Newest K- Drama to hit TV
‘My Lovely Sam soon’, popular Korean tele-serial, dubbed into Sinhala as ‘Hithata Horen’ will be aired every week day at 7.30 pm on Rupavahini channel.
Produced by MBC in 2005, the serial became popular not only in Korea but also in other countries like Japan.
The drama attracted a massive viewing audience and went on to create a “Sam-soon syndrome”. It won numerous MBC awards in eight categories, including Best Actor and Best Female Actress for Kim Sun-a in her role as Sam-soon, and Best Male Actor for Hyun Bin in his role as Jin-heon.
‘My Lovely Sam soon’ was the top hit miniseries of 2005, featuring Kim Sun-a, Hyun Bin, Daniel Henney, and Jeong Ryeo.
Kim Sam-soon is 29 years old and overweight, and she has an unfashionable name. On Christmas Eve, she spots her boyfriend going into a hotel with another woman.
Instead of dumping him then and there, she falls to her knees and begs him not to leave, but to no avail. She has not only lost her job, but also her boyfriend, both on the same day. She runs into the restroom, which turns out to be the men’s room. Utterly distraught, she encounters Jin-heon who thinks she is a female pervert. They part company on the worst of terms, unaware that their paths will cross again soon.
A Cordon Bleu-trained pastry chef, Sam-soon visits a hotel for a job interview, where she meets Jin-heon again. This time, her hair becomes lodged in his tie pin. Rushed for time and somewhat irritated, Jin-heon grabs a pair of scissors and mercilessly cuts off the offending hair. In revenge, Sam-soon throws the cake she had made for the interview in Jin-heon’s face. He is pleasantly surprised by the taste of the cake and hires her as a pastry chef for his restaurant Bon Appetit.
