Synopsis
About 500 years ago during the time of Chosun Dynasty, Korea boasted a rigidly hierarchical and male dominated social structure. Set in this period, “Jewel in the Palace” is based on a true story about a legendary girl (Jang-Geum) who became the first woman to be the supreme royal physician of her times. Despite her poor condition as a low class girl in the male dominated society, Jang-Geum overcame a series of social discrimination and landed herself as a royal cook, later becoming the royal physician, then ultimately the physician in charge of the king. She was even given by the king the title “The Great Jang-Geum”. The story of her checkered life on her success and breakdown as well as her love story beautifully unfold. “Jewel in the Palace” is sure to touch your heart.

Hi this is such A lovely drama I learn so much from this picture . I’ve learn all about herbs and cooking in A whole new light. This picture also teaches about perseverance and patience and about doing things the right way sticking to the tradition of things and not letting go from them because of our motives I would welcome another like that to My country Barbados again . The picture is rich in history and speaks also to what women endured in their time

This series was pretty good. I felt kind of bad for the king who liked her and he ended up dying for her. He could have said give me the surgery then be executed but he chose her over himself.

it is currently being re-run in my country. the days when some of actors/es were still so very young. Park Eun Hye looks so small, petite, and young here compared to her looks in Pink Lipstick. so were others…

i love this drama so much, i love how the korean culture is represented nd how it is also not so different from other world cultures. this serie………………………………………..i have no words to express how i feel
February 2nd, 2017 at 5:14 am
Cracks me up when they discuss their secret stuff behind rice paper walls and the opposing team need no sophisticated listening devices. They can sit outside and hear everything. LOL!
I enjoyed this drama very much and which probably paved the way for another wonderful period drama, “Dong Yi” with Han Hyo Joo and Ji Jin Hee who plays Min Jung Ho in this drama.
The beautiful Han Ji Min who played Shin Bi later played the lead in “Yi San” in which her acting had improved noticeably.
