We have finally come full circle. This is the last genre that I will be reviewing and I’ve saved the best for last. Romance Comedies or rom-coms were what started me on this wonderful journey called kdramas. I started with Boys Over Flowers, which I believe most of us have started with.  I won’t review it though because honestly, EVERYONE reviews it, right? Instead I will highlight some of my favorite rom-coms that I’ve enjoyed so far. Now my list is by no means the best rom – coms around. These are just the ones that I’ve seen and enjoyed.

I remember starting My Name Is Kim Sam-Soon the day after my husband left on a business trip. I figured by the time I was done with watching the entire show, he’d be back (he was supposed to be gone a few weeks). Imagine my surprise when 2 days later, I was watching the last episode. Yes it was that good. Kim Sun-Ah is my favorite actress to this day and Clazziquai’s “She Is”, which was used in the drama, is my permanent ring tone. I’ve watched this drama multiple times and I wish they made more of this type of drama. Kim Sam Soon is a 30 year old, out of work, pastry chef. She meets Hyun Jin Heon (played by Hyun Bin) and agrees to become the desert chef at his restaurant.  Jin Heon’s mother wants him to go on blind dates and settle down (something he doesn’t want to do for reasons you’ll see in the drama) so he gets Sam Soon to be his pretend girlfriend in exchange for 50 million won (the price of her mother’s house). She agrees even though she doesn’t like him at all and the two slowly start to like each other. Of course in true kdrama fashion, there are outside forces that keep the two from getting together for a while. Sam Soon has an ex boyfriend who is marrying one of her class mates BUT still wants to “get it on” with Sam Soon (what a jerk!). Also Jin Heon has a girlfriend, Yoo Hae Jin that left him but comes back after a few years. Her doctor, played by Daniel Henney (fan girl scream!) comes after her because he has fallen in love with her. All the lovey-dovey (shout out to T-ara, lol) gets sorted out but what a roller coaster of emotions!
