Synopsis

Also known as Country Princess, this series mainly describes the life of a girl, Lee Eun-hee. She was the illegitimate child of a wealthy businessman's son, who died in an accident. As fate would have it, her mum gave birth to her in a farmer's house and died soon after. The farmer raised Eun-hee and his daughter, Lee Keum-hee, who was borned just a few minutes before her. As the farmer's wife was biased against Eun-hee, she gave her tons of farmwork and hence her studies suffered and she got into lots of trouble at school, whereas Keum-hee's excelled in her studies and was a model student. Just when Keum-hee was supposed to go to Seoul for her university studies, the farmer died in a fire and hence the family lost their breadwinner. Also, as fate would have it, Eun-hee's real grandfather, a wealthy businessman, came to search for her, but for the sake for Keum-hee's future, the farmer's wife lied that Keum-hee is the real granddaughter. The story then develops the life of the 2 sisters, Keum-hee as the granddaughter of a rich man and Yun-hee as a single mother struggling to survive in Seoul. It also highlights strongly Eun-hee's strong will in whatever she do, like ability to save her employer, Suh In-woo, from bankruptcy and ability to handle multiple setbacks in her life, such as having a child born out-of-wedlock and handle the farmer's wife's cancer. The most touching part is the filial peity that Eun-hee showed even when the farmer's wife treated her badly. In a complete contrast, Keum-hee is unfilial and her plots against Eun-hee when she knows that Eun-hee is the real granddaughter.

My Take

You'll love this story if you like complicated soap operas. Very different from the normal love stories of Korean Drama, I quite like the plot as it adds a different dimension to the Kdrama. Unfortunately, I think this drama is not very popular, as I found the VCDs in a shop on the promotion rack. :)

Youtube and OST

I cannot find any because the show and the cast are not very well-known :)

Year Aired: 2003
