Here's another successful 2006 Korean Drama aired on ABS-CBN... My Girl. Personally, I rewatch this several times because of Lee Dong Wook :) Because of this drama, Lee Dong Wook and Lee Da Hae rose their stardom! This drama has 16 episodes. As expected, every episode rated with a two-digit.
Plot: Contract marriage? The couple won’t live in the same room. In the end, they actually will anyway. Contract dating? Why be shy when you’re going to date anyways? What? Contract siblings? That is quite something if you ask me. However, there is one bizarre contract between two couples. Her major is creative writing (overflowing with lies), double majoring in acting (nice looking face with exceptional acting skills), minor major in broadcast entertainment (wonderful showmanship with quick agility of wit). Joo Yu-rin (Lee Da-hae) has an imprudent European attitude with full capability to do anything along with her good looks. There’s also Seol Gong-chan (Lee Dong Wook), a mighty fortunate man, who could handle any business of his own that he wants. There cannot be a more fatal chance of meeting than the one they have; nonetheless they get to make a “contract sibling” agreement perhaps by their will or not. However, the two must join forces to go through the hardship that they must face… There’s another couple that get involved. Jung-woo (Lee Joon-gi) who is a free-loving person, and Gong-chan’s past sweetheart, Se-hyun (Park Si-hyeon), a famous Korean tennis star. Jung-woo gets quite frustrated by Yu-rin who keeps escaping from him, and Se-hyun keeps thinking of her past sweetheart, Gong-chan and can’t seem to let him go. Despite the small fights, the loving feelings that suddenly arise between Gong-chan and Yu-rin, and Jung-woo and Se-hyun’s love for them. What would happen between these four? (Source: asianwiki.com)
What attracts me the most to this drama are: 1. romance-comedy; 2. light-drama; 3. quirky-banters; 4. fast-paced story. I can clearly remember one of the episodes when Joo Yoo-rin and Seol Gong-chan went to Namsan tower and Joo Yoo-rin came up with the story about the laser beam. Hahaha!!! But dont't forget our second-lead actors, Jung-woo and Se-hyun. Of course, as second lead, Jung-woo was Yoo-rin's shoulder-to-cry-on friend whose unfortunately was inlove with her. On the other hand, Se-hyun was trying to win "again" Gong-chan's heart. Lee Da-hae's character was so quirky, silly and charming that it made Lee Dong Wook's character falls for her.
There's also a Philippine adaptation of this drama played by Kim Chui (Jasmine), Gerald Anderson (Julian), Enchong Dee (Nico) and Niña Jose (Anika). It was aired last 2008.
Overall, if this drama will be included on Netflix, I will DEFINITELY re-watch this over and over again!
