It explored the full range of my emotions from joy to anger to sadness to hope. One of the best series in any language I have ever seen. The english subtitles were by far the most accurate I have seen in their translation and conveying what was going on in a particular scene. You don't have to be Korean to fall in love with this series.
