Synopsis
The drama opens with the 30-year-old Kim Sam Soon that was jilted by her boyfriend on Christmas eve. She is a French Pastry Patisser, out of job and out of love. Out of coincidence, she met the owner of a restaurant called Bon Appettit, Hyun Jin Heon, who was desparately looking for a replacement of a patisser for his restaurant. JH interviewed and accepted her into the restaurant. In a twist of fate, JH and SS entered into a contractual BGR because JH wants to fend off his mother's persistent arrangement of matchmaking, and SS needs $ to redeem her house from debtors. SS began to fall in love with JH but unfortunately, the arrival of JH's ex-gf, Yoo Hee Jin and the relevance of her departure was due to Advance Gastric Cancer (I think so) caused JH to return to Hee Jin. However, JH realised that he actually loves SS, and the rest is history.
Character Analysis
Kim Sam Soon by Kim Sun Ah :
A 30-year-old chubby (I wouldn't use fat) lady, who is very clear-headed about her feelings. She frequently conducts funny conversations with herself. Her conversations with her dead father are pretty enlightening.
Hyun Jin Hyeon by Hyun Bin :
A 27-year-old handsome guy, who is pretty muddle-headed about his feelings. Although rich, he takes cab instead of drives because he once caused the death of his brother and sis-in-law, ans that has plagued him. He only started driving after he revealed his sadness to Sam Soon in Cheju Island.
Yoo Hee Jin by Jung Ryu Won :
She still loves Jin Hyeon despite 3 years in US for treatment. She left without a word and reason because JH just had the accident, and she did not want to give him further worries.
Dr Henry Kim by Daniel Henny :
He is the handsome Korean-US doctor of HJ, who loved her secretly. He only revealed his feelings towards end of the show

Additional comments
This is my favourite drama which I can watch over and over again without feeling tired of it. I even bought the VCDs. My favourite episodes are Ep 11 and 13. Because of this drama, I began to take note of Hyun Bin, especially the rumours that Hyun Bin and Kim Sun Ah are dating. Although I would like that to happen, personally I feel it is quite unlikely because the age gap is pretty big. (HB is 23 and KSA is 30)
