About 500 years ago during the time of Chosun Dynasty, Korea boasted a rigidly
hierarchical and male dominated social structure. Set in this period, "Jewel in
the Palace" is based on a true story about a legendary girl (Jang-Geum) who
became the first woman to be the supreme royal physician of her times. Despite
her poor condition as a low class girl in the male dominated society, Jang-Geum
overcame a series of social discrimination and landed herself as a royal cook,
later becoming the royal physician, then ultimately the physician in charge of
the king. She was even given by the king the title "The Great Jang-Geum". The
story of her checkered life on her success and breakdown as well as her love
story beautifully unfold. "Jewel in the Palace" is sure to touch your heart.
