Dae Jang Geum in India
Dae Jang Geum in India
On Saturday 24th September, Korean drama Dae Jang Geum began airing in India during prime time on the country’s state-owned DDTV. It will be shown over the next two years. The Korean Embassy in India said that they have seen locals respond very enthusiastically to the drama: “Indian viewers who watched (Dae Jang Geum) told us that they marveled at the colourful royal costumes and various foods, and that the way the drama is unfolding is very unique and mysterious, causing curiosity,” said a representative.
Hopefully this new development will finally persuade the BBC to air Dae Jang Geum in the UK.

More than 150 million Chinese, much bigger than the whole UK population, watched DJG every night. It was a stom.

DJG is airing on Japanese broadcasting NHK the 3rd time. The 3rd airing would finish on Nov 18th.
A Japanese newspaper said that DJG is a textbook for businessmen.
A famous Indian poet Rabindrananth Tagore wrote a poem for Korea as follows. He is a Nobel prize laureate. He wrote the poem in 1927, when Korea was the darkest and hopeless period of her history. It was colony period of Japanese empire.
He wrote it Indian language and translnted into English by different people.
"Lamp of the East"
Early in the golden age of Asia
Korea was shining brilliantly
Where there is no fear in the heart
Where the head is high to the sky
As the knowledge is free
Where the world is not split by narrow walls
Where the clear flow of knowledge
does not lost on the harden habitual sand field
Where words spring from the bottom of the truth
Where the endless efforts open arms to the perfection
To the infinitely spreading thoughts and acts
Where our spirits are lead
Wake up such a freedom heaven
Our iternal motherland Korea
On the day the lamp relit
You shall become the Light of the East.
This poem gave hopes to Koreans. Korea became independent from Japanese Empirism and got freedom 18 years later.
