In its tradition of providing hit Asianovelas in the history of Philippine television, GMA Network once again airs the well-loved Koreanovela, Jewel in the Palace, on the Afternoon Prime block starting Monday (May 26).
Considered as one of the highest-rating Asianovelas in the Philippines, Jewel in the Palace is set to bring back memories to the Filipino viewers’ weekday afternoons with its moving storyline, intense scenes, and impeccable performances of the cast.
Because of Jewel in the Palace’s success in the Philippines, two of its stars, Yang Mi Kyung who played Lady Han and Jo Jung Eun who portrayed young Jang Geum even visited their Filipino fans.
Jewel in the Palace will definitely capture the interest of Kapuso viewers once more as it showcases the timeless story of Seo Jang Geum (Lee Young Ae), a court lady in the Royal Kitchen who bravely faces conspiracies and intrigues to rise and become the first ever female physician in the Royal Palace.
With her pure heart, Jang Geum will eventually win the hearts of Min Jung Ho (Ji Jin Hee), an admired military man who serves as a guard in the Royal Palace and King Jungjong (Im Ho), the 11th king of the Chosun Dynasty. Conflict arises when Choi Geum Yong (Hong Ri Na), the long-time rival of Jang Geum in the Royal Kitchen, finds out that her first love, Jung Ho actually has special feelings for Jang Geum. This gives Geum Yong another reason to compete with Jang Geum.
Catch the rerun of the phenomenal Koreanovela Jewel in the Palace that will touch the Filipino viewers’ hearts starting Monday at 5:00 PM only on GMA Afternoon Prime.
