Loosely based on the true story of 'Jang Geum', whose triumph during the reign of Joong-Jong (1506-1544) during the Joseon period is recorded in the Korean history, this is a record-breaking drama that touched the lives of many, while topping the viewer ratings during its run in Korea. Jang-Geum's (Lee Young-Ae) tale begins with a prophecy given to her father during his self-imposed exile from the palace while he was an officer carrying out death sentences. The monk prophet tells him that three women he meets; the first whom he kills, the second who saves him, and the third who will kill him but save thousands would control his destiny. The foretelling comes true and Jang-Geum, who loses her parents at a young age is soon brought into the palace to follow the footsteps of her mother who was once a royal kitchen maid. Through her intelligence and determination Jang-Geum, along with the help of her mentor Lady Han (Yang Mi-Kyeong), soon rises to be the most creative and skilled cook. When she gets caught up in the conspiracy of the Choi family, represented in the royal kitchen by Lady Choi (Kyeon Mi-Ri) and her niece Geum-Young (Hong Ri-Na), her fate seems destined to end tragically like her parents. Through her righteousness and courage however, and the love of Lady Han and Jang-Geum's admirer captain Min (Ji Jin-Hee), she eventually gets noticed by King Joong-Jong (Lim Ho) and his queen. The Choi's will not concede though, and continue their evil plans with Jang-Geum seemingly a target they must get rid of at all cost....
