My Lovely Kim Sam-Soon


As you may all know, I'm a Koreanovela fanatic. I endure watching them for long straight hours even if it means having to tire out my eyes watching the scenes and reading the english subtitle at the same time. Among at least 5 series that I have completed watching, My Lovely Kim Sam-Soon turned out to be my most loved Koreanovela. It's just one of my many favorites but somehow it's the closest to my heart. (charrr!) I almost concur to all of Kim Sam-Soon's ideals and traits. Very simple yet with so much care and love to give. Passionate - that's what she is, i'd like to be like that. She has all the courage to fight and stand for what she believe is right. I admire people who are like that. Not easily startled by what other people may think or say. Most of all - i admire her the most because she knows when to hang on and when to let go. She may not be real and only a character in the series but ultimately, she's all that I wanted to be. Strong and dependent yet subtle and lovable. (o di ba!? :P)

Synopsis:
"Kim Sam-soon is 29 years old and overweight, and she has an unfashionable name. On Christmas Eve, she spots her boyfriend going into a hotel with another woman. Instead of dumping him then and there, she falls to her knees and begs him not to leave, but to no avail. She has not only lost her job, but also her boyfriend, both on the same day. She runs into the restroom, which turns out to be the men's room. Utterly distraught, she encounters Jin-heon who thinks she is a female pervert. They part company on the worst of terms, unaware that their paths will cross again soon.

A Cordon Bleu-trained pastry chef, Sam-soon visits a hotel for a job interview, where she meets Jin-heon again. This time, her hair becomes lodged in his tie pin. Rushed for time and somewhat irritated, Jin-heon grabs a pair of scissors and mercilessly cuts off the offending hair. In revenge, Sam-soon throws the cake she had made for the interview in Jin-heon's face. He is pleasantly surprised by the taste of the cake and hires her as a pastry chef for his restaurant Bon Appetit.

The two despise each other, bickering day and night. Then one day, Jin-heon hires Sam-soon to pose as his girlfriend, hoping to avoid the blind dates set up for him by his meddlesome mother. Needing the money, Sam-soon agrees to the contract relationship. But eventually, their emotions turn from hatred to affection, and they find themselves thinking about each other. The story line gets more and more interesting as new characters join in, including Jin-heon's ex-girlfriend Hee-jin and Sam-soon's ex-boyfriend."

In the above picture, Sam-soon is the one standing. Jin-heon is the guy sitting with a rose. Jin-heon's ex-gf (Hee-jin) is the one sitting. The other guy is Henry, suitor of Hee-jin. This solo pic is of Jinheon, Samsoon's love interest and partner. He is said to be the handsomest next-generation male star in Korea. I agree! Heheh! Gwapo kaayu ni sya nga pagka-intsik! :P His screen name by the way is Hyun Bin. I thought that Lee Dong Wook was the most gorgeous but when i saw him, I thought i'd changed my mind lol - he looks great in PINK polos. Nyehehe! :P
