I'm telling you, hear these: these 2 shows are damn good.
And I'm more and more like those old times aunty housewives, hooked on watching the cantonese dramas.
Both are now showing on StarHub Channel 55.
If it's ever showing on FTA Channels, go watch them.
Both shows are about women.
The former is a Chinese period drama, talked about a group of power thirst Empress & its royalty Concubines, their evil plots... etc. just to get Emperor's attention & his blessed power.
Underlying message: Don't mess with women. You're not going to have a good life should you annoy them.
The latter is a Korean period drama, talked about a group of power thirst royalty Kitchen ladies, pitted against one another using their culinary skills to get into the good books of the Emperor & his royalty members, for their own kelong needs ...
Underlying message: Don't mess with women too.
Actually, I didn't know there're so much similarities between Chinese & Korean. Until this show.
Both do share common religion of some - taoism.
Both use a lot of chinese herbs in their food for flavouring and healing.
Both use accupuncture for curing.
Both believe in steaming, boiling, brewing food for long hours.
Apparently, they did a lot of exchanges according to the history.
The power of media is how it can pull one into the story world, immerse himself in his own world of (thought) reality and even for that couple of hours or any time taken.
With that, I think I'm too stressed up with work. Need to be transported back in time.
