Dae Jang Guem is the one of the most famous Korean dramas ever made.

Dae Jang Geum gets so famous when it was aired in MBC, 2003.  Most Koreans didn’t even know this remarkable woman existed to take care of King Jeong-jong’s health and food in Chosun Dynasty in 1500s.  Of course we knew there must had been some people in charge for food and medicine but we didn’t know that was a woman.

Lee Young-ae took the main character role and did magnificent job as usual.  You will find out that she will give you much more than you expect.  Her beautiful appearance with Hanbok (Korean traditional clothes) and her realistic acts have made this drama even better.

The original soundtrack, Onara (Please come), also gets well-known.  The rhythm must be very new to not Koreans.  Please enjoy some Korean traditional tunes here.
