Dong Yi

I had an opportunity to see a historical drama “Dong Yi” to show up on TV, Channel 3 last Sunday. Although I had an opportunity to see it only one time, I was impressed and would like to see its next episode because of its interesting theme. It also influenced me must try to find its summary story on Internet for advanced reading later.

Today, I will tell you all about it. “Dong Yi” is the story of a young girl who was born in Seoul Min, the lowest strata of society. When her father and her brother were executed with injustice, Dong Yi became to be an orphan. She had to sneak the arrest of an officer into hiding in the office that handled about dances and musical instruments which used for playing in the palace, and she also got assistance from prostitutes at the same time. Her intelligence and friendliness made her had an opportunity to work in the palace and met King Sukjong by chance. Her great ability about solving problems that nobody was able to do, made King Sukjong impressed her and changed her status from a servant became to be a king’s concubine, and gave the new name to her “Choi Sook-Bin” later. Then she gave birth to a baby, Prince Yon Ying Kun; this made King Sukjong favor her more. For this reason, she became to be an enemy of Jang Hee-Bin, a king’s concubine, and continually found the bad state and embarrassment from people who were in the palace. She was patient and kept everything in her mind so that she herself and her child could survive among evil political powers. She absolutely tried to make duties of a mother both taking care of her child with love and well admonishing him. Her child could eventually reach the status of the 21th king, and got the new name “Young Jo” later.

I think this drama can help the person who is dispirited become to be the person who is spirited. If people have effort, people can find success. Like Dong Yi who was born in the lowest strata of society and worked in the status of a servant in the palace, but she became to be a king’s concubine with her intelligence for solving problems. Her effort and endurance to obstacles enabled her live among evil circumstance in the palace through to the end, and made her child reach the status of the great king as well. This can show her great effort can lead her life to the great success.

This historical drama made me feel so impressed like “Dae Jang Geum”, a historical drama that has created impression to me for 7 years. I believe you will certainly be impressed if you have an opportunity to see it like me.

I intend to find opportunities to see it again!!!.
