Korean title: 황진이 (Hwangjin-i)
What's popping:
The Korean Wave is breaking on Malaysian shores with a purpose, isn't it? Nearly every other channel on local TV is airing a Korean drama series. 8TV- checked. RTM2 - checked. Phoenix channel - checked. Prima channel - checked. Wah Lai Toi - checked. AEC - checked...you get the idea.
And now, we discovered that the latest TV network to join the fray is NTV7! Say 안녕 to Ha Ji-won's very popular drama Hwangjini!
The 3rd episode aired yesterday and we saw the transformation of the young Jini into a beautiful woman who loves learning how to become a gisaeng.
Her blind mother discourages her to continue, saying that she should settle down and start a family, but the determined young lady prefers the arts than family life.
Also, Jini meets an admirer, Eun-ho (Chang Keun-seok), who is a nobleman.
So far, the elaborate costumes in the period drama reminds me of Dae Jang Geum. And like Jang Geum, Hwangjini is at a "school" learning the finer skills of her art.
The plot:
The story of Hwangjini, the legendary gisaeng (similar to Japan's geisha) or entertainer who lived in the Joseon era.
Kwon Sang-woo in Love, So Divine. She must be a pro at it already!
Watch it:
- NTV7 - free TV, yay! (Astro Channel 107)
- Monday to Friday
- 9.30pm to 10.30pm
- Dubbed in Mandarin with Bahasa Malaysia subtitles; toggle function doesn't work. Darn.
