The movie sheds new light on the life of Hwang Jin Yi, who made her art blossom even when her love was put to test. It also depicts the tragic life of Hwang who faces hardship due to her social status.

CAST:

• Song Hye Kyo as Hwang Jin-i
• Yoo Ji-tae as Nomi

~Three reasons why I watched this movie… 1. Because I like Hwang jin Yi (not the like like.. sort of interested with Hwang Jin Yi’s life and other kisaengs) 2. I like kisaeng, they amaze me (I’m not thinking to be kisaeng) 3. Song Hye Kyo is the main cast.

I have finished this movie a long time ago just renewing a review.

The movie is boring, no offense. I think people are excited about the movie beause Song Hye Kyo is Hwang Jin Yi. The story of the tv series Hwang Jin Yi starring Ha Ji won has different story from the movie. I love the part where she started to learn the kisaeng way.

Song Hye Kyo, did a great job… She really looks mature in this movie. And she so beautiful specially wearing the black-violet hanbok.
