No gays! Women in large shapeless dresses. Compelling drama based on real lives.
Worth it to watch the food ~ try Jewel in the Palace for a starter. There's a 'nurse ratched' in there, so be forwarned. She kills people by poisoning them, or by tricking the authorities into believing an innocent is really a traitor ~ Actually well acted ~ great costumes, good dialogue ~
I try to watch it when I’m in Japan, but it’s all in Korean with Japanese subtitles. I don’t think they show the same shows you watch. Mostly it’s 1/2hr dramas where everyone in restaurants are wearing padded jackets or boy bands with lots of make up.
