I thought it was another of those cliche stories about a rich girl clashing with a poor guy. I was wrong. The plot was waaaaaaayyyyy better than that.
Given that kind of reaction, you would assume that I loved this drama. I did. SO MUCH!
I actually checked out this drama because of Ji Hyun Woo, the actor that I loved from another KBS drama THE TAMING OF THE HEIR/THE INVICIBLE LEE PYUNG KANG. And I loved him again in this drama. So this time he's a poor guy but with a rich background unlike in his previous drama wherein he's a rich guy. BUt the thing that didn't change was his haughtiness. Oh well, it suits him anyway.
So it basically revolves around Ji Hyun Woo's character Choi Seokbong to search for his billionaire father. Yes, his father is a billionaire. He just didn't know who he was yet. Thanks for a very strange one-night stand encounter of his mother with this billionaire. The only proof he had with him was the one-of-a-kind necklace his father gave his mother before they parted ways. They were supposed to contact eachother, but some circumstances prevented them to do so. That's life in a drama.
Along the way of finding his father, he clashes with corporate heiress Lee Shinmi. The most unlikely rich woman you'll ever meet. She's got the smarts and all, but she's the thriftiest rich woman you'll ever meet. She and Choi Seokbong makes their life miserable for each other. But in the end they end up for each other. That's another typical plot in this story. But that's okay. They made me giggle anyway. Loved them as a couple!
Other colorful characters in this drama who I learned to love also were Bu Taehui and Chu Wunseok. Bu Taehui is a typical rich spoiled brat girl. She has nothing on her head than money. She is actually an airhead. LOL. She actually acknowledges that. But her character develops on the latter part of the story. She is actually a woman with a lot of heart too. It isn't that obvious at first. Hihi. Chu Wunseok is the apple of Taehui's eye. He is the perfect bachelor with looks and all. But he is your typical guy who would do anything just to achieve greatness in the corporate world. In the end he learns a lesson. He learns to love truthfully. That made me like him in the end too.
The twist and turns in this story made me hang on my seat. That's why I love Kdramas so much. They turn a typical story to something more interesting than that. I hope dramas in my country develops into something like this (or better) in the future. I'm starting to see some good ones nowadays. I'm hoping for the best for our local industry.
What made me happy also about this drama is that I was able to go to one location where they shot a fun scene between the four main characters. LOTTE WORLD! My first visit was not good at all with the rain and scnow. My second visit there was better. I go to see where they shot the scenes I saw in the drama. I was also amused to see a video showing those scenes being played repeatedly on all waiting areas for all the rides. NICE!
I also love the songs! They have all kinds of songs for this drama and there's also some trot songs. I recommend the soundtrack of this drama! (^_^)
I'm rambling again. One thig is for sure. I love this drama! Thanks again to KBS!
