The Man in the Vineyard - Oh Man Seuk and Yoon Eun Hye

Oh Man Seuk - Jang Taek Gi

Yoon Eun Hye - Lee Ji Hyun

Can a city girl fall in love witha farmer? Can someone who dreamed of becoming rich choose to live a simple life?

Well The Man in the vineyard will definitely answer your question. Impossible indeed but this could happen in real life.

Lee Ji Hyun was a fashion designer working on a very popular clothing line. She dreamed to have clothes branded by her name yet she didn't have the money to do so.

Being very optimistic about getting rich, she did her best to make beutiful designs to impress her boss. Unluckily, her boss was the one who took everything away from her as she stole Ji Hyun's newly designed clothes and admitted it as her own.

Having no work, Ji Hyun still didn't stop dreaming about becoming a famous designer until her grandfather came to Seoul and asked her to work in his vineyard for a year before letting her inherit the land.

Knowing what life she may have in the countryside, Ji Hyun refused her grandfather's offer but thinking about the future use of the Vineyard, she was forced to leave her city life and live in the countryside as a farmer. There, she met another farmer whom she already met in Seoul because of some embarrassing circumstances.

Jang Taek Gi was a very kindhearted but hot-headed farmer. He worked at Ji Hyun's grandpa's Vineyard since he was 7 years old. He was assigned to teach Ji Hyun farming but unfortunately, they never got along well ever since they met.

Taek Gi always made sure that Ji Hyun will have a hard time working in the Vineyard. Being a city girl, she was always reluctant in doing hardwork. But since her mom wanted her to inherit the Vineyard, she saccrificed everything just to impress her grandfather.

Together with Taek Gi, Ji Hyun learned how to grow good grapes, learned how to drive a tractor, learned how to flirt with a hot doctor who happened to be his college friend, learned how to spray insecticides, learned how to take a shower outside the house, and also learned how to LOVE.

As Ji Hyun spent her life in the vineyard as a farmer, she didn't realize that she was already falling for the simple farmer whom she despised so much at first sight. Although Ji Hyun already had a boyfriend, she still can't help noticing Taek Gi especially the things he has done to her.

Taek Gi was never Ji Hyun's type. Aside from only being a farmer, Taek Gi wasn't really good looking unlike her boyfriend who's got the looks and money at the same time.

But as unbelievable as it could be, Ji Hyun and Taek Gi slowly fell for each other despite all their arguments and grudge with each other. They both learned how to help each other and even how to show care for each other.

Indeed, Ji Hyun finally realized that it isn't money that she needed. It is someone to spend her life with, someone who loves her not because she's a city girl but because she's herself, she's Lee Ji Hyun, the girl who worked hard and cried simply seeing the result of her hardwork.

On the other hand, Taek Gi realized that a nice girl wasn't what he needed, but someone who will understand him despite his hot temper and one who will try her best to learn even the hardest things in life.

Love indeed moves in mysterious ways and you've got to experience it first before finally telling yourself that you are in love. Sometimes fate may bring the future to you and sometimes your own choice may also lead you to happiness. Had not Ji Hyun followed her heart, she might not be happy with the doctor whom she thought she liked.

Realizing that love is just right under your nose is sometimes unbelievable because we tend to think of the future first rather than the present when you could be happiest.

Five stars for this series! :D
