About the Drama

Lee Yo Won stars as Na In Jung who struggles with her love between the rather cold and rebellious pop culture artist Kang Yong Ki (Kwon Sang Woo ) and a successful businessman, Lee Soo Hwan (Kim Sung Soo). She used to be a beautiful and graceful cellist and had staked her everything on her first love, Soo Hwan. She loves him even though she knows he is married but he coldheartedly breaks up with her. She does her best to get over him, believing that her suffering is a punishment for stealing another woman's husband. She ended up in a small village selling fried chicken after her mother died and her father was seriously wounded in a car accident the night she suffered a miscarriage when Soo Hwan left her.

5 years later In Jung met Yong Ki when he came to the small village. Yong Ki's first love, Jo Ann had commited suicide as his father objected to their relationship and he still carries the wound that he suffered from their relationship and her death. He is an illegitimate son of a conglomerate owner and has never received love as a child. His half sister is Joo Ran who is married to Soo Hwan. Yong Ki meets In Jung and after much bickering falls for her confident personality but their relationship is hampered by In Jung's first love, Soo Hwan. Believing that his unhappiness is due to his kind heart, Yong Ki decides to protect his love by all means.

Soo Hwan had an affair with In Jung 5 years ago but he only had ambition for the CEO position of Yong Ki's father's company. He is now a successful businessman but he discovers that his ambition and successes do not fill the emptiness that he has inside his heart and realizes that In Jung is the one that he needs and truely loves. But In Jung and Yong Ki have already fallen in love with each other. Will In Jung go back to her first love or stay with Yong Ki?

Comments:

I was drawn to the drama because of actress Lee Yo Won as i really like her acting in "Surgeon Bong Dal Hee" and have been looking forward to her next drama. So without thinking I just went ahead and bought the drama...

OMG please! How pathetic can life be for In Jung? (I am now talking about the character in the drama...sigh...) What can be worst then living in misery like her? If you are looking for a romantic or a chick flick, please don't watch this show...You will definitely cry your eyes out...I can not imagine anything worst or sadder then being in her shoes....

Fact is I being a woman totally do not agree with her being a third party...but I can't help being sorry for her. She could have done better then suffering through what she had gone through. This drama showed all the worst things that could have happened to a mistress.

How can she be in any dilemma at all? Third party? No no!

Woman...could have been smarter....
