Jewel in the Palace - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
In the 2007 historical drama "Yi San," which is set two centuries after "Jewel in the Palace," there is a scene where a character played by actress Lee Ip-sae (who also appeared in "Jewel in the Palace") has a moment of deja vu in the royal kitchen, believing she worked there in a past life.
This is a deliberate inside joke and an homage to "Jewel in the Palace." Both series were created by the same director, Lee Byung-hoon, and produced by MBC. The scene serves as a subtle nod to the enduring legacy of the earlier, immensely popular drama.
