Hi,

Have any of you watched the "Lee Young Ae Special" in Hong Kong TVB? I hope I could download that from torrent. I got some photo of her on that show, from her fan site.

I don't think that information was reliable since some link are broken and some dramas don't have information, I found this website, http://content.mbc.co.kr/e_mbc/drama.asp?idx=6 is more reliable (look at the average viewer and rating)

Just for your information from the same website,

"At this year's Korea Broadcast Award, MBC program "Daejanggeum" (Jewel in the Palace) was awarded the Best Program award. In addition, "Damo: The Legendary Policewoman" was selected as the runner up.

In total 203 programs were entered into this year's competition and 69 programs were pre-selected into the final category." Smile

*sigh* Just finished rewatching the series with the dvds I bought from yesasia. I felt immediate withdrawal symptoms after I finished the bonus dvd. If you guys ever have the chance, you should really watch the special tv program they made after DJG was over. It's really hilarious. The little girl who plays young Jang-geum accidentally called Ji Jin Hee unnie instead of oppa and his reaction was so funny ^_^

There were more programs? Aww, I wish the dvd had them all than just that one then =/ I love watching the extra stuff (I'm the type of person who buys dvds just for the special features ^^).

btw, could anyone romanize the track listing for the DJG OST?

10 Tidbits from the First 20 Episodes of Dae Jang Geum

Published on July 5, 2005 at The Straits Times

1. No fooling around
The servant girls, after entering the palace, are considered the property of the king with zero marriage prospects.

2. Rank absolutely counts
There is a head madam, top kitchen madam, lesser kitchen madams, fragrance madam, sauce madam and so on.

3. The king never eats alone
Every time the king eats, he looks like Elvis surrounded by an entourage from the kitchen staff to court officials to food testers.

4. Parrot blood virgin test
To join the palace, the blood from a parrot dipped onto the girls’ wrists must not flow down. Otherwise, they are deemed not to be virgins.

5. Early Viagra
A black pill containing extracts from a viper, kidneys of seals and essence of carps that makes the person who eats it so vigorous he can “climb a waterfall that is 10ft high”.

6. Ancient written curse
A nefarious piece of paper wishing ill fortune on a person.

7. Spoon poison detector
Detecting poison in a soup, the royal silver spoon changes colour.

8. Bee acupuncture
The sting from a bee is inserted like a needle in the tougue to cure afflictions such as the loss of taste.

9. Study groups existed in the 1400s
The junior palace girls formed cliques to study for their exams just like sorority girls.

10. So did porn
The same girls furtively peeked at a book with sketches of people in very shameful positions.

haha..this is funny...straits times is actually a newspaper/magasine right? can't believe this article was published..its so funny how these little things are pointed out!! I think the weirdest thing is the parrot blood...I mean the little girls that enter the palace are all like 10 years old right? Surely they are all still virgins right?? haha!! Also, imagine entering the palace and you are condemn from loving another man..that's so scary, I'd never enter, I mean if the king doesn't notice/like you then you are lonely for life..no wonder why their friendships are so strong!!
