Oh, I definitely don't have the stamina for that! #EmpressKi was the only long historical drama that I'm glad that I watched. Jewel in the Palace #DaeJangGeum and #jewelinthepalace #DongYi made me feel like ripping my eyes out after the first few shouts of "Majesty!".

TFW you're conscientiously adding alt text to every image in a series of blog posts you're writing and think "to hell with it, they should know what 'eponymous' means' 😂 #KDrama #DaeJangGeum

When it comes to #KDrama, I love sageuks the way Pyeongyang loves Seoul. My few abortive attempts have left me with nothing to show for it except a reflexive allergic twitch to the word "jeonha!"

The one exception was #DaeJangGeum which I enjoyed for being a 'biopic' all about a FEMALE genius. It is pretty much a must-see sageuk, imo.

Now, it's finally time to double the number of 'pure' sageuks I've completed, I hope. Another biopic. Finally adding #TreeWithDeepRoots to my PTW

¨Dae Jang Geum"
2003, 54 episodes
A very influential Korean TV-drama, which started a new interest in natural ways of eating.
First in Asia, global later.

Not just the food, but when, how and why.
Wiki explains how accurate the description of her person is.
The title ¨Dae" (=Great) was given by the King.
As drama it is Top, puts every other food-related TV-show in the shadow.

@s1m0n4 @jodmentum Thanks! It's up there with #DaeJangGeum and #ForestofSecrets 1 & 2, whose English renamings make no sense to this grumpy old man
