The drama continues to be airing and just entering their own 8 episode. First broadcast : March
twenty two , 2010, upon Monday & Tuesday 21 :55 (korean Time)
The rating continues to be under 20% but i believe this drama is quite promising.
So, what's the drama all about ? The story is all about Lady Choi Suk rubbish bin the concubine of
King Sukjong from the Joseon empire who may be the mother associated with 21 st King
associated with Joseon, king Yeongjo. Before all of the glory , Lady Choi Suk rubbish bin had a very
difficult and a difficult life story. It a bit like Dae Jang Geum series, it's about the battle of woman who
is wise , bright, truthful , little bit persistent , and never give up with a large luck to outlive and restore
her family name.
Before she become Lady Choi Suk rubbish bin she was known as Choi Dong Yi, a little woman from
the cheapest class from the society. The Historical history is Joseon dynasty within the era
associated with King Sukjong (1674–1720, nineteenth King associated with Joseon empire ). Choi
Dong Yi is actually energetic, wise , brave, persistent , and always curious little girl. The woman's
family is a lowly commoner in the culture. Her dad , Choi Hyo Won is a coroner and he is very vibrant
one. The woman's big brother is actually Choi Dong Joo is a palace musician , he plays Haegeum, a
conventional Korean chain instrument, resembling a 2 stringed fiddle. But without Dong Yi knowing ,
her dad and sibling involved in a secret company called Geumgae, in fact the leader of Geumgae is
Choi Hyo won himself. But Geumgae is not a digital rebel organization, Geumgae is just a business to
help lowly class people who treated unfair or injustice, for instance, reduce class people are used to
be created as scapegoats and the nobles just sent them because slaves.
So, the Geumgae organization enable them to escaped and provided a few protection, such as Robin
cover I think. Sukjong is a great king but there have been many struggles between faction in his rule ,
the Namin faction (Southerners) and Seoin faction (Westerners). Sukjong tried to appease them with
many ways, such as marrying ladies from each factions to balance the political energy. One of their
concubine is actually Lady Jang Ok Jung, later on she become Jang Hui bin. The hui rubbish bin
title is offered after she gave birth to a son (king Gyeongjong associated with Joseon). Lady Jang and
Choi Dong Yi may compete within the struggle for the throne.

2. Choi Hyo won and his boy were wrongly accused because murderer, these were accused to kill
search engine optimization Jeong Ho (a nobleman, Seo Yong Gil's dad ). Seo Yong Gil is a Police
Officer who really trust Choi Hyo won and regard him because teacher and friend even though Choi
Hyo Won is actually from Chonmin class (cheapest class within society). Seo Yong Gil experienced
betrayed and lost confidence with Choi Hyo won. Though Choi Dong Yi confronted search engine
optimization yong Gil and said that her dad is not guilty , Seo Yong Gil nevertheless in doubt.
Finally, Choi Hyo Won and Choi Dong Joo were executed. Before Choi Hyo won died , he requested
his topic that such as his own boy , Cha cheon Soo to rebuild the Geumgae organization. Choi Dong
yi left alone because orphan, she thought not only her dad and sibling , but Cha Cheon Soo were
additionally died. Dong Yi decided to hide herself in Jang Ak won which is palace music school , the
place where the woman's brother accustomed to work.
Dong Yi fulfilled with Sukjong by accident. Dong yi is so curious about the changes in music
instrument that influnced the music's octave, and the royal Court decided that this is a bad omen to
the royal Household. The Queen Dowager Myeongseong decided that this is a bad omen and it
brought on by Lady Jang Ok jung. So she liked to expell lady Jang. Dong Yi looked into this case and
she fulfilled Sukjong that also looked into the same case. But that time Dong Yi never recognized that
"the Nobleman" is actually Sukjong, the King themself.
The king impressed by the woman's warmth and smartness and later chose her because his
concubine.
This drama is awesome even though just getting into their 8 th episode , I love since there are many
kind of Korean conventional music devices. From Dong yi we can learn how the Chonmin - the lowest
course of Joseon dynasty have been treated. NObody recognized all of them as a person , they are
handled as an resource for the respectable. How the Chonmin class struggle with their solidity of life
and their own hope. There are also cntradictions associated with person's born hierarchy associated
with 18th century Joseon dynasty. This series shows the life associated with Lady Choi Suk rubbish
bin who really amazing to transform the woman's son to become the next king and she is so wise
through the deadly politics infighting within Royal legal courts.
Lady Choi manages to endure and protect her boy , Prince Yeon Ing (later on become king Jeongjo
associated with Joseon). She raises the woman's son right into a well-balanced and educated person
though really strict self-discipline.
The one that appeal to me more is the Geumgae organization, the key Chonmin course swordsman
organization of Joseon dynasty. Perhaps because i love watching fighting techinques movies so
much :)

3. This drama is like korean CSI i believe and I adore CSI!
Live as a king in Joseon dynasty is so amazing, the King's lady also has a rank within the palace.
Here are the position tops out there is Wangbi ( Queen Consort, address because Jungjong). There's
only primary Consort at any given time.
Then involves other Consorts which is distinction between Jeong is equivalent to upper first class or
right honour ) & Jong (equivalent reduce 1st course or the left honour).
Heebin (1st position Jeong, this is actually the rank that Jang ok Jung may assume later on & gets
the well known Jang Hee Bin)
Sukbin (1st rank Jong), this is the name that Choi Dong Yi will assume later following she delivered a
boy (King Yeongjo of Joseon)
Then comes (Gwiin 1st rank Jong but less than the “Bin”)
Soeui ( 2nd rank Jeong)
Sukeui ( 2nd position Jong)
Soyong ( third rank Jeong)
Sukyong ( 3rd position Jong)
Sowon ( 4th rank Jeong)
Sukwon ( 4th rank Jong)
With so many members in the home , the royal Household's budget could be really huge.
This series definitely stressed about the Korean conventional music devices. Like in Dae Jang Geum,
we may find out about Korean cuisine and medicine , business things in Sangdo, and in Dong yi we
can learn that music is actually divided into 3 Parts,
1. A ak, is often called "stylish music" delivered to Korea within 1116 via a large gift of guitar from the
tune Dynasty (china ) Emperor Huizong
2. Hyang ak, are conventional folk dances of Korea performed before audiences. Hyang ak features
a sort of oboe called a piri and types of stringed devices.
3. Dang ak, is a a style of conventional Korean courtroom music. The name indicates "Tang music ,"
and the style was first modified from Tang music during the Unified Silla period within the late first
millennium. It was continued through the Goryeo (935-1394) and Joseon (1394-1910) dynasties,
when along with hyangak and aak this made up the three approved styles of courtroom music.
