 Korean TV Dramas
My Lovely Sam-Soon was the most popular TV drama of 2005, and it's easy to see why, though the series doesn't fully work for me. Kim Seon-A is totally convincing and likable as the title character: a brassy, unglamorous, vulgar young woman with her own mind, but who still feels the tug of social expectations.
For a while, I felt that the genre of Korean dramas had come to be stereotyped and typecast as sappy, romantic, authoritative dramas with each plot made up of repetitive, parallel and analogous storylines.
Eugene, in her drama debut, could be said to have portrayed the role of Da-rae quite well, perhaps because the role seems to be especially written for her.

This is because women are identified according to their relationship to the family’s dominant male.  Thus, a woman in a drama would be introduced as the dominant male’s sister, sister-in-law, mother, aunt, etc., even if the woman who is being introduced was the daughter of another woman being simultaneously introduced in the show.
If you know some other Korean traditions you may understand Korean drama better.  For example, because the number four sounds like the Korean word for death, it is considered to be an unlucky number.

 Twitch - [KOREAN TV DRAMA REVIEWS] 다모 (茶母, Damo)
With the Drama, set in King Sukjong's reign and telling the story of the most famous concubine in Korean history, the show was the first sign the young station was a force to be reckoned with.
Although by no means an Historical Drama (story was fictional), the show took elements of the genre as its background, and wrapped them around strong melodrama, some of the best acting ever seen on Korean TV History, and special effects never seen before in the country.
The 'blockbuster Dramas' were born, thanks to the magic duo of Song Ji-Na and Kim Jong-Hak, and MBC started a slow but inexorable descent to the throne of most popular TV station in the country.

Sam-Soon is like millions of other Korean women, struggling with weight not because she's fat, but because she has to conform to the rules of beauty some facets of Korean society require nowadays.
As a longtime lover of Korean TV Dramas, though, the salad dressing is often the main course for me. As always with really good shows, the supporting characters often outstage the leads.
Korean DVD (the one I have) is full of nice extras (Video Commentaries, TV Specials, NGs, Making Ofs) which will be of little use if you don't speak Korean, and of course it has no English Subtitles on the main feature.
