NONTON DRAMA JEWEL IN THE PALACE SUB INDO SERIESHaving stumbled upon it late one night, the series had me hooked from Ep 1 through the very last. I cannot possibly express enough accolades about this series. I mean the court ladies are constantly making mountains out of molehills.Īnyway if I can get past my disgust of the leading man I hope to continue watching this otherwise beautiful drama and am looking forward to seeing more of Jang Geums' journey as she grows in her skills. I have enjoyed this drama up until now mainly due to the ambience of the drama, the cooking and the two ladies aboveīut so far it could be really titled "Much Ado About Nothing". Really Jang Geum should not have continued working somewhere where they treated her adoptive father so abhorrently. No one even apologized to the poor father when they arrested and mistreated him after the prince was paralyzed. After that every time he smiles I just think he is a fake. I mean how can one want our lovely Jang Geum to be matched to someone who is so mean that he can't even take a few minutes to find out what's really going on and not seriously mistreat someone whom he obviously thought was a commoner. That really put a spanner in the works for me with regard to wanting to watch more for awhile. Then when he finds out it's the father of the girl he is starting to fancy he suddenly becomes 'nice'. So I was enjoying watching Jang Geum and the lovely Lady Han and was in awe of the incredible knowledge that Koreans have with regard to food combination and the medicinal values of foods, and looking forward to the ensuing romance, till Jeong Ho started callously mishandling Jang Geums' father when he discovered him with the sauce pots. Park Jung-Sook - Queen Dowager Moonjung.Jo Kyeong-Hwan - Prime Minister Oh Gyeom-Ho.She was even given by the king the title "The Great Jang-Geum". Set in this period, "Jewel in the Palace" is based on a true story about a legendary girl named Jang-Geum who became the first woman to be the supreme royal physician of her times.ĭespite 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. About 500 years ago during the time of Chosun Dynasty, Korea boasted a rigidly hierarchical and male dominated social structure. ![]()
