Customer Reviews :
"I've watched it twice, once on tv and once on DVDs. The latter
was watched in Korean and it's even better to hear the actors/actresses' own
voice. The courage and persistence of JG was very inspiring. The love the couple
shown for each other was gradual but true. The love of the King was conservative
but brave. The scenery and song/theme music were all very awesome. Even the
small characters, such as her foster parents, acted well. My eyes watered while
watching the whole series! I highly recommend it to drama lovers."
"It is not important whether the premise of 'Dae Jang Geum' might
have its base on Japanese comics such as 'Shota No Sushi' or 'Master of Taste,'
for the writer of this show manages to create a universal story of hope,
courage, patience and LOVE while maintaining what's most KOREAN in terms of the
costumes and the settings. Although it seems to be one woman's 'success' story
on the surface, it is really about how one remains true to where one started by
overcoming one's own greed and desire. The lyrics of the BEAUTIFUL theme song
roughly translates into; "Just because one comes here, one doesn't stay forever,
just because one leaves, one doesn't go away forever." In my opinion, this IS
the real theme of the show, letting it go and humbly accept what's human (high
and low of life, birth and death)....very buddhistic (NOT to say that this show
is religious in any means)."
"Jewel in the Palace is one of a kind. I've never seen a series quite
like it. The roles were portrayed naturally by the actors. From the beginning to
the end, we were so engrossed by the story, captivated by the characters
splendidly portrayed by the actors and enthralled by the sheer beauty of the
costumes. Jang jeum and min jio ho as well as the other actors were great. we
could feel every emotions and passions each character conveyed so much so that
we still hunger for more. I personally believe that though there be a thousand
episodes still the movie would be the best. No wonder 'Jewel in the Palace'
rated top in asia. No film could equal Jewel in the Palace.' We hope that more
films be created like 'Jewel in the palace.' Of course with the same actors for
i believe that they have done and given their very best. Good luck and more
power to the casts and crew of 'Jewel in the Palace' hopefully there will be
more films like it. Once again CONGRATULATIONS JANG JEUM."
"I loved EVERY SINGLE MOMENT of Dae Jang Geum, it inspired me to
dream, hope, aim for high goals. the story is very inpirational, filled with
love, hate, competition, friendships, especially towards the end. recommend it
to everyone!! "
