@Hanktank I love how it goes from maid-in-training to kitchen maid to doctor. It covers a@lot of ground! #DaeJangGeum #kDrama

Third Part.
Personal view.
I was overweight many years, due to working irregular ( night-) shifts. That finished in 2014.
I always worked with many Asians, and got into Kdrama 2009.
Things learned from DJG and taking interest in TCM made me go down from 116 to 86 kilos.
Not 100% fanatic, but with all foodhabits you can implement certain rules/facts.
DJG outbeats all Jamies, Gordons and Nigella's 🙂

(Second part)
Besides this drama being a rare "everything fits" production, it's influence on foodhabbits worldwide has been tremendous,
DJG is not mentioned in the official journals , but several side-stories.

The serie was tophit all over Asia and other parts in the world , and a kick-off for Korean's popularity.

In the Netherlands, every Asian restaurant I asked if they know DJG:" Ofcourse !"

"Dae Jang Geum" aka "Jewelinthepalace"
@ 2003 , 54 episodes.

This drama is in my small list of AA-dramas.
Every episode feels like a complete film by itself .
Drama, cast, music, story , suspense, romance , enotions: Flying high, diving deep !

In 4:3 format still, but after first episode you're "in".

Based on how a little orphan girl grows up, to become private doctor of King Jungjong in 16th C.

Some sites you find with Google are good, some are tricky. Never had a virus, but some lot's of pop-ups.
But also possibilities for download.

In the Netherlands it is only Netflix as official channel for Korean/ Asian film.
But some countries in Europe have other channels.

There are more very good long dramas based on real history.
My favorites, rewatched once in a while:
#Queenseonduk
#Dongyi
#Jewelinthepalace aka #Daejanggeum

@SarahCallejo_author
There are about 19 running at any time.
It is about 2 of them I might watch.

i do rewatch certain dramas again. And again...
#queeunseonduk #Daejanggeum #DongYi and all dramas made by #Hongsisters .

Koreandrama.org website disappeared suddenly few weeks ago. It was very handy for keeping track.
And clear info about all productions ever.

My Kdrama addiction is still going on steady , after watching the first one in 2009.
Tipped by a forumbuddy in a Canadian forum.

( I am from The Netherlands, aka Holland, male ,69 )
i do watch new dramas too , if not oversweet.
Historical dramas I prefer, most I watch again if really good.
And again and...
