My Name is Kim Sam Soon is an immensely popular South Korean drama television program which first aired in 2005. The series was also successful internationally and is considered part of the Korean Wave. The 16 episodes follow the ups and downs of Kim Sam Soon (played by Kim Sun Ah), a young single girl in her late 20s who loves to bake and hopes to have her own shop, but feels thwarted in her ambitions by her old-fashioned name and her less-than-perfect figure. Her baking job at a prestigious French restaurant involves tolerating her intolerable boss, Hyun Jin-Heon (Hyun Bin), but when Kim Sam Soon needs a bit of money she agrees to pose as his girlfriend for a month. The two, through many challenges and obstacles, develop a true feeling for each other.

A.K.A. My Lovely Samsoon 1. Meaning of Her Name Although Korean consists of a different grammar and alphabet (and therefore sound) from Chinese, 50% of its vocabulary words have a Chinese derivation. In Korean, each Chinese character is assigned one or two native syllables and used interchangably ('hanja' in Korean, 'kanji' in Japanese). Sam-Soon is a name that has Chinese derivations, a traditional name. Modern names like 'Hee-Jin' sound feminine and are not derived from Chinese characters. ... read more

I loved it! She is soo funny, I love her character, so real. He is soo FINE, one of my fav korean actors for the looks at the moment!
well, Kim Seon-ah is 7 years older than Hyun Bin (in reality, he was like 23 when he acted in this drama while she was nearly 30 or something or thereabout)..
well, the drama is not bad, as i guess, though the ending is questionable...
to say that to fall in love with an older women is a trend, i dont think that's a good explaination to your family... hahha...
a good watch, which i think is comparable to My Girl, though Coffee Prince is still my fav...
Wonder if Hyun Bin already go for his 2 year army thingy in Korea.. at some angle, he does look like Gong Yoo ... duno why.. haaa
wee.. this is my favorite koreanovela.. Kim Seon-ah and Hyeon Bin of My name is Kim Sam Soon are so cute!!
The age difference between the characters is only 3 years, so whoever called Sam Soon an old lady is obviously an idiot. The story was great. The lead actors were terrific. I love Hyun Bin and he's just so darned cute and sweet and sexy here. Those dimples!! I just want to put him in my pocket and take him home! KSA did a great job with this part. Although her "chubbiness" was still very, very thin by most standards, she showed the emotional discomfort that overweight people feel when they are ostracized by society. I loved the ending. It was awesome.
Smart and witty. Kim Sam Soon is a wonderful character that leaves a huge impression and has hilarious dialogue! The love relationships were somewhat frustrating. But overall enjoyable to watch.
