Movie ReviewsAnother winning mini-series of feudal Korea Gerard D. Launay | Berkeley, California | 02/11/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "Those who have been enthralled by the Korean costume drama "Dae Jang Geum" (quite frankly one of the most stimulating mini-series ever produced), will be delighted with the web of stories arising out of 15th century Korea. Again we see magnificent productions of the feudal court with its intricate political reversals, love triangles, revenge, jealousy, and ambition.
What makes this series different is that it focuses on the Department of Eunochs, particularly one very intelligent yet ruthless head of the Department - Lord Jo - who engineers a "change of era" by poisoning the king when the young, ego driven, yet inexperienced monarch threatens to cancel the eunochs' opportunity - as a class - to wed partners or adopt children. The story follows the intricate political moves of Lord Jo, his adoption of a son, and the attempts to protect the Korean monarchy from corrupt ministers. While no Korean miniseries is going to rival "Dae Jang Geum", I did find this series to be consistently entertaining, better, let's say, than "Damo" - another series about feudal Korea. Go for it.
