In a time when women held little influence in society, young apprentice cook Jang-Geum ( Lee Young-Ae of Joint Security Area and One Fine Spring Day ) strives to learn the secrets of Korean cooking and medicine in order to cure The King of his various ailments. But palace intrigue and politics impede Jang-Geum, as her fellow ladies compete to earn the King's favor and secure the top female positions in the Royal Kitchen. But Jang-Geum is far from ordinary. With her remarkable determination and wisdom, she takes on even greater odds, challenging numerous foes and even society to achieve a position never-before-held by a woman in Korean history! Dae Jang Geum makes its US debut with high-quality English and Chinese subtitles that capture all the fascinating details of the royal cuisine and ancient medicine of the 16th century time period. Co-starring Ji Jin-Hee ( Love Letter ), and full of stunning plot twists and clever political intrigue, Dae Jang Geum is an epic television event that redefines Korean popular entertainment! "Compelling writing, a very competent cast, and frequent Iron-Chef-like cooking sequences make the hour-long episodes go by too quickly" -- The New Companion Review: Better than good - Better than described Review: Passionate Film - Korean films of this genre are passionate yet wholesome. Great film for a family but with subjects that at not childish in any manner. Dae Jang Geum struggles agaisnt oppressive circumstances in a heroic manner. Moralistic actions are pan-culturistic for this economically poor girl trying to rise in a world of ridged rules of conduct. This is a powerful work that many can relate to; both men and women in the modern work-place. English speaking viewer should not dub film as it looses a great deal. Sub-titles are well done. Not a "chick-flick", not a empty headed film, it has great depth and cultural referance. Excellent for family that reads and is not educationally challenged.... ;-) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Contributor | Ji Jin Hee, Lee Byung Hoon, Lee Young Ae | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 46 Reviews | | Format | Box set, Color, DVD, Full Screen, NTSC, Subtitled | | Genre | Drama, Romance | | Language | Korean | | Runtime | 18 hours | ## Images ![Dae Jang Geum vol. 1 [DVD] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Ju13InI9S.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than good *by S***1 on March 7, 2026* Better than described ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Passionate Film *by S***N on November 10, 2006* Korean films of this genre are passionate yet wholesome.

The "Korean Wave" (or "Hallyu" as it's known in Korean) is a phenomenon that began around 2000, where consumer demand for Korean culture, food, movies, etc. experienced a huge surge throughout Asia. "Dae Jang Geum" was the import that sparked this wave and for good reason. It's a fascinating drama and look at Korean society and court life during the reign of three kings in the Joseon dynasty (roughly 1450s - 1540s). Filmed for viewers with longer attention spans than the dramas that saturate American television, "Dae Jang Geum" is paced slowly at first, picking up speed towards the middle of the story. By episode 30 you'll be enthralled and unable to tear yourself away. In spite of a few outlandish claims, such as the protagonist "inventing" surgical techniques (surgery was actually introduced to Korea in the 1880s by an American missionary). The storyline is credible and exciting. Court intrigue forms the core of the drama and will have you on the edge of your seat cheering for the main character, a lovely and talented female doctor named Jang-geum. My only gripe is that DJG features a number of factual errors, such as the lead character "inventing" surgery and "discovering" anesthesia. I'm sure other historical inaccuracies might be noted by viewers with a background in Korean history. I was torn between watching this drama and catching up on old episodes of "Lost". Needless to say this drama won, which gives you an idea of how good it is. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/90837430-dae-jang-geum-vol-1-dvd](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/90837430-dae-jang-geum-vol-1-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
