A Must Have who watched "Dae Jang Geum"
Charlie Brown | Seattle, WA | 06/05/2005
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I am simply copying and pasting a review by a person whose name is Nicole:
it is really about how one remains true to where one started by overcoming one's own greed and desire. The lyrics of the BEAUTIFUL theme song roughly translates into; "Just because one comes here, one doesn't stay foreve, just because one leaves, one doesn't go away forever." In my opinion, this IS the real theme of the show, letting it go and humbly accept what's human (high and low of life, birth and death).."
Great Korean Soundtrack

"One of the best parts of Dae Jang Geum is the excellent soundtrack! It's like a blend of traditional Eastern and Medieval European styles, producing a wonderfully magical sound. It's mostly instrumental, but there are a few songs, one of which is even in English.
But either Amazon has a really bad supplier or else they're trying to stick it to the customer, because imports of offical legitimate Korean CDs generally sell for less than American CDs..."
Lovely Music

"Original Soundtrack from the fantastic Korean 54 episode story recently shown on the Asian Television Network. The music complemented a wonderfully written story about 16th century Korea and the little girl who grew up following her mother's footsteps, first as head lady in the royal kitchen and then as the first woman physician to the king. It is virtually a soap opera with such highs and lows emotionally. There is such joy and sadness. Each episode is like a cliff hanger of old time serials. Not only do I highly recommend the music CD, but also the DVD which is also known as Jewel in the Palace
