    • Trivia
      The script originally included a kissing scene between Seo Jang-geum and Min Jung-ho, but Lee Yeong-ae, who plays Jang-geum, felt it wasn't necessary and that the drama did not need such scenes in order to generate viewer ratings. Hence the scene was removed.
    • Quotes

      A Confucian Monk: Your fate will be destined by three women. You killed the first woman, though you didn't want to. You will save the second one, but she will die because of you. The third one will kill you, but save thousands.

    So lucky to have found this ...
    (Just finished the series in S.F./Oakland bay area channel 32 - KMTP (KMTP). On the 4th of July.) WOW! I was always reminding myself that she'll be OK, so calm down. (I looked up two sites to help me):

    1. The Chicago Korean Drama Fan Club at:

    http://deiner.proboards48.com/index.cgi?board=daejanggeum - excellent site!!

    2. http://hkadb.net/info/Jewel_In_The_Palace - details of each hour.

    The subtitles are fantastic and clear. The details of all the characters is again fantastic. The cooking and medicine details are amazing. Her adopted parents and friends are priceless. THE WHOLE SHOW IS FANTASTIC!!!

    Being 2006, I'm sure, I'm the last to find this "jewel" (sorry - could not resist) it did first come out in 2003. Hope more are as lucky as I am, and find this great series.
