My Name is Kim Sam Soon (2005) - never thought I would still watch this drama, 5 years earlier than Secret Garden and I find the outfits so crazy and funny including the hairstyles, but it's a fun and somewhat realistic story especially the emotional parts of the drama.

Although the male lead is a chaebol, what I like is that they did not limit the flow of emotions, both with the lead characters and also the side characters. Want to applaud Sun-ah for playing Sam Soon and embracing her role that I could really see her flaws specifically in the physical aspect. I find her awkward with a slim body, though she is really originally a thin actress. She gained weight for this drama, and that is a committed actress.
