Ajanigo Feb 23 2023 4:30 pm My friend couldn't stop recommending this drama to me And can't stop thanking her for this wonderful drama Lee Se Yeon protrayal as lady Jang was a masterpiece

jean Mar 15 2022 11:40 pm I'm not a Korean but I am always fascinated with their rich history. By getting hooked with the historical korean dramas, I am now thinking at times to even buy a book about the real story.

However, I am quite confused with Jang Ok Jung and Dong yi as both are quite portraying the opposite of few things. Both kdramas are good and will get you moved till the end. But which one is really closer to what have happened?

Can somebody tell me the real story of the marriage life of King Suk-Jong?

Yes Jan 03 2022 7:42 am I'm just confused what is the real story between Jang Ok Jung and Choi Suk Bin. In Jang Ok Jung Lady Suk bin is one of the antagonists. Okay okay, I'm just confused about this.

kpopandgrime Dec 11 2021 7:37 pm Dong Yi; A masterclass of a Kdrama , it has raised the standard of other dramas and As a result I must say this is one of the Best historical Kdramas without a doubt.

This drama is so timeless that I'm watching it for the first time in 2021, and Im still impressed with the quality of the kdrama and how its perfect in many aspects like; cast, scenery , plot , lessons from the drama, make up , pacing and even the chemistry between the cast. and to Top that of this was a 60 Ep drama from 2010 and there was not a single boring episode. With such consistency and quality from this Masterpeice , I have to put it up there with other Elite historical Kdramas such as ; Jumong, Gu family book and Moonlovers. Daebakkkk !!!

I just Loved Han Hyo Joo (HHJ) , Ji Jin Hee (JJH) and Bae Soo Bin (BSB) in this drama;their performances are out of this world and is no coincidence that they are all known world wide for their acting skills. HHJ smile in this drama and to this day is just contagious, only a few actresses can pull such a role so effortlessly. JJH portrayel of the king is the best Ive seen in a kdrama and he was so handsome throughout this drama. BSB is such class whatever role you give him ; one of my fav actors because he has mastered the use of the eyes for telling an emotion. all 3 of them have made this drama one of My fav and unforgettable Kdrama classic. Thank You !!!!

Much love From London

LANNY WIDJAJA Sep 22 2021 4:14 am Ths is definitely one of the very best historical I've ever seen. Lucky I watch ths Dong Yi after seeing some comments on Jang Ok Jung Living by love, otherwise I wudn't know the clear story if I only watch Jang Ok Jung. Recommended fr those who hv watched Jang Ok Jung Living by love must watch ths Dong Yi with no regret.

btsarmy Aug 28 2021 7:08 am I can't watch this, I love Jang Heebin's character in Jang Ok jung so much..

Fiona Nov 16 2020 10:46 pm Watched 1 to 60 and not only enjoyed but prompted me to research the historical events. Episode 60 was a disappointment. Beautiful scene sets and glorious renditions of the characters.

@winy Nov 15 2020 12:37 pm Dong Yi's son Geum (Prince Yeoning inside the palace) who later became the great King Yeongjo, is played by Lee Hyung-Suk.

Someone Nov 01 2020 11:55 am Legendary drama

Winy Sep 03 2020 9:51 am who portrayed as old geum? The son of dong yi (king)

MonSR Jul 27 2020 1:53 am This is the best korean historical series i've watched as of this time. Full of knowledge and learning spiritual, intellectual and emotional. I highly recommended this to my Son as he may learn how to make decisions, dealings with people and approach on love. There are many pointers in life we can learn in this story. I am touched somehow.

     I congratulate the team who made this Korean series so detailed and exciting.  The artists are perfect for their roles.  
    Plots and events always leave viewers the question HOW and WHY to set the mind of Curiosity.  The writer see to it that every events are clearly explained and viewers curiosity is satisfied and snswered.....no words could express how happy I am to watch this.  Somehow it touches my heart and mind.
   It is being translated now in Philippine dialect and is being aired 2X a day(replay in the evening).   This is worth watching :)

Somebody Jun 17 2020 6:45 pm I have lost the count of how many times I've watched this drama totally the best ??? everything is perfect from acting to action, politics, romance everything highly recommend

Geum Apr 09 2020 10:30 am The best korean historical drama. You would never want to miss any episodes at all!!! Not the typical drama where the king just blindly in love with a poor commoner girl! The king is really wise, smart and funny while dong yi is a smartass consort. I became HHJ fan since this drama. I’m really impressed with this drama!!!!!

NickSJ Mar 26 2020 4:57 pm Korean drama does love stories beautifully, and this is one of the best. It's very similar to the drama Yi San, which is about Dong Yi's great grandson and his consort, and which is also a great love story. If you love one, you will love the other.

After watching these, I discovered a book called The Memoirs of Lady Hyegyeong, written by the wife of Crown Prince Sado, who was Dong Yi's grandson. It is a really fascinating glimpse into Court life in the period bracketed by Dong Yi and Yi San. It's a very good translation and well worth reading.

Kdramafan Feb 20 2020 6:56 am Watched n rewatched this drama... everytime i watch historical kdrama i keep on comparing them to DongYi. Very satisfying the emotion i felt since i watched for the first time. The best historical Drama of all.

Ryu Jul 11 2019 2:52 am I still keep coming back to this drama. Every time a new historical drama will come up I am left unsatisfied because of the standard Dong Yi has left me. I have re-watched so many times but I still have the same emotion from the first time I watched it. This show is a treasure to Korean Historical Drama.

And PS. Han hyo Joo is so pretty I cant even.

Mindy Thai Apr 23 2019 12:03 am Don’t ever watch this drama... unless you plan on having other dramas pale in comparison. This drama is amazing and despite it being 60 episodes long, I never felt a single episode was unnecessary. And I’ve rewatched this in its entirety at least five times. The music, the acting, and the plot are all superb, and most importantly, the female lead (Dong Yi) is the best role model for all young girls. I watched this drama with my family as a young, impressionable little kid and grew up wanting nothing more than to be just as dignified, respectable, and moral as Dong Yi. I still value justice and loyalty highly to this very day despite it being 9 years later. You could say this drama left a deep impression on me. If you’re discouraged by the length of this drama or the fact that it’s historical, please look past it and embrace it even, because this drama is worth every ounce of attention and recognition.

Gie Apr 16 2019 2:31 am I was hoping to see the real picture of suk bin choi

Iyagi Jan 04 2019 6:57 am This is the one of best historical kdrama!! I think it's not popular so much because of the year... But if you're here, and reading this, You Must Just Go And Watch This Amazing Drama!!!!

tammie Apr 24 2018 3:57 am this was my first ever kdrama out of like 38 other dramas...literally as a kid i understood it (i was like 5) and i loved dongyi so much i needed a hanbok bahhaaha. Would recommend for those who love historical k-dramas:)

BoyetteY Apr 17 2018 1:18 pm Dong Yi is the best korean drama I have watched many many times. I'm already a kdrama fan. Gamsamida !!! All the characters were wonderful ! All scenes were supperbly done, eligant, funny, hilarious and some scenes even very tearfull for Dong Yi. I watched all 60 episodes and would watch it again !

SaCH Mar 04 2018 6:02 am This is the BEST drama that i ever seen. This is 1000 times better than "Jan Ok-jung living by love", & this shows the real korean history. Everyone should watch this. This make me a crazy k-drama fan..?

feelontee Jan 12 2018 12:55 am The best Historical drama ever watched, all of the actors and actresses did well, from the extra to the main leads and the best act of Bae so bin

rajab Dec 31 2017 9:47 am this story was very fantastic/sweet . I love it for real, this made me to never think of another woman in dis world apart from "Han Hyo-Joo"(dong Yi)/(choi suk bin) I have fallen to her. if posible let her receive ma greetings. I REAL LOVE HER

assilon Dec 12 2017 1:57 pm i realy want to watch dongyi. but i cant because i realy love jang ok jung... and they made jang ok jung very bad in dong yi

Lili Oct 21 2017 3:57 am My first ever korean drama..this got me into the dramaland. I have seen many great dramas since then but this is obviously the best. The story, the cast, everything. Simply amazing!

Tharuka Aug 14 2017 5:59 am I have watched this so many times. It is that much of beautiful. I really love the cast and I should say,this is the best saeguk drama ever...... And I also read the Sun Bin's biography and was so interested.... Thank you.

Ms. Sik Aug 05 2017 2:44 am I haven't watch this series yet and I don't think i will ever watch this. I love Jang Ok Jung, Living By Love and they portray Dong Yi there as foxy girl who wants to steal the attention of the king from Ok Jung. Her character was so annoying there

AnnaHirameki Aug 01 2017 2:58 am already watch 3 times ... the best historical drama

Toryn Jun 14 2017 12:43 pm Lol. One thing I thought was funny was: Dong Yi unintentionally did to Heebin what Heebin did to Queen Inhyeon. The homewrecker's marriage was literally obliterated by another (accidental) homewrecker.

Miso Mar 12 2017 4:16 am Did anyone notice the vehicle lights in one of the earlier episodes? I was enjoying my period drama when car lights ruined it for me. Who edited & didn't see that? Chasing a little girl at night. The environment is paramount & we missed it?

Teny Jamil Mar 04 2017 3:28 am I like Dongo Yi she is cute brave and determined just waiting for another drama and if there is just help me with there tittles. Big up Dongo Yi just continue to show and give love to the king love you

Maggie Xiong Feb 08 2017 9:41 pm I would prefer Empress Ki over this but I like it. And tbh, empress ki's wars are much more like idk powerful. But I just love the main girl and the king together. They look so cute together.

Butch Feb 01 2017 8:50 am I miss the dong yi cast so much. Its been 6 years since they ve killed the charts. Such a classic drama. I cant even count how many times ive watched it. Its all in one. The cast are perfect. Highly recommended.

Mel Jan 29 2017 12:17 pm I must day that this Drama IS REALLY GREAT! Great Actors & Actresses, great storyline, and everything's great! I really love Han Hyo Jo's acting. Thanks to this drama and Dae Jang Geum, I started to love Korean Historical dramas because of both dramas. I still want to see Han Hyo Jo's role in future Historical dramas. Her acting was really awesome in Dong Yi. And I'm so happy to see Ji Jin Hee XD Park Ha Sun was great too.

hjlee Jan 25 2017 8:41 am She like and respect queen in hyeon and doesn't like jang hee bin because hee bin steal the king from queen (???), but ... but... she finally end up fall in love with king ??... oh common

dido Jan 08 2017 8:32 am her character as a young girl was quite annoying..i started liking it at ep 6, when the king was shown..hahah..

the story was great like dae jang geum..i got envious of their lovestory..what a love!!perfect chemistry..2 thumbs for ji jin-hee and han hyo-joo..great casts and director..very inspiring!!

Danniah Nov 16 2016 11:03 pm It takes me 6 years to take decision for watching this. Such a regret.

At first I was afraid if it would be like Empress Ki, the empress and emperor would have trust issue. For me, sageuk like SFD and Queen Seondeok are much better than Empress Ki, it's better to watch completely political drama than drama with trust issue between the main lovers. Lol.

This drama Dongyi gives the balance between politic and romance. All the casts potray their roles as aristocrats and as human-beings. Because of this, I really anticipate Shin Woontaek and Cha Jeonsu. So afraid if they would turn against the royal family, BUT THEY DON'T!!!!

I appreciate how the writers wrote the storyline wonderfully. Not only problems, but the writers also the reason behind every problems and why the villains do that or why they have change of hearts. Also, at the end of every problems, Dong-yi would narrate the lessons she learns through it all.

Justin Michael Aug 08 2016 8:36 am Dong Yi, as the main character you real deserve to that position, also including all other participants they did the best. I LOVE IT!!!!

From Tanzania (Eastern of Africa)

hansika Jul 06 2016 9:26 am this is the best historical drama that ever saw. wow!!!!! OMG han hyo joo as choi suk bin !!!!!!!!!!! fighting noona. you are the best and you are my favourite. :DDDD gosh ii watched it thousand times still i want to watch it. i love you han hyo joo noona. you are the best. really loved it. dong yi is the best. ^_^

Elba May 18 2016 2:53 pm One of the best Historical Dramas, I loved everything about it. Like Martha said " Oh my God I thought jewel in the palace was the best but after watching Dong yi gosh I can watch it a thousand times". Really loved it.

martha May 05 2016 1:16 pm Oh my God I thought jewel in the palace was the best but after was watching Dong yi gosh I can watch it a thousand times

EBN Apr 30 2016 6:09 am Dong Yi , is the best drama for always ! HHJ's acting is perfect & I love her so much ^_^

ella Mar 21 2016 5:40 pm luv Dong yi so much with her courage and charisma..buh hated wen she doesnt show her luv towards the King.. And also the last episode quite confusing...So sursprise the write skipped it

naisa Mar 15 2016 5:36 am what an epic!!beautiful beautiful drama..i saw this after dae jang geum n i have to say this one is far far better..my God u can never skip an episode unlike the former..coz each contributes immensely to the story..n i just fell in love with the King..Ji jin hee really brightens up the atmosphere each time n his chemistry with Dong yi is so believable and great..not to mention the epic potrayal of Lee so yeon as Lady Hui..she just stole the show n i believe her acting skills are far better and much more natural than Han hyo joo..i would say Han hyo joo playing Dong yi was rather the weaker one in acting as regards the others as Bae soo bin,Ji jin hee etc..n i strongly believe her emotional scenes could have been done better..but still she is believable n carries the role to her level best..n her acting improves a lo towards the end..n the baby prince acting is so so adorable..but i find the character of Dong yi quite impractical concerning her turbulent times..she is shown too too perfect n everytime ready to forgive her enemies who have been after her death for years..n one very weak point of the drama which begins all this mess is when dong yi father very foolishly confesses to murder he was not involved in..but after that there is no stopping the story,plot or acting..n i have become a huge fan of Ji jin hee n lee so yeon..i would recomend every kdrama fan not to miss out on tis materpiece..even 60 episodes are too short for the drama

Ray Gyadu Mar 13 2016 1:37 pm For me, Dong Yi is the best so far

Susana Mar 11 2016 5:10 pm What should i say i just love this movie!!!! i wish they could repeat it once again after this ends i love Dong Yi

Nuella Feb 18 2016 5:15 pm @Jamila My situation is same with yours. Its so full of suspense,intrigue,love and much more. Dung yi's good and kindness always makes me want to cry. Joyprime is always my channel for the night,can't wait for tomorrow's episode!

Jamila Feb 05 2016 5:28 pm I stumbled on this film in Nigerian from a ghanian free network, it is airing in episodes from Monday to Friday for an hour, and after each day I can't wait for the next day to see what will happen next. What a beautiful film even though I have not finished watching it yet, as I have to wait for the timings of the TV station airing it before I can watch. It makes me laugh and even cry at times. for a servant girl in the palace to find love and favour in the eyes of king? My God, miracles do happen. I am so much loving this film. Infact, I envy the frienship, (love) between the king Dung yi.

Lala Jan 24 2016 10:35 pm A beautiful, well-made historical drama. I feel like this drama really had what it takes to succeed as a sageuk- not too much romance, great political intrigue, amazing character development, and talented actors. I went through so many emotional ups and downs with Dong Yi, and this will forever be one of my favorites.

juliet owusu kankam Jan 21 2016 5:15 am I like Lee Gye-on,Kang Yu-Mi,Lee Hee-Do,Lee Kwang-Soo they make me laugh my heart out.To tell the truth l love the movie.

Terrysah Jan 02 2016 11:30 am still remains the my best korean drama..i can watch this over and over,it made my happy,sad,cried alot at one point,,the development of the story is awesome...one of the first korean drama i watched (after boys over flowers) and after watching this i got more interested to check others out...love love. any one who wants to watch i highly recommend ,,dont even think twice

miriamaaa Dec 27 2015 8:31 am this drama has got the BEST LOVING ATTITUDE,FAIREST AND HUMBLEST KING I'VE EVER SEEN IN ANY HISTORICAL KDRAMA, LIKE CANT EVEN RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot begin to describe the relationship between the king and Dong Yi, if you haven't watched it WATCH IT NOW ! DO IT ! :D trust me you wont regret it and 60 episodes should be nothing if you have some free time !! I should say I continued on JUST because of the love the king has for Dong Yi~!

jamie Dec 21 2015 12:42 am Dongyi is very beautiful and strong girl and she is very talented she is Berry pretty until she became a suk bin.other people say that dongyi is ugly girl but don't say bad about dongyi because she's nice.

jhunerlie Dec 07 2015 9:04 am Dongyi is a very strong girl until she became a suk bin she is very talented girl and if she put a small or piece of evidence she didn't let it go! I love her personality :)

Ayusher Nov 26 2015 4:53 am Every one who talk bad about these drama actually didn't know what politics means nor history. ......these is the best and most excellent drama ever

Nanette Nov 25 2015 3:20 pm I have been ignoring this drama for the longest time, but out of the blue, I decided to watch this,since I heard K Drama lovers that it is one of the best. And Once I started, I can't stop, losing sleep over this drama. Love the actors and actresses and love Dong Yi and the King the most. What a chemistry, and surprised that it is a factual love story. Saw some negative comments but watching this made me understand how it was done during that time. This one is really worth my time. I can't move on, just thinking the love between Dong Yi and the King...

Shayan Nov 23 2015 1:21 pm I Very Love Han Hyo Joo as Dong Yi. Han Hyo Joo is My Angel!

Casey Aug 22 2015 4:28 am FYI before some crazy people start saying nonsense things about Dong Yi!

according to one version, Sukjong found Jang Hui-bin in her room with a Korean shaman, making merry over having caused the Queen's death through black magic.Another interpretation based on a vague passage of theAnnals of the Joseon Dynasty states that it was Choe Suk-bin who told the King that sorcery had been used to try to bring harm to the Queen. Under the title, Queen's Will, it is written: "Oegan (外间) Quote--"Choe Suk-bin with her usual grace gives tribute to the Queen (Inhyeon) (追慕), and weeping (痛哭) for the one that could not win the heart of the King, she informed the King of the secret." This could mean that Choe was merely delivering the queen's last words. Yet, rumor in the palace was that Jang Hui-Bin had been using a Shaman to curse Queen Inhyeon. According to Min chin-won, Queen Inhyeon came to know about these rumors, and in the Annals of Joseon recorded in 1701, Min chin-won and Min Chin-hu informed King Sukjong of Jang Hui-Bin's sorcery claiming that in doing so they were in compliance with Queen Inhyeon's last request to them before dying.

Nara Jul 20 2015 1:56 pm I'm not into historical drama, but this drama really "Jjang!"

Jane Handreson May 24 2015 3:06 am Awesome drama...luv u dong yi!

lupita Apr 20 2015 2:33 pm some people talk like they are experts...im talking to those who are saying the king is weak. try to be the king and live inside that place whenre every one is enemy lets see what you will learn and do goshh some ppl

Vanessa Apr 11 2015 6:14 pm I hate the King!!! As portrayed here anyway. He is soooo weak! Goodness! Was there no one to advise this man? Maybe I am so used to the Chinese historical dramas where the court is set up differently. The emperors would not have hesitated to cut off any body's head for treason. When people were caught, they took the sword to their own neck. The writer has done a good job with the script, especially if part of the goals was to make the viewer annoyed, sad, hopeful, laugh, angry, etc., etc. Oh well, I am only 30 episodes in and can't stop watching now. I will have to continue to hate the King, thing Dong Yi is a naive little fool and see how it plays out. But, if that doggone second queen isn't killed, I will really be mad!

dagmawi tegegn Mar 04 2015 3:25 am I love the drama so much... Everything was there...I could laugh; cry; get angry!! Its more like a real life to me! Above all the love story between the king and dong yi it so incredible that I could not sense anything fake! Love dong yi character...how she compose herself not over reacted every thing about her is for us to learn! All in all every one did a great job in this drama! I have watched it like 7times now and still can't get enough of it and it will forever be in my collection! from ETHIOPIA

shaikha Feb 21 2015 3:57 pm i hate dong yi i watched bc of lady jang charachter and whats make me love it more is my most excallent actress lee so yeon,for dong yi some dodn't know that even her name is not dong yi and all the story about her from father daying to etc..... is fake her story is like korean drama called jewel in the palace ,besides i think queen hui bin is not evil , the only thing told as i read in wiki that they found amagic spell somthing like that for queen inhyun and guess who found it its dong yi or consert choi as in wiki ,i think she but the for queen inhyun pretending to be nice but she want to queen also killing queen inhyun and make lady jang being send to death and no one will compet with her,i loved drama jang ok jung but i don't know why people didn't watched since kim tea hee is the heroine ,but the story should be at list 60 episodes and script be good and the director also, i think people had cuirosty about lady jang more than lady choi

Madhawa Dec 28 2014 9:39 am My favourite drama and I love'n it, and I love u soo much han hyo joo ♡♡♡♡

Ted Chyn Nov 12 2014 10:02 am I have enjoyed watching the show. I have a question related to English translation of the word Slave? Is a slave in ancient Korea owned by his/her owner and can be sold or traded as property? Or slave simply means SERF or indentured servant - person without means and they are bound to the job or service they provides to another class of people with properties ? In Ancient China slaves existed pre Shang dynasty and it was seldom used from thereon.

mercy Oct 01 2014 11:07 am I love the theme song"nara nara". I love the little Dong Yi. I love Dong Yi's perseverance. I wonder how the real Dong Yi was. The King is a passionate lover. The drama revolves around our every day lives.

zainab d.kasim Sep 04 2014 6:03 am I love this movie...dongyi is my favorite

Tracey Jul 09 2014 7:11 am just finished watching Dong Yi, love this drama excellent cast . Actresses and actors performance was outstanding in portraying scenes especially the King and Dong Yi romance. The actress who portrayed Consort Jang her crying scenes were superb. Furthermore the child actors did a brilliant job at such a young age

hhj Jun 29 2014 8:29 am dong yi ( han hyo joo) is my favorite actress . i love her . she plays well .when i see this drama in some emotional situation that dong yi play in them i suddenly cry. i think that the king say his feeling to dong yi very nice . he plays well such as dong yi.

Leimaymay May 24 2014 1:57 pm WOW. Just finished watching it and i can't believe that im done. It's like i can't accept the fact that im done. I can't move on :((( haha Jijin hee earned my love and respect in this drama. He will forever be one of my fave actors. Two thumbs for Dong yi and the evil BROTHER. haha I like the way he shows emotions and how he played his role. Very good drama. dont be bothered by the 60 episodes. trust me. its worth it! :)))

Aishwarya Apr 12 2014 4:43 am I love the drama so much... Everything was there...I could laugh; cry; get angry!! Its more like a real life to me! Above all the love story between the king and dong yi it so incredible that I could not sense anything fake! Love dong yi character...how she compose herself not over reacted every thing about her is for us to learn! All in all every one did a great job in this drama! I have watched it like 7times now and still can't get enough of it and it will forever be in my collection! Your fan in Tanzania!

kim je kyung Mar 14 2014 11:49 pm this drama is the best drama ever, i will watch again and again

i love this so much it begin when dongyi was a child until she became a queen XD

it is so touchable, i cry when dong yi's father died:'( but it is the best drama ever!!!!!!!!

Andang Feb 04 2014 1:48 pm I soooper love this that i do not want to stop. No wonder it tops the chart.The king, dong yi (she fits the role, but i am a lee yo won fan) the two queens, chun soo and chief suh are very good actors plus the mommies, two musicians,the leading lady police officers are all so great. I do not like hae jeen, the brother, sorry for that. This must have been a big-budgeted drama because it needs so many extras, costumes and different places. The characters' characters, lolss on that, have been developed so well as the story progresses that it moved me, i.e. I hate hui's hypocrisy and how she toyed the king around her fingers, or how i pity dong yi, how tired must have been trying to avoid the soldiers because she really looks haggard, thin and pale. Overall, i rate this as 99% ( not 100 because i am a lee yo won fan lolsss.) korean dramas are so beautiful even though i am not a korean, i will keep on watching all your dramas. I love 49days,qsd,bong dal hee,jewel,heo jun, original version,lovers in paris, among others. Thank you and more power.

Kdramafan Jan 05 2014 2:23 pm Big fan of choi suk bin here. She was one awesome lady, to accomplish what she did in her circumstances and environment she had to have been very smart..so to have a drama about her was such a huge gift!! I love the series thou it has it's flaws, but over all great ..!! The only thing I would complain is how incredibly nice was she... True she was a nice girl from history but would had liked the characters to haver a little of greed to give her flaws, I am sure that if in real life she was offered the queen title she wouldn't had rejected it...or maybe that was her greed as she said in one of the episodes that she was very greedy to the point that she wanted to everybody to be happy in a place, the palace, where that's not very possible . But For some reason I find her real story more touching...don't misunderstand me I LOVE the series but it could had been better...

they really wanted to give you a very  positive message, which I think they accomplished

Meryem Dec 29 2013 12:49 am I M from Morroco , I do not know how to describe my feeling, It's very cool series I've seen more than once...I hope I can see a new one....

Merina Toromon Dec 11 2013 5:27 am i love this movie. I learn alot from it!!!!

udari Nov 22 2013 9:58 am I love dongyi she's the best

MJ Nov 18 2013 11:17 pm I Love this Drama forever!

omonigho Nov 15 2013 2:32 pm Dis is lovely...I so much enjoyed dong yi..even if am nt a korean I have learnt so much from dis great series.the actors and actress are awesome.

sachin Oct 20 2013 6:06 am i think sri lankans are very lucky to watch this drama

yan Oct 10 2013 3:09 am dong yi is the best sageuk i hv ever seen, good cast, good storyline, amazing

Pamela Sep 28 2013 8:17 pm Ok I started watching Dong Yi out of curiosity after watching JOJ drama, and I AM SO HAPPY I did it. now that I ve finished what is gonna be of my life! It was GREAT!! Love it! The storyline is absolutely captivating, thou between chap. 22-28 it drags a little, maybe because I was desperate for the king and Lady Choe to be together again, such a pure, deep and sincere love, they protected each other with all their means, Nobody could mess with her cause The King protected her till the end, now that make sense. the plot was brilliant and the conspiracy very intriguing, and you kept wondering was gonna happen now, I cried, laugh, got angry, and happy which a good drama should make you feel.Everybody did it great the actors were wonderful. Its funny, after I finished i started to come back to my favorites chapters. 1 to 6,11 to 17,21,22,23,28,29,30 to all they way to 60 Ok Yes I admit its almost the whole drama but I just LOVE IT. The little prince is so adorable, and the scenes of the king with his son are delightful. I was hesitating in the beginning because there were 60 chapters but at the end I wanted more and was very sad that it had finished So this one goes definitely to my top 5.

steven Achia Aug 15 2013 4:20 am I Love the the series, it captivating, am currently on episode 57 out of the 60, the whole Dong Yi stuff, the King, all that stuff is captivating. I usually return from work and at about 7:00pm I retire to my bed room and relax to watch the intrigue in the Korean series.

Specifically, One thing I appreciate about this series is that;

Dong Yi's self less character is a good portrayal of how we should live our lives - to me it portrays how we should be there for our friends, our family, and our workers, ie like Dong Yi over and over does for her Attendants.

I also appreciate the literal potrayal of how the pursuit for power, wealth and prominence may not be the cause for happiness in one's life. It could actually create misery ie as seen in Consourt Hui case.

I also note from the case of the deposed queen in the scene where she had been deposed and was even attacked by then queen hui's people that suffering can actually follow you, you need to be resolute.

I love the Princes and their love for each other

the intrigue that consort Hui places in the drama, makes one continue to watch.

I however noted that the King kept on marrying Queens whom he did not actually ever love, the Queens seem to be mere power and status symbols.

The King's desire for Dong Yi is also so over whelming that he is willing to sale off his king dom jus for that case

phillippine girl Aug 10 2013 5:05 am i love the episode that the king had his first night w/ dong yi..................................ayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!hope u all make anotfer movie like this

crite Aug 05 2013 8:59 pm Just an avid fan of Han Hyo Jo... im avoiding to watch this because it is about 60 episodes and too much to download. However, with good comments on this I tried to watch and totally hooked up. now, im on the way to the 22nd episode. It is too much fun watching King Sukjong and Dongyi specially on the first time they met outside the palace when Dongyi did not notice it was the king she is together with.

NaRa Jul 30 2013 8:02 am Yes. I also watch Dong Yi for 2nd time. That Jang Ok-Jung movie feel like the director FORCING people to have good view of her. But definitely impossible and JOJ movie just a novel not the history. I love Dong Yi very much.

Mahdi Hekmatipour Jul 27 2013 8:12 pm At the end of july 2013,i just finished downloading Jang ok-jung,living in love,but i don't know why after 2 episodes i turned to watch Dong Yi for the 11st time,and now i reached half,episode 30.Great,Great,Great Drama,love all actors&actresses,director,and the whole produce group. keep Fighting dear hyo-joo with your lovely smile

Hoi Louis Jul 27 2013 2:41 pm Thank you "Lee So-Yeon" for such a great performance as Consort Hui! Your character was so deliciously evil towards the end of the series. What starts out as a simple tale of a driven political character with a moral center, she is driven to madness with bad advice from political operatives and relatives. You are a joy to watch each week. Too bad there weren't many face to face scenes with your character and Han Hyo-Joo's Consort Sook. So it was gratifying to have that final scene between you too before the execution. a fan. ps. You should've won best actress that year!

Roash Jul 26 2013 6:04 am The BEST and the SUPERB movie I've EVER watched Also THE BEST ,COOLEST AND THE PRETTIEST characters have been choosen to act in the movie.

                        All of the characters are acting nicely specailly the the one who is  acting as Dongyi(Hun Hyo Ju)  & Sukjon (Ji Jin Hee) also the other coolest and my loving acters and actresses ALso the one's who is acting as prince LEE HYUNG SUK and YOON CHAN.
                                LOVE YOU GUYS VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

princessky Jul 13 2013 6:35 pm i love dong yi, the lovely little boy she gave birth to in the movie, jin ji hee especially wen dong yi passed the examination in the movie, i was thrilled and moved at the same time. aja fighting

zinneyy Jun 27 2013 8:38 am I really wish people would stop comparing dong yi and jewel of the palace ( unless you wanna show the million ways in which dong yi supercedes it) jewel of the palace was a total snooze fest. I kept wondering throughout how in the world did people enjoy this show. I couldn't bring myself to watch it all. Dong yi was totally awesome. The only thing that could have made it better, would have been more kiss scenes!

madushan Jun 26 2013 8:38 am it was an amazing drama i ever saw.....i haven't any words to explain my feelings.

Namali Devasurendra Jun 08 2013 5:57 am I love this drama.

Khaphy May 15 2013 9:37 am Interesting drama

Sandasara Apr 10 2013 10:53 pm If you like Dong Yi, why not try Jewel in the palace - Dae Jang Guem? It's also Korean and is just as nice.

Lorell Apr 06 2013 5:17 am I love this drama! Especially "funny" moments of Dong Yi and King's romance! <3

It was also my first Korean drama, thanks to which I become in love with this kind of TV series and movies (I really love costume historical dramas!)

Sudhari Mar 20 2013 5:29 am I love Dong Yi......it inspires me a lot...real master piece. i love all cast, but specially Police chief seo yong gi...Mr.Jung Jin Young, you are great..i love you always & forever <3...wish you good luck..and hope to see you in more movies and shows....

Thumbs up for Dong Yi.....<3

R.Chan Feb 21 2013 1:23 am Just finished watching Dong Yi (all 60 episodes) for the 2nd time. 대박! I just finished watching it the first time a little over a week ago and had to watch it again. No wonder it won so many awards. Such a great drama. Han Hyo Joo (best actress) and Ji Jin Hee (Male Top Excellence Award) so deserving of their awards. Especially Han Hyo Joo! American dramas/TV movies/Soaps are all crap compared to Kdramas. I am hooked on kdramas now. Am glad there are so many that have been subbed (English). I need to learn Korean (only know a few words and phrases for now) so I won't have to depend on subbed versions. But that may be awhile...

queenie sheene caneba Feb 19 2013 2:08 am i love "Dongyi"every night she watching dongyi.I was sad because dongyi was end june 15 2012.I am the number one fan of dongyi

D.Wicky Feb 16 2013 11:42 am A drama worth watching!! Gives a good knowledge to the viewer.... I love this drama a lot and the full cast....They have done their roles really well and wish them all with their future work!

LOVE KOREAN DRAMAS....HOPING TO SEE MORE!! :D

UPEKSHA Feb 11 2013 11:18 pm It just started telecasting in Sri Lanka! Seems really interesting~! SARANGHAEE DON YI~!

JayKemz Jan 03 2013 2:52 pm This drama is very similar to Dae Jang Geum--understandable since it's the same director who directed these two dramas, but unforgivable since I find myself comparing the two inadvertently. In my opinion Lee Young-Ae would have made a better lead protagonist, I don't buy Han Hyu Joo's acting--it's a little overdone for my taste. I admit, sometimes I forgot that it was Han Hyu Joo who was lead character and thought instead that Lee Young-Ae was leading. It's the director's fault too, most of the instances featured in this drama are similar to those in Dae Jang Geum: orphaned female protagonist, hiding of ID, winning the favor of the royals, catching the King's eye (Though I admit this is where the story is centered unlike in Jewel i the Korean Palace) and so on and so forth...

I'm not really psyched whilst watching this drama...Lee Youn-Ae would have done it for me (Han Hyu Joo supporters, don't take offence :P )

Faith Agbayani Nov 10 2012 3:45 pm Aloha from Hawaii!

Academy Award Winning Movie worthy of Best Movie, Best Actress Han Hyo Joo and Best Actor Ji Jin Hee, their stunning and heartwarming potrayals and unforgettable performances comparable to "Gone With the Wind". Most deserving of all awards in 2010 and hope to see more of these excellent Korean historical dramas! Purchased two sets and love watching "Dong Yi" and adore Han Hyo Joo. The whole production, direction, cast and crew contributed to a great motion picture.

hoda Oct 28 2012 3:57 am I really love korean dramas! dong yi, yisan, jomoung, the emperor of sea and...

nixie May 12 2012 2:30 am Ooh!!! I really love "Dongyi" and "Yi San, Wind of the Palace" - it's like a continuation with 136 episodes in all!!! Really great and absorbing dramas,. Actually, these 2 dramas , although historically not completely accurate, are too good to miss. Dong Yi is probably the best drama series (korean or not) that I will ever see. After reading all these good comments I cant help but want to add something too just to show my support for this series. Watching it makes me so happy and it makes me so dreamy. This is the best ever!

CaRLo May 10 2012 9:09 am I love you DONG YI!!!!!!

i love to watch Dong Yi all the time!!!

dramartist reviewer May 04 2012 8:52 am Ooh!!! I really love "Dongyi" and "Yi San, Wind of the Palace" - it's like a continuation with 136 episodes in all!!! Really great and absorbing dramas,. Actually, these 2 dramas , although historically not completely accurate, are too good to miss.

JenJacqs May 01 2012 4:54 pm I Love Dong Yi, just as I love Queen Seon Deok and Jewel in the Palace. These are my top 3 historical drama.

charissa May 01 2012 1:04 am I love Dongyi really.. the best korean drama ever. i wish i could be like dongyi personality..intelligent,honest and etc aside from that shes so pretty!! in this korean drama the main character is not totally hurt so bad.. there's justice and I really love it..SUPERRRRRR.thanks GMA for let me watch these drama even in late night already, I still enjoy it..so GOOD!!

Alice1435 Apr 30 2012 9:46 pm So far, Dong Yi is the best Korean movie aired on Philippine TV. Even if I just finished the whole episodes, I still can't get over it. Quite disappointed though 'cause she never became queen. But the way she handle things ( being intelligent and selfless ) is really admiring and inspiring. And I like the way Dong Yi and King Suk-jong argue- I find it cute. Kyaaaaaaaa! I still can't get over it. T_______T

edna Apr 27 2012 11:57 pm Personally, I believe this is the best Korean drama shown here in the Philippines. Great everything: story, casts, costumes, music, so heartwarming and inspiring. I specially love Han Hyo Joo. Her portrayal/characterization of Dong Yi was perfect; she was the best choice for the role. Ji Jin Hee as King was superb. I watched out for him in Jewel in the Palace but I fell in love with him in Dong Yi. It is my wish that they both visit the Philippines soon. There were weak and debatable points in some segments like when Dong Yi got struck with a sword and the date of birth of Prince Yeon Ing but overall the drama is GREAT!

donnajanebungabong Apr 25 2012 9:32 pm I stand correctly that DONGYI is the most beautiful, wonderful, inspiring, and a high class drama. I am very thankful to GMA to let me discovered and watch DONGYI. I love Han Hyo Joo, muah.!!!!!!!

earlandintia/philippines Apr 22 2012 12:56 am I`m speechless from start up to the end..i didn`t expect that this will drama will inspire me much as what i expect..i had no regret that i didnt sleep because it is worth it..even though i saw this drama late in the philippines i was happy that i saw a very wonderful and beautiful korean drama like this...

I bow in you....

YourMySerendipity Apr 19 2012 8:03 pm Ohh Emm! This Historical Korean Drama Love Story Dongyi is truely AWESOME & GREAT!! To Han Hyo Jo & Ji Jin Hee, Your the Best Love Couple! I ADORE YOU BOTH.. I'm AMAZED by this! CONGRATS!! & KEEP IT UP. \^____^/

Jana Apr 03 2012 12:33 pm Let me just say, I finally finished the series. It was definitely a beautiful historical drama. I watched with English subtitles and I was never disappointed. The actors were definitely good. I am an Afican American and I love history. This was just great all around ..very respectful.........now I have been introduced o the Korean culture or sure....smile. Yes, I also watched YiSan and Jewel of the Palace ...I highly recommend.

Helen del rosario Mar 30 2012 7:02 am I really love this show... The story was so great and all the actors and actresses was so great in there acting...keep it up guys!

Jae Mar 27 2012 5:44 am Love this series. It's one of the first series to have a happy ending for the lovebirds! ^.^ The best scenes were the first and last meeting where she climbs his back! He made me laugh when he basically told her she gained weight! She was the same as always, calling him a wimp.

victoria Mar 25 2012 12:22 pm Love Dong Yi... Great movie.

Elcaloca Mar 22 2012 4:19 am ..This drama is one of the best korean historicaldrama ive ever watched! I love how king and dong yi give so much kilig to those who watched it!haha :D

iLove_DongYi Mar 14 2012 9:07 pm The death of Dong Yi and Sukjong is unknown and even in the series, they didn't show it. But I guess that Dong Yi died because of a health problems. As seen on the last episode of the series, Dong Yi is having an epistaxis although acdg to the doctor that she is fine. Sukjong died on 1720, 2 years after Dong Yi has passed away. Maybe he died because of Loneliness over Dong Yi's death. XD

But overall, I LOVE DONG YI! It is the best Korean Drama that I have seen so far. I definitely watch this series all over again. :)

yuki Mar 09 2012 9:18 am my family got hooked up with this...started in watching only in a channel....till they decided to watch this in dvd....and after few days...they keep on saying ye mama...

stephanie Feb 18 2012 8:40 am Dong Yi is probably the best drama series (korean or not) that I will ever see. After reading all these good comments I cant help but want to add something too just to show my support for this series. Watching it makes me so happy and it makes me so dreamy. This is the best ever!

Chelle Feb 02 2012 3:56 am Two thumbs up

Chelle Feb 02 2012 3:55 am This drama really caught my interest. It's like reading a book and then feeling every character in it. And I love the twists of every episode plus the "kilig" factor of Dong Yi and the King. It's like a fairy tale come true

Dimitri Georgiou Jan 27 2012 8:16 pm Dong-yi Please can you tell me what happen next in Jan.30,2012 on dongyi?

ailenis Jan 26 2012 10:58 pm net chief Seo Yong-Gi left the palace and assist dong yi in her journey to help lowborn people.he trained men to become a swordsmen/policemen.dong yi died before king sukjong.they never mentioned the crown prince because they want to emphasize about what happen to dong yi's son.prince yeon-ing who become the 21st king of joseon.anyway the crown prince become the 20th king of joseon but he died after his fourth year in throne.the two prince both ascend the throne. hope it helps you

mary Dec 21 2011 3:32 pm This show rocks, the production values everything is by far better than what the Hollywood cookie cutters throw out. They tell an exciting story that has romance, adventure, and intrigue all without smuting it down! Terrific job - worthy of an Emmy.

파비오 Fireflight Dec 15 2011 11:31 am Perfect drama! DONG YI <3

Joseon Dec 05 2011 4:15 pm I am a fan of historical dramas, and Dong Yi is one such great drama. It brings me back to eras that I only read in history books, so in effect period dramas bring the past to life. Great job MBC!

serjio Dec 04 2011 3:41 pm hi again i also watched yi san the wind of the palace its also very nice and attractive drama i've seen it in korean language english subtitles and in kurdish languages very very nice i hope kurdsat tv soon dub the new korean drama translate and show coz i love it and we r now very familiar with korean culture and traditions ,if u watch korean drama u can lear too much things on live and peoples hope everyone enjoy all korean drama i watched many and now i watch Jumong - Prince of The Legend very nice thanks for korean peoples and i hope to find a beautiful korean girl to be my future love and wife forever

korean girl Oct 27 2011 5:17 pm "DONG YI"

holy_angels Oct 14 2011 5:27 am I am a huge fan of DONG yi Drama. Its magnificent . Its one of my all time great along with dae jang geum. Kudos to the Dong yi team and the management . Great work ! Keep it up . It would be really glad if dong yi is uploaded in you tube so that all the world can get a chance to watch this master piece drama. Thank you

korean girl Oct 10 2011 7:01 am o.o.o "Dong Yi" I love so much this drama its very interesting I'm a fan of Han Hyo Joo too She's my favorite actress in the world I Love Your acting in this drama Hyo Joo Fiting!

jack smith Aug 27 2011 10:24 am The last part of the movie has very bad english translations. WHAT HAPPEND? Dong Yi is translated as Together Yi? Me means yes? I don't know what happend at the end now and it is driving me crazy

Zana Jul 25 2011 5:40 pm Dong Yi TV series (in Kurdish) just ended in Kurdistan (north Iraq) every one was hooked to the TV, lol people were always talking about the events and often argue over who is the most hated character. But for me the star has to be Han Hyo Joo (also known as ''Dongi'') the girl is simply a breath of fresh air.

but I am disappointed that she did not persisted to get few mistakes checked and re shoot the seen where she is holding her 2 month old dead baby in her arm, you see the baby's hand move very clearly over 5 times.

Devil Jul 11 2011 11:12 pm I Love this Drama ! my life live for watch this drama ! My superstar is ! Yoon chan! Yoon chan !Yoon chan ! Yoon chan Yoon chan ! Yoon chan ! Yoon Chan ! Yoon chan ! Yoon Chan ! Yoon Chan ! YOon Chan ! Yoon Chan ! Yoon Chan !

Bip-bip Apr 10 2011 4:38 pm Gedorah was homosexual? Because I see a picture entitled: Gedorah's husband.

pj Apr 08 2011 2:10 am every tym i hear the sound of a solemn music i remember my favorite korean drama.. "dong-yi" it reminds me of how choi dong-yi plays hageum... "dong-yi" is a must seen movie for all ages...!

will Mar 23 2011 2:12 am I watch all series for 5 days, and I feel empty and lonely on the next days... as if the characters are part of my life...

pj Jan 20 2011 6:30 am can't help myself to watch it again! dong-yi is one of the best drama ive ever seen!

Amber Jan 03 2011 6:05 pm I'm a fan of Han Hyo Joo.She's my favorite actress in the world.I'm learning Jap bcos I heard she liked jap movies.I like her better with her child,Geum in the drama.They're compatible and shown great acting together.It almost feel like she's her real son.I hope she getting another daesang in coming years.Congratulation for getting daesang at MBC award ceremony.I hope you be better in 2011 and sings a lot of warm songs and sincere dramas.I like her best in Soul Special.She's fitted for the roll.I hope she to visit to Myanmar if it's possible.

..... ;)

aa Oct 06 2010 4:18 am agreed with li.though its historical yet im able to laugh.good storyline with a twist of humor especially the king.ji jin hee is superb

albert Oct 05 2010 6:20 pm watched it for a while, then it got stupid, too many twists an turns, how may times are the bad "guys" given a chance, they go to bad , then good, it spends too much time portraying bad people then try to make them good again....stopped watching it, alltogether....

GiaLam Sep 20 2010 5:34 pm Ilove this drama . It's so interesting . I love the act of the King in this movie .I also like the other actors & actress too . They are perfomed very well . I feel sory for Bodyguard Cha .It' better if have another lovely girl for him & the Queen wouldn't die . Can't wait to watch this drama untill the end...

Li Aug 22 2010 2:54 am Hope to see an extension of the drama.

Li Aug 22 2010 2:52 am I love the acting of Ji Jin Hee as King Sukjong, he projects a warmth and endearing personality when it comes to a romantic scene with Dong Yi. Although, Han Hyo Joo acting is good too, but in love scene she is a bit stiff, as it is always the King who hug her first.

kim soo-wook Aug 17 2010 5:27 am Han Hyo-Joo is stunning!!! I hope she always have a great role like her role in this drama and two previous drama

Husker Aug 14 2010 4:21 pm Another great series! I see a number of actors and actresses from "Lee San" and the "Great Queen Seondeok". Can't stop watching this, the Korean women are so gorgeous! Keep up the good work here in America, MBC!

Mei Lin Aug 07 2010 1:36 pm As I watch this drama, excellent story and performance. Suggestion, will you have the part 2 after frew years? The story of Dong - Yi's son 21st King of Jeoson. I will recommend Yoon shi Yoon to be the actor together with Eugene of Baker king, Kim Tak Gu, and possible the rest of the original cast of Dong-yi. It'll be another hit maker =D

Mei Lin >>>

fiziee Jul 15 2010 3:38 pm Great drama and outstanding acting. My beloved Han Hyo Joo is there too. Saranghae. <3

Gene Jun 23 2010 3:41 pm This is a very fun and heart warming drama. Sort of like Dae Jang Geum meets Roman Holiday. That probably won't make sense until you see it. Han Hyo Joo is (of course) wonderful. :)

Sonny Jun 04 2010 8:51 am Beautiful and fascinating Drama, excellent acting...top grade in every aspect od a wonderful work. Thanks so much.

refy Jun 04 2010 5:11 am Ah........Han Hyo-Joo I Love Your Acting In This Drama Faboulous!!! ^_^

Chum May 22 2010 11:53 am COOL! Many of them have acted together in other dramas before:

- Han Hyo Joo + Lee So Yeon = in "Spring Waltz" - Han Hyo Joo + Bae Su Bin = in "Brilliant Legacy" - Lee So-Yeon + Bae Su Bin = in "Temptation of an Angel"

ana Apr 17 2010 12:09 pm i love this drama...i am a fan of Korean drama...very very nice.
