		The miniseries, whose viewer rate averaged 47%, and even reached a high of 57.8%, is based on the story of a real historical figure (Jang-geum) who was the first and only woman to serve as head physician to the King in the rigidly hierarchical and male-dominated social structure of the Joseon Dynasty.
		Daejanggeum, in English, "the Great Jang-geum," caught the attention of Korean TV viewers with its unique combination of two themes: the successful rise of a female, which is rarely covered in historical genre, and the elements of traditional food and medicine.
		There, she studies medicine and re-enters the palace, ultimately becoming the head physician and also the first woman physician in the history of Joseon to serve the king.

		Anyway it was set in Joseon Dynasty or Chosun period, during the times of Ming Dynasty which is not to far into the past.
		I checked several websites and was disappointed that even the Joseon dynasty wasn't that old, can't even find a painting of her.
		I suspect it was more because of the fact that she was a woman and her records were probably destroyed so we know her achievements through the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty but not much after the King died.
