About This DVD
She's 29 years old, single, and overweight. She doesn't have a college degree, a
boyfriend, or a job. She's outspoken, obstinate, and fed up with society's
expectations of her. Her name is Kim Sam-Soon, and she's Korea's unlikely
sweetheart!
Thanks to its everywoman protagonist, My Lovely Sam-Soon (a.k.a. My Name is Kim
Sam-Soon) has been billed as Korea's answer to Bridget Jones. Kim Sam-Soon (Kim
Sun A, who gained 15 pounds for the role) is a Cordon Bleu-trained pastry chef
who doesn't conform to the stereotype of the typical K-Drama Cinderella.
Sam-Soon won't let men push her around, will eat and sleep her way out of a
depression, and could care less how other people see her.
When Sam-Soon loses her job on Christmas Eve, her problems are just beginning.
She spots her boyfriend going into a hotel with another woman. At first she
wants to charge right in there and confront him, but instead decides to wait for
him to come out. She plans on dumping him in front of everybody, but when he
finally does materialize, Sam-Soon breaks down and begs him not to leave her for
the other woman.
Realizing she has made a fool of herself in public she runs to the bathroom, but
accidentally goes into the men's room. Hyun Jin-Hun (Hyun Bin), on a blind date
he has no desire to go through with, walks in on Sam-Soon, embarrassing her even
more! But Jin-Hun turns out to be Sam-Soon's future employer - in more ways than
one. He's a rich restaurant owner who hires Sam-Soon, not only to be a chef, but
also to be his pretend girlfriend! So begins a series of surprising and touching
events that would try the emotions of any normal woman. But this is no normal
woman - this is Kim Sam-Soon!
When My Lovely Sam-Soon first aired, audiences immediately identified with Kim
Sam-Soon's stereotype-breaking character. With her foul mouth and "unladylike"
behavior, Sam-Soon challenges traditional ideas of what Korean women are like,
by providing a glimpse of what a Korean woman is really like! Audiences
responded by making My Lovely Sam-Soon the most watched K-Drama of the year,
with a viewership rate of over 40 percent. Alternately hilarious, heartwarming,
and heartbreaking, My Lovely Sam-Soon - and Kim Sam-Soon herself - will win you
over!
Discover the most talked-about K-Drama of the year with this newest edition of
My Lovely Sam Soon, which comes complete with English Subtitles prepared
especially for Western audiences!
