Review of episode 3

This episode explored the theme of how intellect is important. Jang Geum is intelligent and successfully convey the message to the person who would be the next king. As a result, she was rewarded for her intellect and got to go to the palace.This episode explored the theme of class inequality. Jang Geum was bullied by the other girls because she was of a lower status than them. They refused to let her sleep with them.This episode explored the theme of perseverance and how it paid off. Jang Geum was determined to be a palace maid and even though it was hard, she eventually got her wish and entered the palace.

This just doesn't do it for me.

I know this drama is a classic and one of the highest rated ever, but I'm finding it too boring to continue. It is just too long and slow for my taste. It seemed like nothing interesting happened this whole episode.
