After finished watched it, I replay it again n again, laugh, sad, smile- its make me full of emotion! This film trully give us many fact about life, many people like to have power than to be powerless. And its fact that the world seem rather, forgiveness must be ask by the powerless, doesnt see it is have done nothing wrong! only the powerfull who have done wrong dont need to be ask forgiven.

As i watch this movie I am inspired to make my own story of something about Korean classics and monarchy, respectively! Because I love Dong Yi and many other Korean Drama (King an I, Reputable Family, King Kim Suro, Jumong, Dae Jang Guem, Queen Seon duk) I even print some of their photos from the internet, i downloaded a lot of videos to my USB and Facebook account and I also uploaded a lot of photos to my Facebook and My Space Account. I LOVE DONG YI, I LOVE KOREA! kuma-o!

I am Korean so I love all the Korean dramas. Dong Yi is my first movie I liked my whole life. It was so interesting and she is the kindest person I ever saw but she suffered at a very young age which was so sad for her. I really understand how she felt lonely all the time but after she met the king her life incredibly changed like magic and she deserves it.

Hello Dong Yi actors, actresses, fans and those who work behind the scene to bring us this fantastic and breathtaking drama. I do have a question though. When will episodes 55 and 56 come out. It’s killing me with the suspense of awaiting these 2 episodes because I know I’ll be seeing major punishment coming down on Hee Bin, her brother, her mother, and those who served them. Too bad some of those scheming with her, the royals, too bad they did not get dragged in for punishment also. They deserve the punishment too. Anyhow, have a wonderful day to all of you who are responsible for bringing this drama Dong Yi to us the public. God Bless each and everyone of you.
I love Dong Yi drama also.. I have to say, every Monday and Tuesday, I look forward to watching it. I sometimes have to re-watched the few episodes that I like over and over (silly me
). So, for the subbers, thank you so very much for your time and for subbing this drama. I can’t seem to get enough DY!!!!
Dong yi is definitely one of my top korean dramas. it has a bit of everything, history, romance, comedy, action, and science. i love it! after a few episode you will get hook like i did.
Dong Yi is one of the best Korean Drama I have seen. I am addicted to Korean dramas and movies and I can honestly say I love this drama. It glued me to watch the screen until all the available episodes were done. I hated the fact I have to wait for the next episodes to be made available But I anxiously await them, and I keep checking almost every day for the next ones. Dong Yi makes me laugh, cry and at times angry and stressed out. Good job to the actors and actresses but especially to the producer and those involved in making this film. I love Dong Yi drama so very, very much!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for bringing us such a wonderful and entertaining drama.

This is a great Drama I recomend 100% to wach, the leading actor the king is doing a great job on his acting and the one doing DongYi is great actor too. Good luck
saya suka dengan ceritanya sungguh mengesankan dan pemainnya juga profesional.saya salah satu pengemar drama korea karena mereka membuat inspirasi yang sangat sangat hebat untuk setiap pemeran utamanya.salut deh ,bakat yang sangat kreatif.gud luck .
i got hooked to korean drama series when i saw Queen Seon Deok and Dae Jang Geum. now I am always looking forward to watch Dong-yi .I love the actors and actresses with their great portrayals. I love historical dramas too. It made us understand more of the great persons who make Korea what it is now. Continue making great tv dramas. Hopefully I can visit Korea next year. Where did they shoot Dong-YI, I wonder? Does anybody know? Go korea, keep up the good work
Has anyone heard what the Actor from Yi San is doing these days. I believe the name is Lee Jong Soo.Our house was rooting for the guy the whole time. Getting job as actor can be tough, so hope he’s found something,you know.
You know the thought occured…two of the best, but most sad countries Israel and Korea. What do you think if we all just dont buy anymore made in China, til the Train from Pyongyang to Beijin is given permanent chinese citizenship. Modern economies hate boycots.
hey, this is a great sa geuk. Everyone in America call your local PBS station and ask them to buy in and show it. If not, D-Addicts is the way, the truth and the entertainment.
I am not a member of the great little country, so I will ask why its spelled Dong Yi. Should spelling be Dawn Ya.Caused me big prob with Dae Jang Geum, whole time I could not say her name.
You guys, I willy like decriptions of Dawn Ya. I knew when He fell in water, He would come back. So happy
wow! I’m really grateful about the character descriptions… I wish after they air it in Korea… it’ll be shown in Philippines afterwards, ‘coz I like historical drama, especially Korea… =D BTW, I SUPER LOVE diz drama… It has Han Hyo-joo(Shining Inheritance & Spring Waltz) & Ji Jin-hee(Dae Jang Geum)
I have also like the pictures, n’ downloaded it!!!
Kamsamhamnida!!!
every day im checking if the next episodes is available.Just dont make it too long. I really like this drama, specially im a fan of han hyo joo and ji jin hee. congrats… Dong Yi is great, i will recommend this and looking forward for the whole episodes with eng. sub.i’m from the Philippines…sarangheyo…makers of Dong Yi.
