Back in the 90s and early 2000s, we got the first generation of the Korean Wave or Hallyu, which gave us pop stars like Kwon BoA, Rain, H.O.T, Seo Taiji, plus movies like My Sassy Girl, Attack The Gas Station, Park Chan Wook's Vengeance Trilogy, and Break Out: Spark The Lighter, plus dramas like Autumn Rain, Winter Sonata and Jewel In The Palace.
I'm a sucker for historical k-dramas, I've watched so many, but the one I love the most is Dae Jang Geum: A Jewel In the Palace (2003).
It's about the first female Royal Physician during the early to mid Joseon (Chosun) Dynasty. It managed to combine: 1) foodie shows, 2) palace and political intrigue shows, 3) procedural medical shows, and 4) historical drama.
It was GROUNDBREAKING, immensely popular, and had a significant cultural impact. There was a korean animation spin off called Jang Geum's Dream about the title character's childhood in the Royal Kitchen.
Korea Tourism Organization promoted Jewel in the Palace-oriented tourism in East Asia and the United States, and the main outdoor sets built by MBC for the shooting of the drama were purchased by the South Korean government. There's even a Dae Jang Geum theme park at the site of the sets where filming occurred!
It also rekindled public interest in traditional Korean cuisine, both locally and abroad.
HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Jewel In The Palace, aka Dae Jang Geum.
There's even a sequel supposed to come out this year, starring the same actress (who hasn't aged AT ALL somehow), 20 years later.

Agreed I want to hate him but at the same time I can't because I understand him he did what most people would've done to survive.
