The first episode was very funny. It looks like a Korean "Overboard" the 1980's movie with Kurt Russell & Goldie Hawn. Same premise. Han Ye Seul who plays Anna was in the one where she was really fat and makes herself beautiful to get back at her husband.

[mara]

Yes, enjoyable, I laughed a lot....
I thought I recognized her. I like Oh JiHo - I know him from Thank You Life one of the first weekend dramas I saw on WMBC.

[mara]

This is a nice change from blood and fighting...lol....I laughed all day yesterday remembering the episode 1 transfer of cat and dog on the edge of the water. Episode 2 cute also....

[dodgerman]

Finished the first week---very funny. Goldie is hysterical and the secretary Mr Bong is funny. I dont get the flower girl--what is her role???

[mara]

Yes, I agree....Goldie? Anna?
The flower girl - first love of the plumber - seems to be having problems with her fiance - maybe they'll get back together....love triangle?

[dodgerman]

I used "Goldie" for Anna since Goldie Hawn played that role in the movie Overboard that this how is based on

Just read a summary of Overboard, sounds very similar, got it....thanks...

Episode 6---when Anna runs into CrazyGirl, she still had the black bean sauce all over her mouth. Also, for a poor family living in a crummy house, there was a really nice. big Persian rug on the floor. Maybe they are cheaper in Korea

[mara]

I really like this one - it's so good to laugh and not have to see blood and fighting for a change - also a plot easy to understand...lol...my mind is going, you know....;-)

Plus I think Oh JiHo is very good looking!

I don't think that rug looks that great - it could be just sort of a mat rug, not really an Oriental....at least imho....

[dodgerman]

If the guy really wanted to find out Anna's identity, he should have gone back to the pet store where he sold Princess and found out who bought her. Also, when Anna asks him how he saw the mole on her chest why didnt he just say the truth, that he saw her on the yacht in a bikini? Sometimes, he can be a real creep and other times he is nice to her

[mara]

True, dodgerman, but for me his good looks make up for everything. ;-)
Didn't Billy buy the cat back - I don't recall seeing him use a credit card, just handed the store owner a bunch of cash....
I guess he was embarrassed to mention seeing Anna in the bikini....since she is so covered up all the time now...lol...

[dodgerman]

I wonder if Anna ran track when she went to HS and college in LA. She can really fly!!!

[mara]

Yes, she's fast.

This is over Tuesday, I'll update the future drama post over the weekend - will add number of episodes as well as availability for Hong Sisters dramas and others....

I am hoping that Anna stays with ChulSoo.... She can bring some of her money with her and build the family a nicer house and let Billy marry Flower Girl....

Last episode tonight....do you want to watch another Hong Sisters, dodgerman? Check out the Future Dramas thread - if we want to watch from older to newer then My Girl on DF would be next....Kong HyoJin, from Jealousy Incarnate, is not in that one, she's in The Greatest Love and Master's Sun of Hong Sisters....
