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....

What is the difference between DVD5 (regular_version) and DVD9 (economic_version)?

DVD5 (regular_version) is a single sided single layer DVD that stores up to about 4.7 GB = 4 700 000 000 bytes and that is 4.38 computer GigaBytes where 1 kilobyte is 1024 bytes(4 700 000 000B/1024 = about 4 589 843KB/1024 = about 4485MB/1024 = about 4.38GB) . Video DVD, DVD-R/W and DVD+R/W supports this format. Often referred to as "single sided, single layer".

Since a DVD5 storage space is only about 4.7GB, the DVD5 box set comes in many discs to accommodate the complete set. It comes in a PAPER CASE COVER with another inner PLASTIC casing. Discs comes in sleeves.

DVD9 (economic_version) is a single sided dual layer DVD which can fit up to 8.5 GB or 7.95 computer GB which many commercial video DVDs are using today (a DVD-9 is basically two pressed plastic DVD-5s pressed together, they are not burned). Video DVD supports this format but DVD-R/W and DVD+R/W does not support this format.

We have two types of casing for our DVD9 Box set, depending on titles and availability. Since a DVD9 has about double the storage space of a DVD5, it use less discs to make up the complete set. For this reason, the spine of the box is thinner than the spine of the DVD5 box set. It comes in a HARD CASE COVER. A DVD9 box set will open up similar to a book.  The DVDs are store securely inside the panel(s).
