Oh Dae
San (Kwon Sang Woo) sells clothes at a market, and dreams of turning his little
store in to a big clothing line. He is smart and talkative which helps him when
he need to butter up to customers and other salespeople. When a fellow store
keeper, from the same market, falls ill, the daughter Seo Yoo Jin (Yoona) of
the store keeper returns from Paris, only to have him pass away shortly. Due to
the financial issues, and partly to blame for the financial issues, Dae San
decides to help Yoo Jin and her mother get on their feet again. This leads Yoo
Jin and Dae San to become close.
At the
same time Dae San meets Lee Joon Hee (Kwon Sang Woo), a rich chaebol of a
fashion empire, who looks exactly alike him. Joon Hee asks Dae San to
impersonate him for a week, so he can leave the business without having to
worry about his competitor and cousin Lee Jae Min taking his place.
Due to
his natural ability to do business, Dae San becomes a bother to Jae Min. And
when Jae Min befriends Yoo Jin, the empire doesn’t become the only thing they
each fight for…
This
drama was one of those I downloaded ages ago, but never really got around to
watch. Besides it being almost 10 years old, I gotta say it’s alright. Though I
felt it was very cliché and had the unnecessary jealousy. I mean most of the
dramas that are like this one, are so male dominant. The lead actress only
serves as the love interest for the two male characters, and to be honest both
are boring love stories. And the fact
that it was Yoona, didn’t make the character better. The casting was also
mediocre, mainly because the characters were 2 dimensional - even the male lead
who did try but failed.
Besides that,
I kind of enjoyed the storyline, though it was very cliché. I do like a badass
revenge plot, but it must be well crafted - and this one is alright.
So, all
in all an alright drama, to watch because of the story and not romance.
