You made your way to the front, the sound of your name, leaving nearly everyone shocked but your best friend, who had the biggest grin on her beautiful face. No one had expected you to get through, not even yourself. A blush blankets your face as you make your way to the line at the front. A moment passes as everyone waits for the ladies who did not get through to leave the smaller courtyard.

"Congratulations ladies" you hear Hoseok speak, breaking the silence, whilst looking over each and every one of you. You don't know if you were just imagining it, but the tall and handsome man had sent an almost imperceptible smile your way, making your eyes go wide. "Now, myself and Jungkook will tell you your residences, and we will also assign you 2 maids and a manservant for you to use at your convenience"

"Let's start with the furthest away from this little courtyard shall we?" Jungkook questioned, though the question was rhetorical.

"Bae Suzy, You are in the Sapphire Apartment. Along with the manservants, you brought along with you, you are also being assigned Shin Won-ho as your manservant and Kim Tae-Yeon and Chou Tzu-yu as your maids. Please proceed to your apartment"

"Next we have the Chariote Apartment, the person who will be staying there is Han Sun-Hwa. You are being assigned Lee Jong-Hyun, Jeon So-Yeon and Kwon Yu-Ri. Please proceed."

The process carried on.

"Ruby Apartment is for Hwang Yeji, You are assigned Kang Dong-Ho, Ahn Sol-Bin and An Yu-Jin. Please proceed.

"Opal Apartment. Kim Seol-Hyun. Woo Ji-Ho, Son Chae-Young, Cho Seung-Hee"

"Carnelian Apartment. Kwon Eun-Bi. Yoo Ki-Hyun, Lee Hae-in and Lee Young-Yoo"

"Amber Apartment. Choi Mi-Young. Doh Kyung-Soo, Bae Woo-He, Baek A-Yeon"

"Azurite Apartment. Kim Si-Jeong. Lee Byung-Hun, Go Woo-Ri and Park Hye-Won"

At this point, everyone had left apart from you. "Miss Seo, as you were an unexpected candidate, your apartment is still getting ready and the maids needed a few more moments, so we were trying to prolong this for as long as possible. You have been assigned Moon Jong-Up, Ahn Hye-Jin who goes by Maria or Hwa-Sa and Jun Hyo-Seong. I hope that they treat you well. To prolong this even longer as we have not received the signal that they are ready, we are going to give you a tour, are you okay with that?" The pair asked.

"Perfectly." You responded. "It would be my honour" You carried on with a smile. "Please, Lead the way". The two young men smiled at you, before moving down the stairs towards you. Suddenly, you felt incredibly nervous, these incredibly attractive young men were looking directly at you, with no signs of distate anywhere on their faces or bodies. The men took a space on either side on your, Hoseok moving his arms to point the way out of the courtyard. "Do you have a flower that you appreciate the most?" Jungkook asked "Good question Kookie" Hoseok said, the nickname making your eyes widen again, almost not expecting the men to be so close that they were using nicknames. "We might have your favourite here in one of the gardens"

"Cherry blossoms, Chief State Councillor and High Councillor. My most appreciated flower of all is Cherry Blossom." The two men share a look between each other. "That is our Gracious King's favourite, so much that he has a garden dedicated to it, coincidentally, the garden is right next to your apartment" A small gasp left your lips, the excitement evident not just on your face but on your whole body as you turned to both of them, your hands clasping together joyfully. "Really!?! Can we go there?" You asked hopefully. Both men smiled at your excited state before telling you that you could, and led the way, right to the entrance of the garden. There was a small bridge to cross before you would actually be in the park, and you ran quickly across it, accidentally forgetting about the two men behind you. You span round quickly, a giant smile on your face, trying to look everywhere at everything.

"I take it that you like the garden," a voice behind you, which you quickly identified as Hoseok, spoke. "Almost more than anything in the world," You said without thinking. Both men let out a laugh, which made you look at them with a questioning gaze. "You have almost the same reaction as the Good King". This very sentence made you stop in your spot, your face dropping, looking almost horrified to be compared to the King. "Omo, I am not worthy of being compared to our gracious King" You spoke, anxiously wringing your hands together. "My apologies Lady Seo, we didn't mean to make you anxious," Jungkook said. You noticed a young woman run up to the two men and yourself. She spoke quietly to the men, before bowing and turning away. The two men turned to you, smiling slightly "Your apartment is ready Lady Seo, let us lead you there" Hoseok said. Nodding, you spoke gently "Please do lead the way". You bow gently, allowing the men to turn around and lead the way out of the garden that you had fallen in love with, and almost didn't want to leave.

It took barely two minutes before you arrived in front of the apartment. "This is the Emerald apartment. Next to you, there is the Queen Dowager's Garden, you are not allowed to enter that space without her explicit permission" Jungkook stated sternly. "And on your other side is Lady Hwang" Hoseok finished. This made you smile, your apartments here, being closer to each other than the houses in your town were. "Lady Hwang Yeji is my best friend," You spoke gently, a small but warm smile on your face at the mention of your best friend. "We have known each other since we were born, my eomma likes to say that I have two sets of parents, both our parents raised both of us..." you paused, your smile turning into a frown "well my eomma and Yeji's parents, my appa..." you spoke again, your frown becoming bigger. "You don't need to tell us, Lady Seo" Hoseok said calmly, laying a gentle hand on your shoulder. You look up, and into the handsome man's eyes, your eyes slightly blurry with tears, making something flash in Hoseok's eyes. "I feel like I almost need to" you spoke "My appa, he used to be a good man, until he fell from grace, he lost a lot of his respect, and therefore money, and the money he did keep, he used to drink. He would blame me for his drinking, he would tell me it was my fault, that he wished it was I who died and not my sister. Before I left, he attacked me for the first time, he dragged me by my hair to the floor and yelled at me. My eomma, she's a wonderful woman, she grabbed him by the ear and dragged him out of the house once she realised he was in my room and harming me. Appa had a bruise on his ear still, when I left for the procession. My bruises still remain intact too, but when I remember what my eomma did, the fire in her eyes, I feel proud to be her descendant" You finally finished your story.

You could see anger clearly on both men's faces. "I know I need not worry about my eomma whilst I'm here, she is as fierce as the summer in the sky in the summer sky." The warm smile lay on your lips, remembering your eomma. "She sounds like a wonderful woman" Jungkook spoke, a smile that could be perceived as genuine if there were someone looking on from the outside in.

"Anyway's my Chief Councillor and High Councillor, I must leave your warm presence and settle myself into my apartments. I hope to see you soon Your Honours. May the sun warm your cheeks, and the food fills your bellies" You speak eloquently, bowing low before the two handsome men, before turning and leaving their presence to enter your apartments.

The apartment that you entered was spacious and homely. In the room stood your friends Chan and Changbin with large grins on their faces, along with your assigned manservant and maids.

"My Lady, Your room is this way, would you like me to help you redress" Hyo-Seong spoke, her hand pointing to an area separate from the room you all stood in. The room was separated from the room you were in by a wall of sliding doors. The entire apartment was decorated in green and brown, the sliding doors were made of oak, and the cloth was painted with the seal of the kingdom in the colours your apartment was named after. It was a beautiful sight to behold, and you knew that if you had any spare time, you would ask your maids to retrieve any painting items they could get a hold of so that you could show this image to your eomma when you got home again. You knew that she would take great delight in your painting, and knowing how an apartment within the royal castle looked and would love the painting even more so, knowing it came from her daughter.

"That would be lovely Miss Jun" you spoke to the woman. She nodded her head as a slight bow, walking to the room you now identified as your bedroom. In the room, there was a large box placed near the window, on top of it was a new hanbok ready for you to wear. "Would you like a bath Lady Seo?" Hyo-Seong asked. You shook your head, a feeling of exhaustion coming over you in a quick wave. "Do you think it would be possible to sleep for a short period Miss Jun?" You asked hopefully. "Unfortunately not, My Lady, there is much to do. As you have reached the second stage, you must prepare for a meeting with Queen Dowager. You will soon also be accepting gifts from the royal family, of which I am unsure, but you must prepare to receive them. We must also start preparing you for your interview, and the luncheon that is happening tomorrow. There is also a Royal Banquet that we must prepare you for. I assume you have attended a banquet before, but a royal banquet is much more different to the ones of the high class" The maid in front of you explained your schedule for the coming potential one to two weeks that you would be residing in a royal apartment.

"Very well, then we must begin," You say a small polite smile on your face. "What's first?" you ask. "First My Lady, we must dress you," she says, returning your attention back to the box that had caught your attention when you first walked into the room. You didn't recognise the hanbok, remembering all the ones that you owned. "I apologise, but this is not my hanbok," you tell your maid "No My Lady, the Queen Dowager sent this. It's the first gift from the royal family." Excitement fills your body, knowing that this was something that the Queen Dowager herself had someone make and be sent. "But only 6-7 were predicted, and I'm not the average size", you questioned slightly, the anxiety that you had felt earlier in the day returning in full force. "The Queen Dowager had this one sent specifically, it was a hanbok she had in her storage, she wore it when she was pregnant with the King. She sent a letter along with it" you were told before being handed the letter

Dear Lady Seo,

The Royal Family apologises for not having anything prepared for you. I did not have a gift prepared for you, however, your crest is a crest that has a long line, and the crest on your hanbok is a phoenix. This was my family crest before I married King Sejong, the King's late father. It was a hanbok I wore when I was pregnant with the King. I hope that it does you well, as it is now yours. Please meet me in my gardens at 3.

Sincerely,

Her Royal Highness, The Queen Dowager Kim Eun-Ji

"What time is it?" You ask loudly, waiting for anyone in the household to respond. "2:30" you hear someone yell, unsure of who it was due to the closed doors between you. You feel your face pale. Turning to your maid you speak again "We must hurry, please call Miss Ahn in, time is not on our side". The maid nods, before running the door and calling in the other woman.

Within 20 minutes, your hair had been brushed and moved into a restyled updo, behind held back with a purple dwikkoji, your under clothes being changed for cleaner ones, and then the gifted hanbok was placed onto your body. It fit almost like a glove like it was made for you. The jeogori was a gorgeous dark purple colour, decorated with golden detailing featuring a phoenix, the goreum was also in an off-gold colour. The chima was a black colour with the same golden detail. Your beoseons were black as well as your shoes which were decorated in the same gold detailing. With a few minutes to spare, your maids applied some basic makeup consisting of plant ash to apply a dark brown colour to your eyebrows, safflower was used to apply a light rouge to your lips and cheeks and cherry blossom petals took right from the very cherry blossom garden you had just been in (it was a perfume that was on the dressing table when you got here, you had just assumed it was a gift everyone received) mixed with water was used to make a delicious spelling perfume.

With exactly 10 minutes left before the Queen Dowager wanted to see you, you left your apartment, your manservant Moon Jong-Up directing you, almost acting as your guard as well as your guide. When you arrived outside the Queen Dowagers garden, which only took moments as you quickly found out was right next to your apartment, Mr Moon stepped aside to let you enter first, before following you slightly behind, allowing you to look like you had found the garden yourself.

It doesn't take long to notice the Queen Dowager, it shocked you slightly when you saw that she was wearing the same colours just the other way around. The lady in front of you turns towards you, hearing your footsteps. She waits at the top of the stairs of the Pavilion she was standing in. Once you reach the bottom of the stairs, you bow as low as possible to the elegant woman before you. "You're early Lady Seo" the woman speaks. "My apologies Your Majesty, I was excited to meet you once again." You speak, not allowing your nerves to take over your anxiety.

“Don’t be, it is a good thing for a woman to have, to have time management perfected, especially for a woman. Especially for a woman who may be the future mother of the kingdom, the future queen.” She says, her very words making you blush.

“You speak of me too highly My Queen,” you say. “I am eternally grateful for your gracious gift. The fabric is the softest thing I have ever had touch my skin. If there is anything I can do to show my thankfulness, please allow me to do it. Would you like some tea, Your Royal Highness?” you ask, noticing the teapot and teacups whilst you were looking around in nervousness.

“You need not worry Lady Seo, this is no longer a test, you do not need to pour my tea for me,” she says, her voice full of authority, before nodding slightly to a man that you almost hadn’t seen when you entered the pavilion. “You intrigue me, Lady Seo, you are so unlike the other candidates, both in looks and mentality. Most of your candidates, when I had asked them why they were doing this, responded with generic answers” she speaks “For his Royal Highness the King’s happiness, to get to know you Your Highness” she carries on, her voice changing to mimic the people she was speaking about, at the sound of her change in voice you let out a giggle, covering your mouth. “But your answer, it was different, you wanted to make your family proud. This was something I wanted when I was a candidate to marry the King's late father” she finishes, the words turning the mood serious once more. A lady, small and almost meek approached the table, taking the teapot and pouring tea into both the cups on the table, before retreating to her spot against the wall of the garden. “You have a beautiful garden My Queen,” you tell her trying to achieve the once jovial mood the pavilion had a matter of minutes ago. “I spent a few brief minutes in the cherry blossom garden, and I truly believe that it was the happiest moment of my life,” you tell her, allowing the smile to fill your face as your mind retrieves the memory you were talking of.

“The King’s favourite spot is also in the cherry blossom garden, he begged his father to plant the trees when he was still King, persuading him by telling him that he would propose to his future queen in that very garden,” the Queen Dowager tells you, allowing you a little into the past of the King, who you were yet to set eyes upon.

Before thinking, you blurt out “Were you scared when you made the application to become the late King Se-Jeong’s wife?” A few moments pass, and just as you go to open your mouth to apologise, the dowager stops you. “I was, in fact, I was terrified, to tell you the truth, I never wanted it, but I needed to do it for the pride of my family. I was lucky that I fell in love with the King eventually, and we had a good, long and happy life,” she answers with a small smile on her face, reminiscing on the memories of her past. “I actually have a few questions for you myself if you don't mind”

“It would be my honour to answer your questions My Queen” you respond, nervousness filling your body even more.

“The king is very… uh… close with his closest men. Would that be a problem with you?” she starts. “Of course not, if our Great King is happy, then I myself shall be happy,” you respond, hoping your answer satisfies her. She nods, with a small hum of approval.

“And concubines? What are your opinions on the concubines?” she continues her questioning.

You pause, this was something you had thought about. “Well My Queen, I have a feeling that if I was ever to become Queen, the other two candidates that would have gotten through, would be my school bullies-” the queen cuts you off after hearing of your bullies “Your bullies are in the palace?” She questions with an eyebrow raised.

“Yes Your Highness, Kim Seol-Hyun and Kwon Eun-Bi, their apartments are Carnelian and Opal if I remember correctly”, the Queen Dowager nods again. “So what would you do if you became Queen and them the concubines?” She asks, her interest even more peaked.

“Part of me would want to through them into the dungeons like they had threatened they would do with me earlier today. Another part of me would want all of the king's concubines gone but the biggest part of me wants the King to be happy, and if the concubines make My Great King happy, then I shall live with the concubines.” The Queen Dowager looks almost shocked. “The Kings happiness, at the end of the day, will always be my source of happiness, whether I get through to the final round, or I don’t. The King, from what I have heard in rumours spread across cities and towns, near and far, is that when the King is happy, the land thrives, and the people are well. My family are part of his people, and as well as making them proud, I desperately want them to be happy… even my father.” you tell her.

“Your father?"

Yine bir büyük kadın küçük erkek ilişkisi ve iş hayatında kadınlar temalı dizi ile karşı karşıyayız. Bunun diğerlerinden farkı bu sefer kadınların ne kadar güçlü olduğunu anlatmaya çalışmasıydı. Farklı bir iş alanını bize anlatması da ilgi çekiciydi. Birbirine rakip iki web portalında çalışan üç ayrı kadının hikayesini anlatıyor. Farklı olarak bu kadınların üçü de birbirinden cesur, güçlü başarılı kadınlar. Onların aşk ve iş ilişkilerine ortak olurken, web dünyasının gücüne tanık oluyoruz. Büyük şirket politikaları ve şirket içi ilişkiler de önümüze seriliyor. Kadınlarımızın hepsi olgun, zamanında zorlukları göğüslemiş, cinsiyet ayrımcılığı ile mücadele etmiş, etmeye devam eden kendini işine adamış 30lu yaşlarının sonundalar. Bu uğurda bir eş, anne olmaktan vazgeçen kadınlar dizinin odak noktası. Dizi üç kadın üzerine kurulu olduğu için kadınlardan bahsetmeden olmaz.

İlk güçlü kadınımız; Bae Ta-Mi (Lim Soo-Jung). Web portalı olan UNICON adlı şirkette 15 yılı aşkın süredir çalışmaktadır. Bir hadise sonucu şirket Ta-Mi’yi günah keçisi ilan edince istifa eder. Yaşadığı bu karmaşanın üzerine içmek için gittiği yerde Park Mo-Gun (Jang Ki-Yong) ile tanışır. Bolca içen çift geceyi beraber noktalarlar. Kadın karakterimizin yaşını başını almış olmasından kaynaklı olacak ki, cesur bir senaryo ile başlangıç yapıldı. Ertesi gün ise, erkek karakterimizin 20li yaşlarının sonunda olduğunu öğreniyoruz. Dizi boyunca bunu sorun eden tek kişi ise Bae Ta-Mi oluyor. Bu biraz can sıkıcıydı açıkçası. Yaş farkı beni rahatsız etmedi desem yalan olur. Kadının ise ben ayaklarımın üstünde duran, bağımsız güçlü bir kadınım kimseye ihtiyacım yok tavırları bir süre sonra seyretmesi çok sıkıcı bir hal almaya başlıyordu. Evet bu tarz kadın karakterleri izlemek çok güzel ama bu gücün arkasına saklanıp anlamsız tavırlar sergilenmesi hoş değildi. Ayrıca söylemeliyim ki, dizinin en uyumsuz çiftiydiler. İsmini duyurmuş olan Bae Ta-Mi, istifasının arkasından hemen rakip firma olan BARRO’dan teklif alır. Burası eski firmasının aksine daha serbest çalışılan, insanların ast üst mevzusuna girmedikleri bir şirkettir. Ta-Mi’nin yıllar boyunca alıştığı gergin ortam yoktur.

İkinci güçlü kadınımız; Cha Hyun (Seol Ji-Hwan) , Barro çalışanı olan bu sıradışı kadın Scarlett olarak bilinmektedir. Barro çalışanları kendilerine İngilizce bir isim verip bey/hanım gibi etiketleri kaldırmışlardır. Bae Ta-Mi de burada çalışmaya başladıktan sonra Tammy ismini alır. Cha Hyun, çalıştığı firmanında verdiği yetkiye dayanarak çok daha özgür, fikirleri ve idealleri için savaşan bir kadındır. Bütün o vahşi havasına rağmen en sevdiği şey pembe dizi izlemektir ve izlediği dizide beğendiği bir karakter vardır, Seol Ji-Hwan (Lee Jae-Wook). Tesadüfen bir gün karşılaşmalarının üzerine aralarında eğlenceli bir arkadaşlık başlar. Açık ara dizideki en tatlı çift bu ikisiydi. Lee Jae-Wook’u daha önce ilk Do do sol sol la la sol dizisinde izlemiştim. Diziyi o kadar sevmemişim ki hiç hatırımda kalmamış. Orada da kendinden büyük bir kadınla çiftti. Burada da yine kendisinden büyük bir kadınla yazılmış. Sonrasında Memories of the Alhambra da izlemiştim. O zamanda role nasıl büründüyse hiç kendisine benzemiyordu. Oyuncuyu beğendiğim ilk dizi bu olabilir. Diğer çiftin yaş farkı ne kadar rahatsız ettiyse, bu ikili o kadar hoşuma gitti.

Üçüncü güçlü kadınımız; Song Ka-Kyung (Jeon Hye-Jin). UNICON şirketinde üst düzey yöneticidir. Aynı zamanda Bae Ta-Mi’nin eski müdürü ve Cha Hyun’unda eskiden akıl hocasıdır. Yine eskiden en yakın arkadaşıymış. Soğuk yapısı ve güçlü bir duruşu vardır. Ailesi tarafından, görücü usulü zengin biri evlendirilmiştir. Onlara para getiren biri olarak görmektedirler. Yıllarca kaynanası tarafından köle gibi kullanılmış, şirket içinde ise maşa olarak kullanılmaya devam edilmektedir. Bunca şeye rağmen dimdik ayakta durmayı başarabilmektedir. Kocası Oh Jin-Woo (Ji Seung-Hyun) da onun gibi kendi annesinin kölesidir. Formaliteden yapılmış bu evlilikte birbirlerine saygılarını hiç kaybetmemiş iki yabancıdırlar. Kocasının Ka-Kyung’u sürekli korumaya çalışması, iyiliğini düşünmesi, onun için bir şeyler yapmak istemesi bir yandan üzücü hissettirirken bir yandan da aslında karısını karşılıksız sevdiğini gösteriyordu. Bu arada, oyuncu Jeon Hye-Jin, My mister dizisinden tanıdığımız Lee Sun-kyun’un karısı. Hatta iki de çocukları var. Bu da böyle ufak bir not.

Barro’dan da kısaca bahsedeyim. Dream work ! Çalışmak için inanılmaz ideal bir firma. Ve ekibin müdürü Min Hong-Joo (Kwon Hae-Hyo), hayallerdeki müdür resmen. Ekibine tam destek, akıl hocası, anlayış kumkuması. Şirket ismi Brian olan bu babacan müdüre bayıldım. Ekibin kalan, yan rollerde keyifli karakterlerdi. Rahatsız edici kimse yoktu. Güçsüz, ezilen kadın karakterleri başrollerde izlemeye bir nefes ara vermiş gibi oldum. Hem çalışma sektörü olarak yeni bir alan tanıyıp hem de görmeye alışık olmadığımız kendine güveni tam kadın karakterler izledik. İnternetin başka bir yüzünü ve hayatımızı ne ölçüde etkilediğini de gördük.

Dizide üçüncü kişilerin olmaması çok güzeldi. Her kadın kendi bambaşka ilişkini bize anlattı. Klişe aşk sahneleri yoktu. Kadın karakterlerin bir şekilde bir araya gelişinden ortaya çıkan dostlukları izlemeye değerdi. Ta-Mi ve Mo-Gun arasındaki konuşulup konuşulup çözüme ulaşmayan mevzuları izlemek benim içimi şişirdi. Öte yandan hükümet mevzusu, şirket yolsuzlukları gibi derin mevzulara girdikleri uzun sahnelerde diziden soğuttu bir miktar. Herkesin sevebileceği bir dizi değildi genel olarak farklı bir diziydi.

Sonuç olarak; şiddetle tavsiye ettiğim bir dizi değil. Durağan, olağan bir hikaye izlemeyi seviyorsanız size hitap edebilir. Bu dizinin benim dağarcığıma kattığı en güzel şey ise Seol Ji-Hwan oldu. Güzelliği olsun, duruşu olsun, oyunculuğu olsun her şeyine bayıldım.
