Synopsis
Yuh Bong Soon, a village girl, was enjoying her life in the mountains until her foster grandmother passed away. She came to the city to look for her parents and met Nam Bong Gi's Dad who pitied her (because she was pickpocketed) and allowed her to stay in his house. Nam Bong Gi's family were all working in the Presidential Residence, hence she managed to get a job as an assistant cook in there. This show then goes on to highlight the various relationships of the staff in the Presidential Residence, with special focus on Yuh Bong Soon, of course. She falls for Jang Joon-Won, the President's son, a doctor, who is married and his wife is suffering from dementia and has a five year old daughter. As Bong-Soon finds herself falling in love with Joon-Won, we also find a love triangle building up, when Bong-Ki, the President's family's bodyguard, starts to fall for Bong-Soon.
My Take
I like the show. My sister doesn't like the ending though, although I think otherwise. I admire the various sacrifices Nam Bong Ki did for Bong Soon, and could n0t resist the part when Bong Ki told Bong Soon "I love you" in different languages.
