What happens

Jang Geum's Dream (Korean: 장금이의 꿈) is a South Korean animation. It is a production by Munhwa Broadcasting Corporation. The animation was done by Sonokong and Heewon Entertainment. The animation centers on Jang Geum (장금), who enters the Royal Kitchen as an apprentice court lady. The show is a spinoff from MBC's mega-hit historical drama Dae Jang Geum. The animation program has been sold to Tooniverse, resulting in the broadcast of a second series in 2007. It was based on the popularity of MBC drama Daejanggeum, which aired from 2003 to 2004. Based on the time of thought of Jang Geum, the main character of the original drama "Jewel in the Palace", the whole frame is based on the original story of Jang Geum, Yeon-saeng, Geumyeong, Min Jeong-ho, and so on, adding original characters that do not appear in the drama.
