Jewel in the Palace

In case u were wondering wat was that? The chinese name <大长今> tells it all. Yes, one of the best ever produce serial on Korean TV. Been catching the story eversince it was screened on cable tv. I have heard many positive comments on the show. It became the highest rating serial in Korea when it made its debut. Then HK, followed by Taiwan. Singapore became one ofthe last to broadcast on air.

Anyway, 李英爱 was good. If not for Lilian, i din even know she was 34. UNBELIEVABLE. Looks younger than her actual age. More importantly, she is so PRETTY. Many guys must have fallen in love with her. Her acting skills is wonderful, no doubt abt tat. How could i miss her show? As usual, i wanted to know wat happen next, could not wait, so managed to borrow VCD from a colleague. ha... Anxious lar.

In case u are still wondering wat the story is all abt, here's a little preview.

《大长今》讲述了一个宫廷中的女御厨如何锄奸铲恶的故事，但由于剧情的跌宕细腻，爱情戏又缠绵感人，再加上李英爱的古装扮相实在吸引，《大长今》几乎以创造历史的高收视让MBC赢锝眉开眼笑。 长今凭个人的努力、精湛的医术、无限的爱心，无私的关怀，成为朝鲜第一个女御医。

If you cant read, then too bad. Brush up a bit and u will understand. Afterall, the show has been dubbed in mandarin. Although i can watch in Korean, find it too tiring to read the subtitles. So i just relaz and tune in to the readily dubbed version. However, sounded too Taiwanese. ha....

Talking abt Korea, Ken has also been pestering me to travel with him to Korea. I dun really mind except for the language. Pple there speak KOREAN. They cannot understand even simple english terms. I remembered when i tried to order coffee, they stare at me without knowing wat i wanted. In the end, i had to walk into the counter and point it out to the waiter. *Faint!

Not to offend Koreans, i think Thai speak better English than them. Guess they are probably proud of their language or perhaps less foreign expatriates. The only thing that i miss in Korea is their SPA. OMG! Drooling now... It really smoothen my skin and release my stress after soaking into different baths. Of course, Ginseng Chicken too. But i can get tat in Singapore too. So not too bad. Hmmm.... Need to sleep now. Will dream as i sleep.....
