1st episode of a foreign TV drama

Recently, I watch Dae Jang Geum in SKY PerfecTV. My family loves this TV drama and we always watch it at dinner time.

It is a Korean drama and it was produced in 2003. This drama's heroin is Jang Geum. She was born from an affair between army officer and woman who worked in the imperial court. Her father, Seo Cheon soo, was the army officer and he killed the Deposed Queen Lady Yun because he was ordered to by the king who was her husband. Cheon soo suffered from this incident and on his way home, he fell from a cliff. He was rescued by an old man, however he told Cheon soo a mysterious message. he said, "Your life will revolve around three women, the first woman will be killed by you, second woman will be saved by you but will be killed because of you, third woman will kill you but will save a lot of people." The old man also said that if he didn't meet the second woman, you would not meet the third woman, too.

Cheon soo decided to not be interested in woman but he met a woman. She was Park Myeong yi and they were to be married. They had a child, she was Jang Geum. She always asked a lot of question to parents and she was so curious. They were so happy but Jang Geum's father, Cheon soo was killed because of Jang Geum. When he was going to be taken to the government office, unintentionally she  said that, "He is military officer to protect the king !!". After she said that, Cheon soo was taken to government office and he was killed. Jang Geum and her mother attempt to escape from their pursuers but her mother was killed. Jang Geum has to live by herself. This is Dae Jang Geum's 1st episode. I think this drama is the most interesting drama of Korean TV dramas.

BR01-15: The Leopard and the Sky God

This story is about the Sky God, the leopard, his drum, the python, the elephant and the tortoise. (p,2,3)

First, I thought tortoise is so terrible!! That is leopard's drum nevertheless she held out it to the Sky God with cheated the leopard. This story is similar to Aesop story. I have read that series but I don't know this story. However, I think the tortoise is so smart but I feel it is not good to cheat someone and rob someone's things. This story drown that consists of tortoise's shell in the last part. I feel it is so interesting. If you are interested in it, I recommend you to read it.

BR01-14: The Magic Porridge Pot

This story is about hungry Hannah, an old woman, a greedy boy, a magic pot and a LOT of porridge. (p,2,3)

I think children will like this story because it is so cute and interesting story. This story's heroin, Hannah, met an old woman and she was given a pot from an old woman. This pot can full of porridge when someone say the magic words. Hannah was told it from an old woman and she didn't worried about hungry. However a greedy boy stole this pot. He thinks he want to eat a lot of porridge. However he didn't know the magic words which stop making porridge. He couldn't stop and Hannah stopped it. A greedy boy never steel it from that incident. I like this type's story because at the end of it, there is happy end only. I want all of children to learn everything from this Usborne series.

BR01-13: Why the sea is salty

Long ago, the sea wasn't salty like it is today. Once, it tasted sweet. (p,3)

This story is very interesting for me and I like it. The main thing of this story is the millstone. It can make gold and jewels or special spices or whatever the king asked for. This is king's millstone but a thief heard about it and he stolen it from the palace. Since I was a child, I have been thought why the sea is salty. I don't know whether this story is true but I think this story will give for children a lot of dream. If you want to know why the sea is salty because of the millstone, you should read it.
