My Name is Kim Sam Soon

This Drama is about a girl named Kim Sam Soon who hates her name. She is a baker, and her boyfriend breaks up with her one day. She gets a job at a resturant called Bon Apetit (really original) and she makes a contract to pretent to be the preident's boyfriend if she can have the 50 million won that can save her home from being taken. As you can imagine, they fall in love. The president, Hyun Jin Hun, is very funny. There is something about his eyes which just make you want to laugh sometimes, he is sneaky and playful. At the same time he is demanding, and a little violent. He has a back story like characters have to have in these dramas, and it is a depressing sob story. They fought alot, which was entertaining. I liked the story, but I was really annoyed that Kim Sam Soon always had to give in to him, and that he was just so insensitive to her at times. The food in it made me hungry :(

There was this "other woman" in this drama who just got into everything. I'm not going to say that I hated her but she was selfish and annoying in a way that wasnt direct. She apparently left him for an important reason (idk if I should give it away) when she came back she just expected eveything to be normal after leaving for years and not talking to him. She brought with her this guy from the USA who spoke english, and I have to say listening seak english was hilarious, mostly because they empasised words at the wrong time, and spoke slowly and in a way that was just not american in any way and more korean than anything. There was a quote having to do with her that said "memorys dont have any strength, but they never do away."

Hyun Jin Hun had a niece named...I think its something like ma joon? and the little girl was adorable, and smiled all the time, though she never spoke. I was so excited to see her speak, for the last few eposodes i paid really close attention. Usually in Dramas there is just a heart wrenching moment when these things do happen, but I didnt think that when ma joon spoke they picked the right time or the right words. I loved her relationship with everyone though, so cute.

Kim Sam Soon was a better character in the begining when she didnt take any crap from anyone, just saying. I loved when he father showed up and they talked, he was dead but still.

It was entertaining, but if I'm putting it on a scale from hate to personal taste, it was probably closer to nuetral. I admit though, I loved Kim Sam Soon's mother to death, she was hilarious, protective, and just plain loveable no matter what she said or what she was doing. I didnt like that the movie stressed Kim Sam Soon as being old or fat, because she was only chubby in asian standards and she only looked old by asian standards, which means she was neither.
