Jang-Geum overcame the male dominated socio-economic structure and her low class female stature to make the greatest achievement during her time. She quickly moved up the social ladder by first becoming a royal cook, then becoming a royal physician, and then ultimately landing the job of being the King’s personal physician. The King even gave her the famous nickname, “The Great Jang-Geum.”
