Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Choi Dong Yi, a commoner child, was living a peaceful life with her coroner father and palace musician brother when one day, she found a dying man lying by a riverbank and is unwittingly caught within a massive political conspiracy involving the murders of key government officials. Tragedy ensues when the conspirators framed the illegal but innocent commoners' secret society Geom Gye for the murders and proceeded to exterminate them. It turns out that Dong Yi's father is the leader of the society and he and Dong Yi's brother are killed in the process. She survived however and managed to enter the royal palace to work as a servant in the Bureau of Musicnote and later on as an inspector in the Office of Investigations, so as to preserve her own life as well as to wait for an opportunity to redress the wrongful deaths of her father and brother. From then on, she has to contend with the rich but complex (and often difficult) life in the palace as well as the incessant palace intrigues that lurks in the background while still maintaining a positive outlook in life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Dong Yi is a 2010 South Korean historical drama that is loosely based on the life of Consort Suk of the Choi clan, a concubine of King Sukjong of Joseon (r. 1675-1720) and mother of the future King Yeongjo (r. 1724-1776). It can be considered as a spiritual successor to the earlier historical drama Dae Jang Geum in the sense that both series features a Plucky Girl protagonist who is subjected towards numerous trials and tribulations within the palace and ultimately overcoming them all through hard work, determination and sincerity. There are notable differences however. While Dae Jang Geum revolves around the culinary arts and medicine, Dong Yi focuses on music and investigation, the latter being the driving force for many of the arcs in the series. | |

"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune | |
Dong Yi / int_20b5cce7 | comment |
"Do It Yourself" Theme Tune: Dong Yi played a slow, instrumental version of the theme tune a few times using a haegum in memory of her deceased brother who used to play the same instrument. This became a plot point when King Sukjong heard and was enchanted by it and spent a considerable amount of time trying to find the player, but failing all the time until the most dramatic moment. | |

The girl is none other than Dong Yi, and Lady Jang's eventual downfall is largely caused by her incessant plotting against Dong Yi. | |

Properly Paranoid: Dong Yi shows shades of this later in the series, which is how she is able to Out Gambit a number of plots against her. An example would be she ordering her room to be applied with liberal amounts of ginger-water to detect any intruders who might want to steal the Registration Archive she hid in her room while she was out attending a banquet. It also helps that she has Shim Woon Taek advising her. | |

Establishing Character Moment: King Sukjong.

That and his subsequent altercation with his ministers in court over the meteorite established him as a Reasonable Authority Figure who values hard evidence and is not afraid to challenge his ministers if he feels they are wrong. | |

When he first appeared in the series, he was an exiled scholar wandering from lodgings to lodgings in the distant district of Uiju, and generally annoying its government officials with his witticisms along the way. The hedonist aspect of this trope is completely averted however. | |

Ambition Is Evil: A rather tragic case for Lady Jang. She was initially portrayed to be ambitious only, and refuse to resort to underhand methods to realise her dreams. Things began to change after her brother revealed that he has been supporting her from the sidelines using those methods she despised and urged her to accept the plot he was brewing. The last straw came about when she realised that King Sukjong was beginning to favour Dong Yi, making her lose all her fetters in achieving her ambition. | |

Blue Blood: The yangban scholarly-elites are essentially the nobility during the Joseon dynasty, although their titles are technically only semi-hereditary. Nevertheless, class-based differences are very pronounced, even during the time period this series is set in, and can be observed by the regular depictions of the elites' contemptnote or even maltreatment towards the commoners throughout the series. | |

Tragic Villain: Despite her insistence that she would have committed the same deeds again if given another chance, it is evident that Lady Jang would not have fallen so rapidly if not for her family's machinations behind her back. In fact, she is the one who ended up having to clean up the mess left by her mother and her brother's plots, which tend to backfire more often than not. | |
