Me llamo Kim Sam Soon

I watched it again today. I last saw it way back 2009 when It was translated to tagalog. I loved the chemistry between the two and for some reasons my heart hurts and flutter when they have romantic scenes or they are fighting. This is one of the classic romantic comedy that should be in your list if you are only beginning to watch a Kdrama.

Dear All,

My friends always asked me : "Why do you so like the drama "My Lovely Kam Samsoon" the most ?

A 30 yrs. woman parted with her boyfriend, lost the job & a series unfortunate can be found in her. Who is she ? She's Kam Samsoon, a fat & looks not pretty woman, what's going on of her ? Did she shocked her mind in addition, be retreated ? Absolutely, not, she faced to the hard time and sick of the tick, hate of the bully.

When she met Jin Heon and begins a new Chapter, He's a cool man and has a kind-hearted and a handsome, rich young gentleman. They've different background, however they're going together as Samsoon is a natural and frank girl. Samsoon has an optimist and so brave to face her true love regardless success or not. If I've the same situation, I may be to give up and choice to escape so that why I'm so constant to support this drama.

In the meantime, women always to face the high-pressure that come from job, family, marriage, especially for the single women. Not only in Korea, there is the same problem in Hong Kong and make us can't to bear it. In the drama, Samsoon always to join the marriage date and to face the harsh partner as she want to find the true love, actually in Korea it's the true life and that's why that drama is so popular in Korea and in Asia. If a woman over 30 yrs. is still single may be discriminated by the people in Asia. Oh ! That's so unfair to the women.

How a wonderful drama that make me so unforgettable and many circumstances are still in my mind and Samsoon teaches me to face the challenge and "just to do what you want" as time is not waiting for a man. So excited to watch that splendid drama, it always make me smile, cries, and feel aches. As the story required, SUNA needs to increase weight for a short time, actually she had increase 8 kg. during the filming period that makes her not well after which she also needs to loss weight. Oh ! What a professional actress !!

When I feel free, I'll to watch the DVD repeatedly to share the fun and the upset time. Be honest to myself, be trust for my ability, be frank to your relatives and face to the true love that all of this I learn from Samsoon. Be good done for our protagonist in our life.

May I to say that KIM SUNA is the best actress in Korea, her performance not only outstanding and she has a strong character that make me always feel that " My Lovely Kam Samsoon" is not a drama, it's the true life, in addition, she's a sexy girl, full of attractive and charming young lady. Don't ask me why I'm so constant to support & love her, as that no reason (maybe she has a very powerful voice that appeal to me, Haha...).

I like the most articles, namely :-

Love ... like love has never disappointed you, Work ... like you don't need any money, Dance ... like no one is watching you, Sing ... like no one is listening to you, live ... like you are in paradise

Today is a one yr. anniversary for SAMSOON, I want to say that "Happy Birthday to SUNA, Hyunbin & all their fans". It's a time for us to review the unforgettable memories, as so many circumstances always in my mind. I know Suna is ready to film a new movie, she plays as a solicitor & I look forward to watch it. Hopefully, it'll be broadcast in H.K., moreover, I'd like to wish Suna has a good health, prosperity & success in her future endeavors.

Best Regards, Yummy

Although an oldie, my name is sam soon is a goodie.

The story is simple and you know where it is heading. Sure, there were some cliches, that, fortunately, didn't take over the drama, thus, the story was more upbeat and fresh.

The comedy part, however, was the main star of the drama. The two characters, although they didn't overflow chemistry as a couple, were great as the two opposites that kept colliding.

In addition, a big part of the main drama was good, as it was closer to a slice of life than the romantic comedy genre.

Finally, the performances were really good.

So, overall, seven out of ten.

How do you know if the series is doing well? For "My Lovely Samsoon", critics did not have to look far with the increase of inquiries on pastry-chefs, bakeries finding themselves running out of stock exponentially faster and even bookstores selling the German children's book "MOMO" caught off guard. When the locations of filming also because guided tour-sites, there was little left to wonder.

Such was the craze that swept South Korea and eventually many other Southeast Asian countries with the release of this koreanovella.

I was not a fan prior to watching "My lovely Samsoon". In fact, I was quite the skeptic. Knowing how Asia's film/series industry cater to unrealistic love stories I was actually getting ready to thrash this series to pieces.

Yet it was such a wonderful surprise as I finished the 16 episodes and now re-watching every single one for the umpteenth times! I don't want to bore you with big words and exaggerations.

Realistic dialogs, direct yet layered storytelling and cinematography, superb acting are only some of the delightful quirks and twists one will find this series.

I don't understand a word of Korean but it didn't matter.

Enjoy! ;-)

For 2005, this hit show was quite forward and groundbreaking. The heroine is plump and sex is dealt with frankly, no waiting for ep 15 for a kiss. Sometimes the physical comedy is repetitive like the slapping and hitting. The saving grace is the humor is spontaneous and original. Great performances by Kim Sun Ah who put on weight for the role and a young Hyun Bin. The secondary lead actress is good too - Jung Ryeo Won. Daniel Henney is funny just by grinning. The ex boyfriend cheater is hilarious.

Worth watching and still ok by 2023 standards maybe a bit chauvinistic but that's how all the shows were then.
