So what, you say, because thatвЂ™s how most of you feel watching Korean dramas? Well, thatвЂ™s because you donвЂ™t have to decipher old Korean language into English. Why? Because it feels like writing about a foreign film when I donвЂ™t quite understand the foreign language fully. Drama Comedy Romance Action Fantasy Horror Mystery Completed Tv Series NEW.I initially wrote about 90% of this almost 2 years ago, but as much as I loved Dong-Yi, I couldnвЂ™t help but drag, procrastinate, and rationalize to delay the inevitable because I generally donвЂ™t feel as comfortable watching or translating sah-guk (м‚¬к·№, historical drama).

They are the members of Sword Fraternity, which is the organisation made up of the lowest class people. Dong Yi lives with her father and brother in a slave village. Dong Yi EP 1 Eng Sub - The story begins in 1681, 7th year of King Sukjong. So do cut me some slack and let me down gently when you (you know who you are вЂ“ a few of you out there who are sah-guk virtuoso вЂ“ yes, dramaok, that means you, too) see any glaring mistakes.

But a family member extolled the virtue of Dong-Yi so much that just to appease her I watched it. Kpop Girl Groups.I know for a lot of Giant fans out there in the kdrama world, Dong-Yi was nothing more than an annoying competition and yet another, yawn., a historical boring epic like I also thought initially. After that, Dong Yi finds the assassin ID and hand it to the police.

So, instead, IвЂ™m going to tell you a little bit about the important characters and what scenes stood out in my mind as worth remembering. I give Dong-Yi an 8, while I would have given Jumong 7 out of 10.As much as I love to tell the whole storyline, summarizing 60 episodes that way in this short space may be neither feasible nor desirable, since the idea here is to whet the appetite, not eat until bloated. The last time I enjoyed a historical epic drama was Jumong, but I would actually rate Dong-Yi higher than even Jumong.

And it really is an endearing story if you can get past the (enviable?) fact that a king in those times could have as many wives as he wants or is necessary to beget a son. From a romanticistвЂ™s point of view, it is a sweet enduring love story spanning 60 episodes between a king and his consort. It is based on a true story about a peasant girl who grows up to be a consort of a king and later becomes a mother of a king, despite having an illegal revolutionary renegade leader as a father. And in the process of doing so, I hope you get some idea of what made this drama so great for me.The story of Dong-Yi is not anything groundbreaking.

The Seo-inвЂ™s unofficial leader is the original Joong-jun (after the kingвЂ™s mother died), while the Nam-inвЂ™s unofficial leader is Hi-bin, the second wife.Then there is the legal branch, which is officially and historically headed by Joong-jun. He instead had to constantly fight to exert his authority and at the same time try to balance the two opposing political parties.One party called themselves the Seo-in (the Westerners, the good guys, to put it simply) and the other the Nam-in (the Southerners, the bad guys). Contrary to what most people think when they think about kings, this king did not necessarily have the absolute power. The kingвЂ™s fourth wife then becomes the new Joong-jun which occurs toward the end of the drama.The political make-up of this kingdom shares uncanny resemblance to the modern government of the United States. (People address crown prince as Jae-ha, while king is addressed as Jeon-ha).

He loves her wit, warmth, and her company. The king, at least in the beginning, really loves Hi-bin. Because the king is known for his fairness, intelligence, and good heart, this political power struggle actually runs fairly smoothly until Hi-bin first and then Dong-yi later come in to his world.The king has known Hi-bin for over 10 years, and apparently his mother was successful in kicking her out of the kingdom, but Nam-ins managed to bring her back to the palace when the story begins. However, he does a superb job here as the benevolent king, while Dong-yi is played by Han Hyo-joo, whom I loved in Brilliant Legacy (м°¬лћЂн•њ мњ м‚°).

You have everything in your power, and she will lose everything and has to start over again.вЂќHi-bin concludes, вЂњThen are you saying that she is my shadow?вЂќ The monk replies, вЂњNo. You have everything, and she has nothing. вЂ¦ Light and shadow always go together, thus light will bring forth shadow.

In the framing process, Dong-yiвЂ™s father and brother get killed, and Dong-yi is hunted down as an offspring of a criminal. But the story starts its wheel when a certain elderman (Oh Tae-suk played by Jeong Dong-hwan who appears to play notoriously bad guy role more so than not) from the Nam-in group kills off influential nobles from the same Nam-ins who have different ideology from him and then successfully frames Geum Gae for the deaths of the nobles. The mission of Geum Gae is to protect the commoners from unfair treatment from the nobles, but never to harm or kill nobles. Well, suffice it to say that the title of the drama is вЂњDong-yiвЂќ and not вЂњOk-Jung.вЂќGeum Gae is a secret organization headed by Dong-yiвЂ™s father and is made up of the commoners (Cheon-min) including Dong-yiвЂ™s brother and her вЂњorabunyвЂќ Chun-soo. Up until that point Hi-bin thought her main adversary was the original Joong-jun.Of course Hi-bin becomes defiant when she remembers this conversation much later toward the end, and she tells herself that sheвЂ™ll prove the monk wrong as to who the light is and who the shadow is. Thus, if you can, try your best not to confront the child (Dong-yi) head on.вЂќBut Hi-bin doesnвЂ™t realize the child he is referring to is Dong-yi until the episode 27 (time 06:33) after her brother tells her that Dong-yi, whom they thought they were successful in killing, is alive.

ThatвЂ™s because Hi-bin is in cohorts with the elderman from the Nam-in group.
