Dae Jang Geum- the Jewel of the palace

Indeed, a marvellous piece of history ever revealed!

Dae Jang geum, a kitchen maid in the Palace, later turned into a highly honored medical lady doctor, became an unprecedented history of Korea.
Jang Geum was a little girl when she accidentally exposed her father as an officer of the palace who had killed the Ex-Queen, resulting in the pursuit of the authority to kill him.
This incident led to immense political upheavals thus giving the young Jang Geum an abnormal environment in the palace to live in.

When her mother died, Jang Geum was left all alone. Only relying upon her instincts, she survived all by herself through thick and thin.

The story ended up with a mix of romance, power struggle and persistence to excel
amidst greed.

I particularly enjoyed the film music, the themes, the lyrics and the beat of the traditional drums. It's rhythmathic and creative, fitting to various parts of the story.Viewers, pay special attention to the "Kitchen music" that rhymes with the chopping knives, pots and pans !
If you enjoy Erhu, Guzheng and drums, this movie will touch you.
