In-soo (Bae Yong Jun) rushes to Samcheok upon learning that his wife, Su-jin (Lim Sang Hyo), who went on a business trip, had a car accident. There he finds Su-jin still unconscious in a hospital in an unfamiliar provincial town. In the process of dealing with the aftermath, of the accident, he finds out that Su-jin was in the car with another man named Gyeong-ho (Ryu Seung-su) who is also unconscious and is lingering between life and death. The injured man¡¦s wife, Seo-young (Son Ye Jin) also rushed to Samcheok upon hearing the news. In-soo and Seo-young feel angry and betrayed when they learned about the relationship between Su-jin and Gyeong-Ho. As they nurse their spouses, they feel a chemistry developing between them. How will their tender yet sad love story unfold in the unfamiliar town of Samcheok?
What I Think:
Oh My God! As much as I love Son Ye Jin (She is like in my top 5 most fave Korean actresses list) April Snow is so disappointing. I just want to give my kinda unbiased review. I think this movie is just so hyped up because it stars Korean wave actor, BaeYong Jun and Son Ye Jin. The music, well I think the background music doesn't help at all, zest is lacking in there. The scenery, oh okay, the scenery is good! The snow in the middle of April thing is good. The whole feel of the film is just plain sad. The first part of the film is so dragging, there were lots of scenes where all I heard was dead silence. Tsk Tsk Tsk.
Stuff worth mentioning? Hmmm let me think. Bae Yong Jun and Son Ye Jin has little chemistry going on that's the good part, at least they've got something going on. The scene where Seo-young showed In-soo the videos of his wife in bed with Seo-young's husband, he was so sad and angry all together there. All their love scenes okay Bae Yong Jun's hot bod; I didn't know that all those muscles were hidden underneath those sweaters. ļ Hehehee..and Son Ye Jin too was hmm shall we say very beautiful indeed. Nah, you just watch those scenes for yourself, Bae Yong Jun was all over her!
I so didn't get the ending.. But I reckon that In-soo divorced or left his unfaithful wife (they had a serious talk in that one scene remember...) then both In-soo and Seo-young, after they both see the snow in mid-April, they meet together again..

Synopsis from krystalheart.com
Suh Chun-soo, a military officer, is ordered by the King to give poison to the queen. Upon the order for her death, she protests that this is a conspiracy meant to eliminate the royal line of power. Saddened and angered by this order from the king, she vows that when her son becomes king, he shall seek vengeance on her murderers. She drinks the poison and dies.
Suh Chun-soo meets a wise man one evening and he is told what will become of his fate. The wise man tells him that he will meet three women in his lifetime that will determine is fate. The wise man says, "Although you killed the first woman, you will not die. Although you save the second woman, she will die because of you. The third woman will kill you, but she will save many lives." The wise man tells Chun-soo that Chun-soo has already met the first woman. Chun-soo asks how he can avoid his own death by the third woman. The wise man tells Chun-soo that he must not meet the second woman if he doesn't want to meet the third woman. The wise man throws some clues written on a piece of rice paper to Chun-soo. As Chun-soo picks up the paper, the wise man disappears.
Chun-soo serves the king for ten years and decides that he wants to leave. Then one day while traveling along a creek, he finds a woman passed out along the bank. He rushes to her aid and saves her. Afterwards he realizes that he has met the second woman (from the wise man's prophecy). As much as he tries to leave the woman, she pursues him because she has no place to go. Her name is Myeong Park, who is a court lady in the Royal Kitchen. Myeong is a victim of conspiracy that lead from an attempted murder ordered by the court ladies in the Royal Kitchen. Now that Chun-soo has met the second woman, he cannot escape his fate and will eventually meet the third woman who will end his life.

One day, Jang Geum's parents both die and Jang Geum is forced to live on her own. Before Jang Geum's mother dies, she tells Jang Geum that her last wish is to have Jang Geum become the Head Kitchen Lady of the Royal Kitchen, a position that Myeong has always dreamed of since she was a little girl. Little Jang Geum enters the Royal Palace and becomes a kitchen maid and eventually becoming a court lady (like her mother).

Learn about Jang Geum's journey of becoming the first female head physician to the king. Through many challenges and trials, Jang Geum is supported by her close friends, adoptive parents, and most importanly Sir Min Jung-Ho who has always stood by her side. Sometimes life isn't always exactly the best paved road. Sometimes you have to take many detours before discovering the real path to your true destination.
I have never been a big fan of wu xia series (ancient series) like this stuff but when I got to watch Jewel in the Palace, everything changed! I absolutely looooooovvve ¡§Jewel in the Palace.¡¨ People have been telling me to watch the series, but when I saw the dvd box set of 9 cds (that is a lot of episodes¡K) oh Lord, I just cannot do this. But when its local run started, I figured I must see this one. I watched it for a month. ƒº
I am at a loss where to start, but let me start with the acting. Lee Young Ae was marvelous! I have first seen her in a series ¡§Irene¡¨ I think. I didn¡¦t finish that series but I think she was far off better in acting here in ¡¥Jewel in the Palace¡¨ She is just different, she doesn¡¦t look as beautiful as Song Hye Kyo or Jeon Ji Yeon, not as regal as Kim Ha Neul but I loved her! She was so good in the drama scenes where jang Geum was being tortured, being bullied and all. Jang geum was resilient, beautiful, intelligent, loving, she was close to perfect.
Jee Jin Hee, awwww I like his character too. He was a knight-in-shining amour! He was the silent crowd who helps and cheers Jang Geum, he was always there for her, I reckon Jang Geum will always be safe for as long as Jin Ho is there beside her.
The antagonists are so¡Kgrrr I so hate them all! They are really good actors because I absolutely loathed them till the end. Madam Cui, you know I think she is so pretty really really pretty but she makes Jang Geum¡¦s life difficult so I hated her.
Yon seng, Jang Geum¡¦s best friend was also so beautiful and so loyal. I really like her too. She was still thinking of Jang Geum¡¦s safety even when she was already the Queen So-waen.
The ending interview clip: I just want to talk about this one bit. The good old Madam Han when you watch her in Jewel in the Palace she looks very old right, like a mother to Jang Geum and stuff, but when I saw her at the ending interview clip, man she absolutely looks like Choi Ji Woo!! She was that pretty! Madam Han was equally beautiful too! Jee Jin Hee had shorter spikey hair and looks so gorgeous, and he is so tall too!
In the first half of the dvd box set, there were lots of scenes of cooking. So for people who love cooking, you¡¦ll love these scenes you get to learn the ancient Korean way of cooking and all. With Jang Geum, she incorporates the medicinal value of food in her cooking so there are lots of science, medicine and pharmacognosy here too.
I am listing down the memorable scenes here:
@ I have lots of favorite scenes in Jewel in the Palace, but I can vividly remember one scenes where Min Jin Ho and jang Geum were just walking and talking..
MJH: Are you happy? JG: I am Sad.
MJH: Are you sad? JG: I am happy.
MJH: Are you scared? JG: I am in despair.
MJH: Are you in despair? JG: I am scared.
Then they just laughed.
@ Madam Cui realized Jang Geum is Ming Yi¡¦s real daughter when she saw the little red notebook/diary.
@ Madam Han realized Jang Geum was her best friend¡¦s daughter and Jang Geum realized Madam Han was her mom¡¦s best friend and the one person she was looking for all this time. They hugged each other tightly.
@ Jang Geum trained to be a doctor to be able to go back to the Palace.
@ All the romantic times of Jang Geum and Min Jin Ho spent in Jeju Island.
@ When the King visited his concubine, Yon seng! That was so hilarious!
@ The first time Jang Geum hugged MJH when he saved her and came back for her in the village with an epidemic.
@ MJH proposed to Jang Geum and they ran away just to get secretly married.
@ When the king realized that he has learned to love Jang Geum, but he lets her go and allowed her to marry MJH.
@ Jang Geum and MJH¡¦s married life and them going back to the Palace with their daughter.
In "Jewel in the Palace" you¡¦ll get to see the aesthetics of Korean cooking, the beauty of the different places in Korea (these are really famous tourist attractions, like Jeju..) and their colorful culture.
Fact File: - In Real History, the King Did fell in Love with Jang Geum, but he can't do anything to save Jang Geum after his death...
-There is a person named Min Jeong-Ho, but he has no relationship with Jang-Geum at al
Geum Young(Jing Ying) and Court Lady Choi exsisted in the real history. In reality, Court Lady Choi was 10 times worser than the one in the show.. She apparently made Geum Young one of the King's comcubine, and also make Jang-Geum's life worse..
He was born into an average family. Even though all his parents want from him was for him to be an A student, he seems talented in many areas other than in academics. His athletic talents were noticed when he was an elementary school student. The various sports teams at his schools offered him a chance to play all kinds of sports, but he got tired of their hard and violent training methods, so he always called it quits. He managed to go to a small and unknown college and majored in physical education. It took him twice as long as normal to get his degree since he spent more time playing pool and dancing in the clubs. He sends his resumes to almost all the companies around, but he isn't called in for a single interview. Being a freeloader, he doesn't mind buttering up his little brother to get some pocket money. However, he never feels bad about his situation and always keeps his spirits high. He spends his days reading comic books at his friend's comic book store. Sometimes, he makes up his mind and sends out resumes to prove to his family that he's not going to be freeloader for the rest of his life, nonetheless his family doesn't expect much from him. He was once popular with the girls thanks to his handsome appearance and athletic talents, but now he can't even afford to take a girl out for a cup of coffee. He runs into his high school friend, Bong-Sam and happens to apply for a job in the company where his friend is working. His life is about to turn upside down thanks to some mistakes.
Lee Mi-Ok (Acted by Han, Ga-In)
She was born into a poor family. Her mother raised her by working as a maid. Being a smart child, she learned at an early age how to take care of herself as well as how to do housework by helping her mother. By the time she finished elementary school, her mother fell ill and they moved to her mother's hometown. She helped her mother make a living at which time she couldn't even afford to go to middle school. As soon as her mother got better, she resumed her studies and graduated from a commercial high school. Since she was such a hard-working and smart student, she got a job with the help of her school principle's recommendation. She met Bong-Sam who was working at the same company and fell in love with him. She and Bong-Sam had a serious relationship, but Bong-Sam left her and was transferred to an overseas branch office. Since she didn't have a father when she grew up, she was more heartbroken when Bong-Sam left her. She went to the Han River to end her miserable life, but couldn't commit suicide because of Kang Ho. Working in the same company where she used to dream of a future with Bong-Sam is very hard for her, but she doesn't have any other choice. She just blames herself for trusting a man who didn't love her. One day, she finds out that Kang Ho, who saved her life, has started working in her company.
Park, Bong-Sam (Acted by Oh, Ji-Ho)
He seems to have it all. He has a good education and a sense of humor. Because of his parents' divorce, he was raised by his grandmother. After his grandmother died, he was sent to live with his alcoholic father. He's a person of strong will. Despite his terrible childhood, he's building a successful life of his own. Since he knows that his mother abandoned her family for another man, he doesn't trust love and he refuses to make a commitment in a relationship. Ignoring the fact that his sick father lives in a small shed, he leads a decent life style in his own apartment.
Seo, Hyeon-Ah (Acted by Lee, So-Yeon)
She's never been a genius, but thanks to her parents' attention and investment, she studied abroad after graduating from a prestigious university in Korea. Since she's always been the center of the attention, she tends to be selfish. She went to the same university with Bong-Sam. Later, Bong-Sam leaves Mi-Ok for her.

Summary:
A slacker gets his chance in the winning new MBC K-Drama Super Rookie! Eric Mun of pop group Shinwa stars as Kang Ho, an average guy who got a college degree in physical education - but took twice as long to get it because he was too busy fooling around! Kang Ho sends up resumes to many companies, but nobody gives him a shot because he has no experience and no apparent prospects. Even his parents think he's just a freeloader. But one day, Kang Ho decides to apply to the large company as his successful friend Bong Sam (Oh Ji Ho), and thanks to a computer error, he's given a job! But is the company ready for this Super Rookie? Co-starring Han Ga In and Lee So Yeon, Super Rookie is a hip new drama about growing up while never giving up, and serves as a telling but comic portrait of today's Korean youth.
What I Think:
The main reason I wanted to watch this series was cause of Eric. But I was quite happy that there are lots of, no make it more reasons for me to check this series out, Han Ga In, who is Yun Jung Hun's real life wifey (I really like writing their names together..) and who is so pretty is the lead actress. And another more, Nick Oh is in it too! I think I have seen Nick Oh act in Silver Knife before in arirangtv, I think that movie was a sex comedy film I really cannot remember. I just saw some parts and I saw Nick there and man was he cute!
Let's talk acting skills here. Eric, this is his third series (FYI: His first series was Breathless, which is another wonderful drama.) and he totally shined here. In Firebird he was the other guy, I haven¡¦t seen that series but I have read reviews that he was really good there, not too mention totally hot. Anything shinhwa is hot! ƒº One thing bothered me, the hairstyle! Oh holy heavens! He is sporting a long butterfly-style, kinda-nerdy hair here that almost covers his nice face. I do not know but that hair bothers me much! But Eric is a really good actor; he has improved so much from his Breathless days. He was so romantic, so nerdy, so funny, so cute! I was looking forward to the parts where he¡¦s suppose to speak English and all, but his character Kang Ho speaks totally sucky English so I guess Eric was told to be it, but there was one scene, his fantasy scene where he was able to speak almost-perfect English! Ahhhh! ƒº
Han Ga In, man this agashi is not only very beautiful and intelligent and soft-spoken, she is a great actress. I think she has won a Baeksang award before, I am not too sure though. She can cry easily too in some soppy scenes and the scenes where she gets dumped by Bong-sam! She can look like a total wreck in the beginning but when she morphed into this hot babe, god! Totally pretty! I like her style, the clothes she wore when she changed her lifestyle, she was totally pretty and powerful with the black long-sleeved turtleneck blouse! She looks so good with Eric Moon! But she is equally cute together with Nick Oh too! Nick is really tall, but when they stand next to each other, they look good together! She¡¦s got chemistry with both!
Nick Oh, okay Nick can look blank in some scenes plus there are other scenes where he was flaring up on Kang-ho, that look he uses when he is mad, with his eyes piercing, his jaw line and check bones totally emphasized too, he can get annoying sometimes. I like it when he prods Mi-ok, he is such a baby. ļ His clothes too, he makes his clothes look good. ļ
Scenes to watch out for:
@@@ The intro scene where Kang-ho (Eric Moon) does his infamous memorized speech and he mistakes Daesang company for Sinsung company. Hilarious! Imagine this, Kang-ho said ¡§ I want to part of the great company of Sinsung!¡¨ and he said that in front of his interview with the Daesang ceo!
@@@ Bong-sam trying to kiss Mi-ok, she closed her eyes, he kissed her on her forehead, said I Love You and kissed her sweetly on the lips! Turns my insides to mush! So romantic coz they absolutely look good together!
@@@ Kang-ho¡¦s dad gave him lunch money, Kang-ho looked down and noticed that his dad¡¦s shoes were totally worn out already. He gave him lunch money when he doesn¡¦t have money to buy himself a new pair of shoes. I cried a tear there, so touching.
@@@ Office workers spreading rumors that the 2 new employees would ¡§put Jang Dong Gun and Won Bin to shame!¡¨ Omg! I was totally laughing here!!! I am weird coz every time I hear Won Bin my mind just goes Din Ding Ding!! I don¡¦t know but Eric and Nick are really nice-looking honeys but come on JDG and WB!! Won Bin will always be my top 1! ƒº
@@@ Mi-ok changing into a vamp! Whew she looks devastatingly beautiful!
@@@ Bong-sam and Mi-ok dancing at the restaurant; and Kang-ho doing his break dance.
@@@ Kang-ho¡¦s fantasy where he was saying a perfect all-English dialogue at work. Omg Eric¡¦s English is just so heavenly! I imagine him saying all those raps on shinhwa¡¦s Young Guns MV! Han Ga In¡¦s English too was good and she looks hella hot wearing a black number there! Eric¡¦s English lines are heavenly!
@@@ MY FAVOURITE SCENE: Kang-ho waiting for Mi-ok even if she came home very late already. He fell asleep waiting for her.
Mi-ok: ¡§What are you doing here?¡¨
Kang-ho: I was waiting for you.
Mi-ok: Why?
Jang-ho: Coz I missed you.
AHHHHHH!!!Can someone put my jaw back coz it staying stuck. Hehehe¡K ƒº This was also the fave scene of Eric, he said so in the interviews.
@@@ MY FAVOURITE SCENE: Kang-ho walking Mi-ok home and telling her, ¡§From the moment I met you, you¡¦re the only one on my mind¡K¡¨ then he kissed her! This meanwhile, is the fave scene of Han Ga In. ƒº
Other Stuff:
If you have the bonus behind-the scenes cds, well it just contains some interviews of the 3 main actors, the supporting cast, and han ga in¡¦s wedding.
Han ga In¡¦s wedding was really beautiful, and her guests are her and yun jung hun¡¦s closest and cutest friends like Kwon Sang Woo (Once Upon a time in High School), Lee Dong Gun, Cho PD, Ryu Shi Won, Lee Dae Hee (Angela of Green Rose), Ha Ji Won (Memories of Bali, Daddy Long Legs)
It has also an MV of ¡§When you come to Me¡¨ sung by Choi Jin Young. I love this MV!

Out of all F4 series I have seen, I think this one tops my list! That's how beautiful this series is! Okay I know this review is a bit late, I have seen Mars early last year but I only got to do a review for it just now because I was just overwhelmed by the series after I finished watching it last year. I have lots of favorite scenes too.
The soundtrack of the series is very good too; the background music is fitting to the whole mood of the series. "Rang Wo Ai Ni," the closing credits theme song of the series, is so beautiful. It is a duet of Vic and Barbie, lordie they just click so well!
Some favorite scenes:
*** All the scenes in the first part of the series especially the scenes where Ling saves Qui-Lou.
*** Da Ye sitting out the school dance because he wants to be with Qui-Luo who doesn't want to join the dance. He likes her lot that he stayed out of the dance too. Sweet!
*** Cheng Lin gets back Qui-Luo's key chain after it fell into ditch.
*** When Ling knew Qui-Luo was raped by her step father. You just have to check out the scenes where he proved his hunches were right. Those are touching scenes, really.
*** Ling and Qui-Luo breaking up and getting back together.
*** Ling asking Qui-Luo to marry him.
*** Qui-Luo making love to Ling without her childhood fears of being raped. (My god it look like Vic and Barbie are so for real here already! They got the best love scenes! Hehehe!)
*** That Ling is the son of the CEO of O.A.K. group of companies! Year!
*** Ling, Qui-Luo and his father having dinner together and talking about their upcoming marriage.
*** Qui-Luo living in Ling's 'ridiculously big" house! They look like they are already a married couple; they look so sweet when they were talking in bed.
*** Qui-Luo discovering Sheng's hidden letter underneath his canvass.
*** The real story of Ling's mom's death.
*** Fan Tong Dao stabbing Ling! He looks like a total psycho, man he scared the wits out of me!
Stuff worth mentioning:
*** That Barbie and Vic are really together for real.
*** That they did all the scenes in Mars when Barbie was still dating Blue Lan. I never liked that guy anyway.
*** Da Ye is cute! Omg I think I am going to add him up in my other guy list. That list just goes on and on. There was a time in the series that I really wished Qui Luo would at least like him a bit… he looks kinda cute!
***Shone An (Fan Tong Dao) looks so gay in this series but by Buddha, I think he can look really cute too. But he really freaks me out in this series.
*** My favorite Machi member is in here too! Steven Lin plays a minor role here in Mars. Cool huh?

MY TO DO LIST:
1. Travel the World.
I’ve always been fascinated with foreign places.
I want to go to London & see Prince William. See The Northern/ Southern Lights in Australia. Be amazed by Egypt & the Pyramids of Giza. Watch the waves wash the shore in Hawaii.
2. Do an Asian tour with my close friends.
We plan to hop to South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, and Indonesia. All we need is a date. Hint Hint Hint.
3. Get married in a church on top of a hill where I can only feel warmth, peace, love and happiness.
4. Learn a second language.
Because learning a second language is like having a second soul.
5. Be in two places at the same time.
It doesn’t just happen in the movies you know.
