Korean Title: 대장금
Synopsis (possible spoilers): Dae Jang Geum (lit. The Great Jang Geum; aka Jewel In the Palace) is a historical drama(MBC: 2003-09-15 to 2004-03-23) that takes place during the Chosun Dynasty and follows the story of Suh Jang Geum. It starts out with showing how a young Jang Geum comes to lose her parents and ends up going into the royal palace in order to become a court lady who makes food for the King. During her time in the palace Jang Geum meets many obstacles as there are many plots and secrets within the palace and those eventually get her kicked out of the palace. Jang Geum rises up against this and returns to the palace as a court physician. Her skills are so great that she becomes the personal physician to the king, which of course stirs up a lot of controversey since during those times a woman couldn't even dream of holding such a position. There's a lot more to this drama that shows Jang Geum's friendships, loves, trials, and lessons that you just grow to love this drama as you experience what Jang Geum goes through. I can't go into more detail w/o revealing huge spoilers so just watch this drama and check out for yourself!
