昨晚,观众期待已久的、由韩国著名影星李英爱主演的韩国70集大型历史励志剧《大长今》正式拉开了在内地上演的序幕。虽然不少观众对刚刚播出的第一、二集感觉节奏太慢,但仍然对《大长今》中、后部分以及李英爱的表演抱以极高的期望。

 

'Dae Jang Geum' to conquer Chinese viewers

Tonight Hunan TV will introduce the South Korean dramatic series "Dae Jang Geum", the very first time this royal period drama will be broadcast in mainland China.

This hit show received an amazing viewer ratings share of 54% in South Korea, the highest in Korean television history. It continued its success with an average rating of 50% when aired in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Based on a true story, "Dae Jang Geum" tells the tale of Jang-Geum, the first female to become a personal physician for a king in ancient South Korea. Jang-Geum faces tremendous odds while working her way to the top of the royal court during 16th century Korea. Using her extraordinary determination and wisdom, she manages to achieve the impossible in a time when woman had little influence in Korean society.   

A spokesman of Hunan TV said that most of the lead actors, including famous actress Lee Young Ae, will be invited to Changsha, capital city of South China's Hunan province.   

This TV epic will be broadcast on Hunan TV throughout the month of September.
