i view:

about a year ago, a friend of mine recommended this show saying that it's a good show and that she has a good feeling i'll love it.
well, what can i say?
she's a psychic!
20 episodes and i finished it in two days! :)
i loved it!
it is true that dennis' acting in this show might not be of high level... yet... but i think the totality of the show made up for it.
the ending is a bit hanging and i'm wondering if they'll make a sequel out of it...
i hope they do!
it's just great!

i first saw wu chun through this drama...
i watched this before i started watching hana kimi tw and tokyo juliet...
it had a very strong start...
i mean, i was really attached to this drama...
i would (im)patiently wait for the next episode week by week...
but when i got to the latter part, it got draggy and i started getting bored with it.
this vacation, i told myself to finish it.
well, i'm glad i did.
it was still good.
maybe i was just expecting too much from it and the turn of events weren't fit to my liking...
anyway, i thought this is great, i loved it and that's that.

[drama]



synopsis:

Kim Sam Soon (Kim Sun Ah) is a baker who has a talent in making pastries and cakes. On Christmas Eve, she caught her boyfriend, Min Hyun Woo (Lee Kyu Han), cheating on her and breaks up on the same night. On that same night, she accidentally went into the men's restroom and met Hyun Jin Hun (Hyun Bin), a somewhat callous fellow but sometimes considerate guy. By sheer coincidence, Jin Hun needs a baker for his restaurant Bon Appetit and Sam Soon is unemployed. Sam Soon is hired as the restaurant's chief baker and the two fights like cat and dog. Nevertheless, they started to have feeling for each other and Sam Soon agreed to post as Jin Hun's girlfriend so his mother would leave him alone. Things got complicated when Jin Hun's ex-girlfriend Yoo Hee Jin came back from the States intending to win him back.
