Hyang Dan subbed
by javabeans
Hey guys, some of you may remember how much I got a kick out of the short, two-episode drama special The Story of Hyang Dan that aired a few months ago. (Here’s my Episode 1 summary, and Episode 2.)
It may LOOK like a historical drama but it’s no more a genuine sageuk than The Hills is unscripted. I originally described it as Shrek meets Monty Python meets Korean folktales; it’s a hoot. Super Junior fans might love it for Choi Shiwon (I admit, he IS cute), but Seo Ji Hye really makes the show work, in my opinion. That and the quirky, fun directing and writing, of course.
Some kindly soul has uploaded the English-subbed version online, and as they appear to be rips from the Arirang broadcast, the subtitles are good. Downside: There are two sets of subs cluttering the screens, Chinese and English simultaneously, but it’s still eminently watchable.
Here’s Episode 1 part 1:
NOTE: The original Korean broadcast was in two episodes. The Arirang/Youtube version has split those two hours into five shorter episodes, but the content is the same.
Episode 1: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
Episode 2: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
Episode 3: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
Episode 4: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
Episode 5: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
Have fun!

Waw.
I have seen this, and it's quirky funny indeed.
But without reading your summary, I was almost lost with the comedy, since it's so local!! :P
Anyway, it's good it's available on youtube, so my friend ( see above..hello Sephia..:D ) can watch and share the giggles with me now!
Thanks Javabeans!
