The Servant (2010)

Chunhyang is the folk tale. The movie is beautifully and artistically sung to poetry. It's one of my all time favorites. Servant is another spin on this old story of love and loyalty.

In order to fully appreciate the Servant, you may want to see Chunhyang first...

Based on popular South Korean folk tale The Story of Chunhyang, Chunhyang is an adaptation of the original story whilst The Servant is a retelling. It's not mandatory to see one in order to understand the other, but I'd recommend seeing both. They're interesting, romantic and totally worth your time.

The Servant(2010) is basically the movie from which this show is adapted. If you liked watching this series or wanted to watch this series Bang Ja Chronicles but could not find subs, you can try watching the movie version.

These films tell the stories of legendary women who used their beauty, wits and intelligence to get by in a world that wasn't always kind to women, especially those of low-birth and in particular giseangs. One will end more optimistically than the other. Watch to find out which.
