韓國古裝劇《大長今》是我大學時喜歡的戲劇之一。

Korean costume drama "Dae Jang Geum" is  my favorite dramas in college.

長今的母親朴明伊與軍官徐天壽相識相戀，生下了聰明穎慧而心地仁善的長今。

Jang Geum’s mother, Park Myung-i(朴明伊), met and fell in love with the officer Xu Tian-shou(徐天壽), and gave birth to Xu Chang-jin(徐長今), who is wise and kind.

長今不幸在幼年即失去雙親，幸而遇到服務於宮廷御膳廚房的姜德久夫婦收留及照顧，並在因緣安排下，成為御膳廚房小宮女。

Chang-Jin unfortunately lost her parents at a young age. Fortunately, she met Jiang De-jiu(姜德久)who served in the court kitchen and his wife to take care of them. After a series of fate arrangements, she became the imperial palace maid.

那位嚴格、慈愛而秉性端正的尚宮韓愛鐘，既成為長今的廚藝師傅，也是她人格養成上的重要師長。

The strict, loving, and upright Shanggong Han Ai-zhong(韓愛鐘)has become Xu Chang-jin’s important teacher in her cooking skills and personality development.

然而，即使是聰穎、認真、端正且溫厚的韓尚宮，也沒能逃過御膳廚房內部鬥爭，不幸在流亡途中失去性命。

However, even the clever, serious, upright and good-natured Han Ai-zhong(韓愛鐘)failed to escape the internal struggle in the imperial kitchen and unfortunately lost her life in exile.

惟人生乃是禍福相依，長今在流放地遇見了醫女張德，開啟學醫之路，回宮之後，成為醫女，並在主簿申益必、鄭雲白等人指導下精進醫術，最後成為深得信任的醫官。

But life depends on misfortune and good fortune. Xu Chang-jin met Chang-De, a medical women in exile, and started the path of studying medicine. After returning to the palace, she became a medical women. Under the guidance of the master book Shen Yi-bi(申益必), Zheng Yunbai(鄭雲白)and others, she refined her medical skills, eventually become a trusted medical officer.

在《維基百科》的網頁上，也已經整理了這部韓國MBC於2003年首播、曾引起亞洲各地韓劇熱潮的古裝劇之簡介。

On the webpage of "Wikipedia", a brief introduction to this costume drama, which was first aired by MBC in South Korea in 2003, has caused a boom in Korean dramas across Asia has also been compiled.

今日忽然想起，劇中一位重要但不是主角的人物──閔美琴尚宮。

I suddenly remembered today that an important but not the main character in the play──Min Mi-qin Shanggong.

閔尚宮是個性低調但心地正直的前輩，與長今、連生私交都不錯。我想到她說的一句台詞，大意是，不求表現，只要細水長流活得長長久久就好了。

Min Shang-gong is a predecessor with a low-key personality but an honest heart. She has good personal relationships with Xu Chang-jin and Lian-sheng(連生).I thought of a line which she said, to the effect that, she doesnt deliberately pursue dazzling performance in the workplace,and just hopes to have a long and safe journey,then is enough.

也許是這種低調、溫和、單純、直率，讓閔尚宮在政爭中並未受到太多的波及，只是升遷之路相比之下似乎慢些。

Perhaps it is this low-key, gentle, simple, and straightforward that Min Shanggong has not been affected too much in political disputes, but the road to promotion seems slower in comparison.

但人生境遇難以預期，隨著連生忽然變成淑媛，閔尚宮也轉職為至密尚宮。閔尚宮其實是一位很有智慧，也很有福氣的人物。

But the life situation was unpredictable. As Lian-sheng(連生) suddenly became Shu-yuan(淑媛), Min Shanggong was also transferred to Most secret shanggong(至密尚宮？).Min shanggong is actually a very intelligent and blessed figure.

另外一位非主角也很重要的角色，是醫女張德。張德是長今因案流放濟州島時相遇的貴人，在那裏教會了長今基本的醫術。

Another non-protagonist and very important role is the medical girl Chang-De. Chang-De is a noble man(貴人)who met when Chang-jin was exiled to Jeju Island(濟州島)due to a case, and taught Chang-jin the basic medical skills there.

也許因為身世淒涼，曾受冤屈，醫女張德一開始給人的印象有點兇，有點難相處，酷臉程度，類似申益必主簿初登場時那樣。

Perhaps because of a bleak life experience and a misconduct, the medical girl Chang-De initially gave the impression that she was a bit fierce, a little difficult to get along with, and had a cool face, similar to Shen Yi-bi(申益必)s first appearance.

但她心地善良、正直，醫術精湛，自我要求高，也不只一次幫助了長今。張德醫女固然是長今的貴人，或許也正是因為，我們長今面對所有的人都以保持開放、不預設立場的心熟悉與認識，才能讓醫女張德敞開心胸與之成為朋友。

However, she is kind-hearted, upright, exquisite in medical skills, and has high standards of self-requirements, which helped Chang Geum not only once. Chang-de is definitely Chang-jin’s noble person. Perhaps it is precisely because our Chang-jin are familiar with and knowing all people in open and unpredictable heart, so that medical woman Chang-de can open up with her and become friends.

認識長今，對醫女張德來說，不也是人生一大樂事嗎？從這個角度來看，長今是張德醫術上的學生，卻也是張德生命中的貴人。

Knowing Chang-jin, isn’t it a great joy in life for the medical girl Chang-de? From this perspective, Chang-jin is a student of Chang-des medical skills, but she also be a noble person in Chang-des life.

長今這部韓國古裝劇中，類似這樣「重要」卻可能並非「主角」的角色，其實也有太多太多可以學習的點。大學時，看《大長今》這部戲劇，只看得到長今與政浩的愛情故事，一首〈何茫然〉曾令我悵惘不已，覺得韓國古代愛情為何是如此浪漫。

In Chang-jin’s Korean costume drama, there are too many things to learn from, like this "important" but may not be the "protagonist." When I was in college, when I watched the drama "Dae Jang Geum", I could only see the love story between Chang-jin and Min Jung-Ho(閔政浩). The song "He Mang Ran"(何茫然) once made me bewildered. I think that"why ancient Korean love is so romantic?"

那中宗王上明明錯愛了長今，卻也展現大王的君子之風，成全她與閔政浩。

The king of Zhong-zong(中宗) obviously loved Chang-jin by mistake, but he also showed the kings gentleman style, perfecting her and Min Zhen-ghao(閔政浩).

王上固然曾給予長今在事業發展的助力，與情感路上的協助；長今則給王上醫療保健、養生觀念，及無意間讓王上感受到真正關懷不必擁有的道理，則王上與長今之間，不其實也是互為生命貴人嗎？

Although the king once gave Chang-jins career development and assistance on the emotional road; Chang-jin also gave the king health care, concepts, and Unintentionally, let the king understand a truth, that is: true care does not have to have, then the king and Chang-jin, arent they actually being each others precious people?

不過，當時除情感故事外，其他重點一律泛泛看過，看來是小妹當時尚缺乏人生的智慧了，但也不能過於自責。

However, at that time, apart from emotional stories, all other important points have been seen broadly. It seems that the young girl lacks the wisdom of life when she is in fashion, but she should not be too self-blame.

個人淺見以為，韓劇大長今是值得一看再看的佳作。《維基百科》與其他網路資料，論述甚詳，有興趣的網友，請使用Google引擎搜尋「大長今」，即可閱覽相關資訊。
