 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.

 So Good Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I don't usually say this but this was definitely one of the best K-dramas that I've ever seen. It keeps you glued to the tv from beginning to end. There isn't a dull moment in this series and I literally mean it. They give you moments to catch your breath but you're still always on the edge of your seat waiting to see what happens next. Wonderfully written and beautifully executed by the cast. Definitely worth every penny of it and you definitely want to have this in your collection. The only thing I don't recommend about this is don't buy just one series at a time because you will be greatly disappointed when you finish the first volume and you don't have the next one to watch right away.

My favorite!!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
This is my favorite drama that I've ever watched in all of korean drama times. It is so worth the money. I have heard that there are some dramas with 3 volumes that have boring parts to them and are slow, however, this drama is never boring!!! There always seems to be a new fresh twist and turn. Even when i was watching volume 3, and it ended, I was so sad that it was not longer. lol. I really recommend this drama to anyone who is looking for a great drama to watch for a life time.

 One of the BEST!! Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
Knowing that this drama was 50+ episodes, I was hesitant to watch. But, after watching the movie, "The King and The Clown, and it's minor explanation of the death of King Yeon-San's mother; I was suggested to watch this drama by another fan in order to understand why the King's mother was turned to kill herself. The first two episodes of this drama was included as the 'special features' in, "My Lovely Samsoon," so I was able to watch it. After watching those two episodes, I became completely hooked. That same day, I ordered the first volume. Dae Jang Geum is a beautifully casted, filmed and well written drama. I completely adored the young girl who played Dae Jang Geum and her character having the determination to become the best with pure devotion. All the characters are well portrayed and defined. This drama is very informative on the aspects of health, food, sincerity and hope. Even though, I'm usually not a fan of watching a drama or movie set during historic times, I found myself not being able to stop watching. Women were very proper and elegant during those times. Definately cannot wait to watch the rest. This drama truly defines the quote, "When one door closes, another opens." Highly recommend this drama to everyone.

 Wonderfullly made TV series Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I have watched about 30 Korean TV series. Jewel in the Palace is truly the most wonderful one in these movies. I am so happy that I have this series in the family movie library. The story line is very intelligent, the casting is superb, the music, the scenery, the dialogue among characters, I am eagerly give them 2 thumbs up. I feel grateful to everyone who has made this series a reality, and it enriches my life so much. The bad news is , this movie also makes me feel so bored watching other movies. To me, this series is the first-rated movie ever. Million thanks to the people who have put the English subtittles in for me and my husband to enjoy it.
