[SERIES] IT'S OKAY, DADDY'S GIRL; Be Tough


Eun Ki Hwa had three children, Eun Ae-Ryung, Chae Ryung and Ho Ryung. Ae Ryung was a lecturer, Chae Ryung (Moon Chae Won) was childish and daddy's girl, Ho Ryung depended on his father. Park Jong Suk liked Chae Ryung but Chae Ryung didn't like him so Jong Suk planned to kidnap Chae Ryung. He asked Duk Ki to do it but the plan was ruined. Jong Suk unintentionally killed Duk Ki and took the blame on Eun Ki Hwa.

Due to the stress, Ki Hwa suffered from cerebral hemorrhage and his family collapsed. Ae Ryung must marry a womanizer yet rich guy, Jin Goo in order to pay her father's hospital billing. Chae Ryung must grow up and start to look for a job. Then she met Choi Hyuk Ki (Choi Jin Hyuk), Duk Ki's brother. Both of them tried to prove Ki Hwa's innocence.


This series is quite short for family drama (which is usually over 50 eps). It's only 17 episodes and it looks too rush. There are parts that can be improved more and deeper. Just like Jin Goo's secret. Too soon to be revealed and concluded. :p Overall, it's still have moral to learn. We must be independent and tough. Through hardship and all circumstances, we can't give up.

[SERIES] OH MY VENUS; Love Your Weight


Kang Joo Eun (Shin Min Ah) was a 33-year-old lawyer. She was overweight and unattractive. She used to be called Venus of Daegu when she was at high school because of her beauty. She had a boyfriend since then, Im Woo Shik. Because of the stress of her work, she didn't realize that her weight got heavier. At the time she thought that she would be proposed, she got dumped instead. After a long relationship, she must end her dream to marry her boyfriend. She decided to exercise in order to lose her weight.

Joo Eun asked help from Kim Young Ho (So Ji Sub), a personal trainer for Hollywood stars. She didn't know that Young Ho actually was from a wealthy family. He was pointed to be the next president of the family company but he chose to live his own life. He suffered an injury when he was a kid and got operated but the after-effect still remained. He didn't want to show his weakness to anyone. 

Young Ho trained Joo Eun to lose her weight so she could be Venus of Daegu again. During the training, love blossomed between both of them.


Another drama about being pretty outside is more important. Good looking can attract the opposite sex but it's not the only way to get love. One thing that I love from this drama is Young Ho loves Joo Eun even when she's a fatty. Though he helps her to lose her weight, he still accepts her when she gains weight again.

[SERIES] BIRTH OF BEAUTY; A Beauty Transformation

She used to be known as Sa Geum Ran, a housewife. She loved her husband but didn't know that her husband married her just because of her land. He had an affair with his co-worker in TV station. When she knew the truth, she had a car accident and reported died. In order to avenge her husband and his mistress, she asked Han Tae Hee (Joo Sang Wook) to do plastic surgery, a total transformation.
