Artinya sendiri sangat sedih (dan kalau didengerin baik-baik, memang lagu ini terasa menyedihkan), menggambarkan kehidupan para dayang istana yang menanti dengan penuh harap untuk diperselir raja di masa Dinasti Joseon. Yah, sungguh kehidupan para dayang yang malang 🙁

Literally “The Great Jang Geum”, is mostly known as “Jewel in the Palace” in other countries. A great show in itself, I hoped to share this Korean masterpiece with you guys ASAP.

This is going to get a bit long so just scroll if you’re only interested in the soundtrack.

Some stats and Dae Jang Geum’s cultural impact:

The show’s been syndicated in over 60 countries and exported to 90 countries and the theme song has tons of different versions/languages of it. It’s known as one of the primary proponents of the Korean Wave by heightening the popularity of Korean pop culture abroad.

Summary and review:

Dae Jang Geum is is a fictionalized historical drama about the titular character, the “first” ever female personal physician for the King, who may or may not exist. The first half of the series shows Jang Geum as a talented cook, while the latter half of her being sent of to another island as punishment and then learns medicine and acupuncture.

Through a twist of fate and coincidences, Jang Geum ends up romantically involve with the scholar Min Jeong Ho. The show has a very straightforward cause-and-effect, events leading on to another, Jang Geum’s cooking knowledge which in turn would be beneficial to her medical skills, and karma eventually getting back at the show’s antagonists.

What I particularly liked about the show is its cast. The story was amazing in itself, but the whole cast performed superbly, and I liked how “realistic” the show’s romance was and was not “beautified” nor cliched. There was a moment in the script where Jang Geum and Min Jeong Ho were supposed to kissed, but Lee Young Ae (the actress of Jang Geum) insisted that it wasn’t necessary and that the show didn’t need that to generate viewer ratings. That was what made the romance so bearable and good – it was realistic and managed to be “pure”, and most of all carefully written as it doesn’t only specifically appeal to the “fan girls” and not come off as “suffocating”.

The adoptive father of Jang Geum was a good comic relief, and Jang Geum’s rival did such a great job that you almost felt pity for her and what she went through. The actress of her mentor and the show’s antagonist did an excellent job as well, and even in the entire series of her being cruel, she manages to show a tinge of rare kindness. Kudos for the actress who played Jang Geum’s mentor as well!

So, conclusion?

There aren’t really many Korean dramas I’ve watched nor enjoyed, but if you’re wondering where to start, please, PLEASE watch this! It will probably be the first show to make you cry on the first episode already.

Now, for the music.

All time favourite:

Alessandro Safina – Hamangyeon (Korean Version)

A love which would not end even if all the oceans are combined The high and drooping heaven told me to live together My love which will live and weep like a deep and rough sea Will flow surrounding the Cho River

The video is unrelated but the link has the lyrics in different language. One of the most emotional and romantic songs I’ve heard in a while. The music video that I wanted to show though wasn’t embed so I’ll just link it here. Jang Geum dropping her shoes on the beach is by far the greatest scene I’ve seen in a romantic scene.

Alessandro Safina – Hamangyeon (English Version)

The English version’s intro is equally mesmerizing as well.

Oh Na Ra I

The iconic theme song! 🙂

Kelly Chen – Hope (Cantonese Version)

Kelly Chen did a superb job with this as well.

Oh Na Ra II

Yun Do

Ahh, I could just imagine myself listening to this while sipping sake and reminiscing on my past loves. Mmm.

Dan Ga (“Short Song”)

Chang Ryong

As easily recognizable as Oh Na Ra.

0815(??)

A moment of silence of those who has watched the show.

Yun Bup

You know there’s gonna be some BADASS HELL’S KITCHEN when this plays!!

Kim So Hyun – The Legend Becomes History

That is some impressive opera.

APNA

Was a sad life for her to had her rival took her buried love and to ultimately be forced to follow the family’s ways. 😦

Is Jewel in the Palace worth watching?

A steep price but well worth it. This serial is a classic! this is a brilliant series about a young girl who enters the palace ... this is a brilliant series about a young girl who enters the palace as a kitchen maid and ends up something else entirely.

What happened to Lady Choi in Jewel in the Palace?

Choi Geum-young loses her position and is exiled along with the other officials. Through her dedication, perseverance and medical skills, Jang-geum saves the royal family from re-occurring ill fortune.

Is Dae Jang Geum based on a real person?

From the moment she appears onscreen as a seven-year-old, Jang Geum (who is loosely based on an actual historic figure) acts on her own judgment for her own purposes irrespective of what others say or do.

Is Jumong kdrama worth watching?

Jumong is as good as it gets. The show is a loose dramatization of Korean history and the efforts of Jumong to unite the kingdom and then drive out invaders. The character development here is truly awesome with about 20 significant characters that the viewer will come to know very well indeed.
