The fact that we know the real endgame makes it difficult to watch the love they might have had. that's right.....I should give a try I guess.... do you like history and its accuracy then don't but most people don't even like history so i would say watch you may like or not. As for the storyline, the struggle between the seo-in and nam-in has been mentioned multiple times, but it is somehow un-engaging. and another one too nice , just like Dong Yi . Anywho, i like how right now, ok jang's main priority is freeing her mother and moving to Qing, with no desire to fall in love and get married. Streaming & Nonton Jang Ok Jung Subtitle Indonesia, Nonton Drama Jang Ok Jung, Download Drama Jang Ok Jung 240p, 360p, 480p, 720p HD, stream drama full episode ⦠JOJ what ?? So I welcome a story like this, telling story from a different point of view. The final show-stopping number is an ornate wedding gown (hwarot), which has all the young maidens squealing: “I want that for my wedding!”. fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); Jang Ok Jung joins Lee Soon and his soldiers where she observes their training to create new and improved armor. What's turning people off is either the revisionist part of the show or the modern-esque feel to the traditional era. Also, Dong Yo became royal concubine a way before Inhyun and Hang Heebin met their fates because her son, future king Yeongjo, was born in 1694 and both Inhyeon and Jang died in 1701. It does. Father-son relationship here gets my heart bleeding. She’s the only one capable of replacing his dead daughter, and he figures that her girlish wiles and his silver tongue will open any and every obstacle they’ll come across. She wasn’t the intended date for Dongpyung, but was instead sent by her spoiled client to measure him for clothing, so all the misunderstandings add up to Yi Sun thinking that she’s his intended. I don't find JOJ enjoyable at all. I'm too feel at the end of episode 4 it's weirdly edited... For me her crying scene is abit out of place also. Maybe we can got more clue at epi 5. Love the chemistry between YAI and KTH. D’aww, he’s adorable. The problem is, as is a problem with many dramas that have childhood phases, the story was more compelling in the past than it was in the present, coupled with telling a very different tale tonally than its present counterpart. True, but it still doesn't change the ending. Some viewers were also complaining that they used mannequins even though it was clearly stated that this is going to be a saeguk with some modern flair. Login to create it. So far I enjoy watching this drama. For those reasons alone, I am watching this show, but I haven't gotten far enough to know if I like it. Of course it's awkward because that's their first meeting. Ok-jung knows how her uncle works, especially since he made his late daughter into a palace maid, and firmly denounces him. Historically, King Sookjong inherited the throne at the age of 14. Yes, even Kim Tae-hee's acting isn't sucking. I can't wait for the next episode. I enjoyed Arang so I do have a soft spot for GFB. What i like about dramabeans is that people can come here and voice their thoughts/feelings/opinions without having to worry too much about people bashing them with incoherent thoughts, cause we're all here just to share our k-drama addictions. Why would a son want to vindicate his father for not being crazy? ... Jang Ok Jung, Living by Love. Here we were even shown the stars before delving into the backstory, as if the show wanted to reassure us that beautiful faces would be waiting for us at the end of it all. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, I loooove Princess Man. I'm really liking the OTP. And we see that “one day” in another flash to the future, where that maidservant is introduced as CHOI SUKBIN (Han Seung-yeon), the sukbin being another title denoting her status as a royal concubine. I think Jang could have become independent of a man without being betrayed. I like GFB and JOJ intermittently, although i think as of now GFB has alot more praise and fanbase, so i think it's rather JOJ might not be someone's cup of tea. So even though her memoirs are a valuable source of the life in Joseon court, it cannot be taken as a face value. Not only is he angry with Jang Hyun for funding the Southern (nam-in) faction, he’s angry that Jang Hyun parades about like a noble when he isn’t one. Her dad finds her while her body is still swaying, and holds her feet close through the bars. So yeah. Turning her from a villain to a nice person, and then knowing what's going to happen in the end makes it just plain cruel to me. For pretty much no reason at all. I think Koreans are just not open to the re-imagining of a well known history villain as a misjudged hero. Jang Ok Jung Episode 19 Jang Hee Bin diperankan Kim Tae Hee, ia merupakan seorang selir terkenal pada jaman dinasti Joseon. (And no, I’m not really sure why we keep cutting to black and white.). Agreed. The story line, the characters, the cinematography, the directing. But there's a flaw that I can't stand: the plan to kill the king that keeps failing just because the same simple mistake. So WAS there ever such a rebellion? Queen In Hyun is looking virtuous as of now. She won’t become another pawn for him and makes that stance clear, though something tells me Jang Hyun doesn’t take “no” for an answer very often. And Hong-joo isn’t a human being. In that version I don't care if they make In Hyun or Dong Yi evil, cause them going up against each other with their respective tactics is intriguing in itself. Just go watch yourself. There are no mentions about it in king Hyeonjong's biography (Sukjong's dad so he would have been the king at the time of rebellion). By continuing to use TMDb, you are agreeing to this policy. The guys come along later.) Thanks for the recap. You got it wrong. Tags: featured, first episodes, Hong Soo-hyun, Jang Ok-jung Live By Love, Kim Tae-hee, Yoo Ah-in, Your email address will not be published. While this episode was a technical achievement that surpasses its time slot competitors (which is almost a given when the network overlord is SBS), in the scope of setting up an entire series, it wasn’t a structurally ideal first outing. I love sageuks for their historical backgd. you've just got me so excited! Then we get a rather jarring quick-cut to the future, when Ok-jung and In-hyun meet face to face in the palace – though by now, In-hyun is queen and Ok-jung has been bestowed the title of heebin. aaaaahhhhhhhhh!!! js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js"; Her father’s funeral is the next day, but Ok-jung finds dearest uncle Jang Hyun waiting outside the threshold. Also, a weak first 2 episodes, and the rest is history, most people abandoned the drama. We do not know if the Jang Heebin was the villain and if the queen Inhyeon was this sweet poor victim as they seemingly are often portrayed. (which is historically true?) I agree with you. She clearly threw the deed onto the floor and told them to get the hell out. I'm just keeping an open mind. With the King unconscious, the Western Party plots how to gain complete control and throw Ok Jung out of the Palace. I think the scene is jumping (which is a flaw) and I presume she was laying there because of exhausted swimming to the riverside. HeadsNo2, Dramabeans, Jang Heebin was probably almost as fictional as this drama airing at the moment if not for any other reason than simply because we just know so LITTLE about the lives of these people that if you want to make a drama about it, you have to invent a lot just by yourself. I agree, KTH is really ruining it for me too. Tetapi sifat yang dimiliki oleh dirinya sangat kejam dan gila akan kekuasaan. One of the palace eunuchs tracks down PRINCE DONGPYUNG (Lee Sang-yeob), Yi Sun’s once-removed cousin, and begs him to play the geomungo for the Qing emissaries to help buy time while Yi Sun brings back the old master. LS realized his responsibilities through the cruel reality of the king's power. She marries the king for family honor, and the king doesn't even love her. Despite his anger he promises that he’ll set her free, and brings his hefty bribe to Minister Min, who literally throws it back at him. You want her to show even more anger; it's not enough? As long as it's not trying to pretend it's playing accurate. Still contemplating whether to watch this or not, and I've heard good reviews about it, but it's a pretty hard story to swallow since there are tons of remakes portraying Jang heebin as the villian and I feel like the show is trying to feed the viewers with Jang heebin the angel fashion designer, and everyone else is evil. I've read transcaps of this but dramabeans just has a special way of narrating as well as giving history or just an extra flare. April 8, 2013. (you gonna recap the whole thing? However, I like seeing what maybe could have been, or a different side to the story. It’s like a boutique, only Joseon style. When the promotional materials for this show came out, claiming that they’d turn a figure commonly known in history as a villain into a heroine, I was half intrigued, half ambivalent. Thats what a sageuk ought to be, from writing, directing, music, with a production team that knows what the hell they are doing. Why does his son favor his grandmother instead of his father? so to set this story on that famous part of history was a wrong decision this could have been a ratings hit had it been just a fantasy romance. Personally, I am fine with this re-imagining. It also written for you to sympathize with Ok Jung. That is why history is written by the victors. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I am enjoying this drama. While the story of the infamous Lady Jang is somewhat well-known (since it’s been dramatized over and over and over again), it’s worth having a little background on a period in history this drama is attempting to subvert. Because I felt based on her reaction in previous scene with her mother, she seems so strong and can handle her emotion for facing it. Politics is always the 0% sum game. Just simply talking rudely to the noble can result in you getting beaten 60 times, tortured, or even hanged. Just like Rooftop Prince. However -- it's not unappealing, which is an odd reaction, because I'm not even very impressed by the senior actor's performances. Pros- surprising chemistry between KTH and YAI. (How do you not support a prince who's trying to prevent a war and a woman trying to free her mom?). the thing is being a history major and a huge history literature guzzling monster i just can't get into the story twisting the history to give a different perspective on a tale yes even we do that in our class but but for the sake of giving a different perspective change the whole history that is something i can't get behind. I agree with you. I am glad you will be recapping Jang Ok Jung. (For all I knew there was a slew of diaries left behind for historians to pour through.). Film Terkait. Lady Jang establishes herself as a coveted fashion designer who quickly finds herself sought after not only by fashionable noblewomen, but by the king himself. And myths are made to be turned upside down and inside out. It's Regency Romance transferred to Joseon. She a refreshing heroine. It is based on the 2008 novel Jang Ok-jeong, Live for Love by Choi Jung Mi. I can however, understand why it may be received poorly by Korean viewers. hahaha. In the meanwhile, In-Hyun and Dong Yi have been portrayed as virtuous, therefore deserving the love of the king.

Ok Jung discovers Lee Soon's true identity, and the Queen falls gravely ill. With Queen Inkyung's passing, the Queen Mother puts a plan in motion to ensure Inhyeon becomes the next Queen. I like to be thorough with my explanations, which is where you probably thought i was saying you were dumb. (Because she has no time to waste getting hysterical in the corner. I think what makes this one different is that the writers write it as a love story between Jang Ok Jung and King Sook Jong from beginning to end. what i like about JOJ is how the politic is simple but not simplistic that insult my intelligence. Both of them were later executed, Prince Boksun given poison and Jang Hyeon decapitated. The King receives news that shakes up the government. Didn't expect Yoo Ah In and Kim Tae Hee have such a good chemistry. However, Yi San was son of the said crazy prince so I don't quite see why he would've wanted to twist anything - it doesn't sound plausible that a son would want to blame his father of being crazy because it might cast doubt on the son's mental capabilities, too. Before she goes to meet her lover, Hong-joo gifts Ok-jung with a handmade norigae. Prince Dongpyeong is the one responsible for getting Jang Ok-jeong inside the palace and made a servant under Queen Jangryeol (Sukjong's grandmother). There have been many reinterpretations of history done by postmodern historians in the last few decades that question a lot of things in the historical records about Yeonsan, Sado, Lady Jo, Gwanghae, Jang Ok Jeong, Jang Nok Soo etc. I like Yoo Ah-In and hope he will showcase his talent with quality roles in the future. We find In-hyun being carried in a palanquin through the mountains as part of a plan organized by Queen Myeongseong to have In-hyun and Yi Sun “coincidentally” meet so he’ll think it’s fate. She receives a visit from the future QUEEN IN-HYUN (Hong Soo-hyun), though she’s not queen yet. Yi Sun’s mother worries about the match because her son is no fan of Minister Min, so the sly politician suggests that they hide In-hyun’s identity as his daughter until she’s safely married to Yi Sun. Who won? I hope they don't make her the villain, but from what I've watched so far it's heading that way.... :(. i'm from india so here if we make a drama saying gandhi ji was actually bad i can guess how much ratings it will get and how fast its banned. It wasn't my intention. This resulted in a purge, in which 2 leaders of the Nam-in (Southerners) were accused by the Seo-in (Westerners; led by Kim Seok-ju). Yoo Ah In and Kim Tae Hee just look really awkward together for me. She an ambitious woman He is basically a total ass taking advantage of her misfortunes. Episode 1. ), But I adore chess-players. I wouldn't say that Joseon's history was written by the winners or random historians. Can't wait for next week. A series of misfortunes falls upon the palace as both newly restored Queen Inhyeon and Crowned Prince Yoon become critically ill. Jang Ok Jung is wrongly framed for committing crimes punishable by death, forcing the King to order her execution. All on jTBC. IMHO, once we set free from the historical facts and “rules”, we could accept and enjoy the show. Not gonna watch anymore, maybe when Jae Hee appears. Her dead father is lying right there, and you want to admire the girl’s needlework? They're taking a completely different route with the characters. must be her limited range of reactions/facial expressions. You also have to keep in mind that Dong Yi was the mother of Yeongjo and because of that highly regarded. Hong-joo tells the story with longing, sighing that such is the fate of a palace maid – if the king doesn’t like you, you die alone. I'm really sad that this show's ratings are so poor. Sung Dong il's character will probably adopt her. ;), First, thanks for putting up this one-off (if I understand correctly?) High-heels…speechless there. Meanwhile, King Hyeonjong (Yi Sun’s father) frets over how to please the Qing emissaries in attendance of a festival he’s thrown for them, though they only want to see the most famous geomungo (the traditional Korean black zither) player perform.
