Jang Ok-Jung, Live in Love

Jang Ok-Jung, Live in Love turned out to be an alternate history drama, kind of. Jang Ok-Jung, a famous villain in Korean history is shown as a victim of her status and her love (for the King), and they have completely omitted the King's other (younger) son from the concubine Choi who is shown as the true villain of the drama, that younger son will eventually become a well known king who murdered his own son. Anyway, I liked it mainly because I love Yoo Ah In (who plays the king) but it is rather annoying to see all the women reduced to love lorn victims or power hungry shrews trying to get the King to notice them or something. In one of the last scenes we see how power hungry, vindictive cause yet another woman to die. All in all this was not worth it except for Yoo Ah In who is a good actor and a handsome man.
