“The Great Jang Geum” (or Jewel in the Palace) movie became hugely popular all over Asia and is still currently the highest rated Korean drama of all time. There is a Dae Jang Geum theme park in Korea and spin-off restaurants, cookbooks, and fan clubs throughout Asia. Part of the “Korean wave” of the early 20th century, the movie also sparked interest in Korea food and history wherever it was shown.
