Movie Title: Dae Jang Geum vol. 1 Dae Jang Geum vol. 1 is available for streaming or downloading. |
If you are interested in foreign films, ethnic food, or foreign cultures, this is the DVD set (1-3) for you…based on the true story of a woman, an orphan. who struggles from poverty to become a doctor to the king and other members of the Korean monarchy. Indeed no other woman in the history of Korea had this distinction since normally no otherwoman but a wife or concubine could “touch” the king. How a woman could accomplish such a feat is due due her determination, her kindness, and scientific intelligence. As her rival describes her, even if you succeed in banishing her from the court, she will come back like coarse grass. Mesmerizing in every way: plot, scenery, characterization, historical detail, romance, cliff-hanging endings, herb science, costumes, sets. Too few films “in any language” provide meaningful role models for young women unconnected to violence. I LOVED this series and the principal female character. DAE JANG GEUM is not so much an episodic film as it is an experience. This mini-series became the most popular show in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Korea. As one reviewer put it, once you see a few episodes, you are “addicted” to see this series to conclusion. Purchase the First Set for Christmas or Birthday Gifts and your friends and loved ones will not be disappointed. Five stars? Absolutely.
If you’re a fan of historical drama, costume drama or just drama in general, Dae Jan Geum is for you. This is some of the best televison I have ever seen, in any language. It ranks with some of the best feature films in its production values. The sets are so incredible and detailed that after the end of the series, it was converted into a theme park so that one could tour the realistic recreations of the Chosun royal palace kitchens.

While words like “mouth-watering” have been used to promote the show, it’s really not about cooking though a lot of cooking scenes do take place - many episodes of the series revolve around food and the preparation of it. Food is just a touchstone used to explore differing philosophies of life and how even the most mundane things can be used as tools in the hands of the good - and weapons in the hands of the evil. There’s plenty of intrigue, from the lowest servant rebelling against authority by making onions too salty to the hastening of a royal death by the serving of too-rich meals, but also an exploration of love and hate and what it means to live in such an artificial and repressed atmosphere as that of a royal palace.
It’s not all backstabbing and stir-frying though - there are minor characters who give welcome comic relief. A sweet romantic thread also runs through the story. There are even martial arts scenes and a short display of ssrieum, the Korean counterpart of sumo.

One thing not to be overlooked is the beautiful and sometimes haunting soundtrack. Western instruments playing music with a Korean flavor (a kind of reverse 12 Girls Band!) give the series the right ambience without alienating those who might not enjoy traditional Korean melodies. The soundtrack is worth buying on its own merits.
Because it’s a television series, each episode begins with a synopsis of earlier plot points and those tend to become tedious when watching the DVDs. There are many flashbacks also used to remind viewers of past incidents and that can also slow down the flow. Of course that’s what the fast-forward button is for.
Shop around. Amazon does not have the best price by a long shot. The entire series can be had in one huge boxed set (complete with additional trinkets referenced in the show).
This series is certainly addicting - expect to spend all of your free time for quite a while wallowing in the trials and triumphs of the great Jang Geum.
