Synopsis:
This is a modern interpretation of The Legend of Chun-Hyang, a Korean folklore about the love of Chun-Hyang and Mong-Ryong. This story starts with the misunderstanding of the mischievious Lee Mong-Ryong who always gets into trouble and top student Seong Chun-Hyang. They constantly quarrel with each other especially when Mong-Ryong is tranferred to Chun-Hyang's school. Mong-Ryong's father, believing that Chun-Hyang is capable of turning his son into a mature and responsible man, requests Chun-Hyang to marry his son with the condition that he'll pay for her education. Chun-Hyang agrees as she also has feelings for Mong-Ryong though she needs the financial aid badly. Unfortunately, being a naive guy, Mong-Ryong does not realise her affections for him and continues to pursue his first love, Chae-Rin. Meanwhile, Chun-Hyang attracts the attention of the CEO of an entertainment company, Byeon Hak-Do.

PhoEnix's Comments:
Very funny and warm. Both Han Chae-Young and Jae Hee makes a wonderful couple. Honestly, I don't know anything about the folklore when I first watched it but it didn't impact my enjoyment for this drama. It is like finding a breath of fresh air after being choked with the soppy Korean love dramas.

PhoEnix's Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
