Jang Geum's Dream
This Korean anime is an adaptation of a popular Korean drama. I'd like to give my personal thanks to #ppalgan-anime@irc.rizon.net for subbing this because if they hadn't done so I would never have discovered this really great show!
I'm really happy to see another anime that focuses on cooking. Since Yakitate Japan was finished, I've been longing for a cooking anime. They are very rare. So far, besides this, I've only seen Cooking Master Boy, Yakitate Japan and Oishinbo. It is a shame that good anime about cooking is so rare. I'm also wondering who it was that recommend Jang Geum for the sceening test for court ladies. On the surface it seems that it would have been Han-Sanggung, but somehow I suspect it might have been another. Perhaps it was the King, since he was so fond of those noodles? While we aren't listing this on AnimeSuki for several reasons, I hope that others will also download the first episode here and try it out. If you like it, at least the first 26 episodes can be found with English subtitles on yesasia. For those who are curious, it isn't listed on AnimeSuki because of both the existence of those subtitled R3 DVDs and the fact that it is Korean, rather than Japanese animation. Enjoy.

I've been watching its raw since its been airing in NHK. I love the songs by Younha and the cute chibis characters in the ending credit.
Thank God ... It doesn't follow the original live action series to be so serious and dramatic. The anime just adopt same plots, story concepts and characters. Spoiler:

Why "Thank God" that id doesn't follow the original live action series? Did you dislike it? Or was it just too serious for you?
I find there are many dramatic and serious elements on the anime. Jang Geum has a tragic background. People sneer at her for being common and I expect there will be a lot more inter-class trouble after she goes to the screening. There is a plot to kill the king and it seems that Jang Geum will be a suspect. Isn't that dramatic enough? Or do these elements fail to become important in a story? I'd be somewhat disappointed if this show became a comedic farce.

Might this the be same Jang Geum's Dream (here it's titled "Jewel In the Palace") live drama that's outrageously popular in my country (Philippines) right now!? So now they're trying to sell an name AFTER a live action drama!
The opposite trend worked here a couple of years back when they released "Meteor Garden", the Taiwanese live-action adaptation of "Hana Yori Dango" |

I am not totally against the live action series, i've learned some cooking techniques from it. The seriousness in series is okey for me but one thing i don't like in live action is most male characters covered their face with beard/mustache that make them look ugly. Unlike in anime all characters were cute and adorable. |

Interesting. I didn't notice that before I downloaded it. Since I wasn't logged in and I didn't have any trouble downloading it, I'd say that it isn't of any real concern.
miaka: From what you say, it seems the anime has a better balance of drama and fun. I might hunt for the drama sometime so that I can compare the two, but it seems the anime is also more to my taste. Now, what is that about medicine? Why does medicine become important? Or is that a serious spoiler?

Yes, the drama is serious - but it is a lot more mature in my opinion, the characters are more complex and tragic, the storyline more suspenseful and less generic. Without being too emo, the dorama gives insights into Janggeum's psychology. *sigh* (On the other hand, I have only seen the first episode, and written about it here.) I am a hopeless Dae Janggeum fangirl, so I will watch this anime in case it doesn't get on my nerves too much... Oh by the way, there also is Addicted to Curry which is a manga about cooking. Considering how popular Yakitate Japan and Oishinbo are, I think that cooking manga are a hit *hrr* |

That's true. Lots of Japanese animation scenes get outsourced to Korea. Korean animation should receive recognition. The blanket definition for anime should be recognized imo.
Thanks for ep. 1 and 2.

We have the script for episode 3. I've been busy with other stuff to get a chance to time it. The problem is that we have no more translator. So unless someone wants to help us out, the project is basically over after episode 3.
