Thank you for the question. When it comes to a tv series that enjoy watching, I think I would like to choose a korean drama which entitles dongye. It is about a struggle or a fight of a girl who wants to achieve the highest position in the palace. And the first time she enters the palace, she never, um, wants to be a very special girl. Because she believes it’s impossible for her to be like what at the very first time she wants to be. However, the destiny says something different. The king of the palace fell in love with her. And it is the cornerstone or the overst from which, uh, her life will be different. The first time I watched that movie or that tv series, it was about 20 years ago, when I was in the elementary school. Um, if I’m not mistaken, it was when I’m in the fifth grade of the elementary school. I like watching it because it is highly motivating, also touching. And the most important factor which attract my mind is about the intelligence of that goal. She can face any kind of constraints by using her intelligence. And, um, there is always a surprising, um, thing that she provides in overcoming various problems. She keeps striving for dreams in the palace and never gives up. So what I watched in that movie also affects the way I am facing the problems in my real life. Yeah, it’s motivating, touching, and full of surprising elements inside it.

It's about the journey of a young woman who aspires to become the highest-ranking female chef in the royal palace. When she first enters the palace, she doesn't have any grand ambitions. She believes that achieving such a position is impossible for someone like her. However, fate has other plans. The king falls in love with her, and this becomes a turning point in her life.
