Way to go, Dae Jang Geum


Mention "Dae Jang Geum" anywhere in Singapore (and Korea) and you'll strike a chord with almost anyone.

The serial is dunno how many weeks in the run and the following has not seen any decrease. A personal confession - I'm a "Dae Jang Geum" fan!

Not only does "Dae Jang Geum" give its viewers a detailed lesson in culinary skills and TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), it is also a must watch for those who wants to excel in "office politics" (In "Jang Geum" case, "palace politics"). And to top it all, the script writer made sure there is emotional buildup and release in every single episode!

As a Christian, I find much encourgaement from the story too when I see how the main actress endured hardship and persisted in what is right. This is the ingredient for success in life. You and I may have great gifts and talents that come from the Lord. But it is the persistance to do good in the grinding of everyday life that polishes us and makes us shine for Jesus. Otherwise, we'll just be an unimpressive dull gem.
