My Name is Kim Sam Soon - Hyun Bin and Kim Sun Ah

Hyun Bin - Hyun Jin Hun

Kim Sun Ah - Kim Sam Soon

Jeong Ryeo Won - Yoo Hee Jin

Daniel Henney - Henry Kim

Kim Sam Soon could be the one of the class of girls whom you'll say ugly. In this contemporaty world, having a little bit of fat could be considered ugly. And that's Kim Sam Soon.

After she was dumped by her boyfriend for three years on Christmas Eve, Sam Soon gained more pounds because her habit of eating could also come with depression. Plus, she was fired from her work as a Pastry Chef.

Wanting to pursue her dream of being the best pastry chef and wanting to do something to make her forget about her boyfriend Min Hyun Woo, Sam Soon ran onto a business manager who knew nothing but to yell and be stubborn. His name's Hyun Jin Hun. He was the heir of the Seoul hotel at the same time, managing a small restaurant which was just left by the pastry chef. Having no choice and having stumbled upon Sam Soon, Jin Hun hired her to be the pastry chef for the restaurant and at the same time, be his girlfriend.

They were already having a good time pretending to Jin Hun's mom that they do have a relationship and Sam Soon started to fall for Jin Hun when Yoo Hee Jin, Jin Hun's ex-girlfriend came back from the United States after receiving treatment for her cancer, and wnt back with Jin Hun.

However, Jin Hun may still have love left for Hee Jin but he was becoming more confused as he sees Sam Soon with another guy and feeling jealous about it. Soon, he finally came to realize that he indeed was falling for the fat pastry chef.

And so he broke up with Hee Jin and tried to pursue his relationship with her amidst his mom's disagreement. And despite all the hardships they went through, they still went out and fought for their love.

This is the only Korean series I've seen in where I was deeply amazed by the chemistry and sweetness of the characters. Even if it's on-screen, they do look like a real couple for having portrayed such wonderful roles! My Name is Kim Sam Soon was the only series in where they give meaning to being a true woman and true love. Love doesn't only require physical appearance rather it requires all aspects in life, especially trust and faith.

5 stars for this hilarious series! =]
