And the quartet’s last hurrah of sorts on their apartment rooftop is satisfying. One of the most heartbreaking elements of this drama was when Seul-Hee’s hardworking mother overhears Joo-Man’s bitchy family saying negative things about her daughter, who they don’t believe is good enough for Joo-Man. But, she also realizes what she will and will not tolerate and takes a much-needed stance. When a colleague develops a crush on Joo-Man, Seul-Hee’s insecurity comes to the surface. They keep their relationship secret to keep the office gossip at bay.

She is a customer service rep, who is always doing other people’s work for them and getting none of the credit. He is a salaryman, waiting to get a raise so he can rent a larger apartment and propose to Seul-Hee. Joo-Man and Seul-Hee work together at a homeshopping network. The second couple in this drama has the less splashy but more convincing story line. She says repeatedly that a man’s face matters more than anything else. Even after she catches him cheating on her - and impregnating another woman - she has difficulty reconciling that she no longer has such a handsome beau.

She has a young, pretty and stupid boyfriend, whose lifestyle she funds with her meager salary. But without the funds to travel and get the training that her competitors have, she ends up toiling away as a greeter at a department store. She watches out for him, especially when his emotions are yanked around by the college campus beauty, who returns to him every time she has a breakup.Īe-Ra had dreams of becoming a famous announcer on a major network.

He vows never to compete in taekwondo again. But when Dong-Man sees his little sister sitting in her wheelchair, he hits the mat and stays down. His top rival offers him money to throw the match, pointing out that the funds would pay for his disabled sister’s surgery.

But as one of Korea’s top hopes to win a gold medal in taekwondo at the Olympics, he has a fanbase that includes the most popular girl in school.ĭong-Man’s downfall occurs as he is about to qualify for Korea’s National Team. Such is the case here, where four friends grow up with each other and, eventually, end up falling in (and out of) love.ĭon’t scream at me about spoiling the plot, because there is no way anyone can watch the first episode and not see what will happen by the finale.ĭong-Man was a bit of a country bumpkin in high school. One of the things I enjoy about Korean dramas is that many - such as the superb “ Answer Me” series - tend to focus of the main characters’ childhood friendships and how that camaraderie evolves into their adulthood. ↑ Note: Korean names denote the surname followed by the given name.
