Cheongdam-dong Alice


Plucky Han Se Kyung (Moon Geun-yeong) is a fledgling fashion designer with big dreams and an even bigger ambition to succeed. She enters every design contest possible, cheerily dusting off rejections and the accompanying hardships, but it all pays off. Or so she thinks. Her dream job ends up being a rude awakening when she realizes she's been hired as the go-to assistant of the company president's wife — the woman who was once her high school nemesis! The tide turns when Han resolves to move up the social echelon by marrying into a rich family and becoming a "cheongdam-dong" daughter-in-law (aka trophy wife). Han must confront her innermost desires: will she hang up her dreams to dry, or does money really mean everything?

Moon Geun-yeong has this perpetual sad look all the time and seemed almost inappropriate at times, in this show. Still, I like this Alice in Wonderland fairytale-like story.
The things that Park Shi Hoo will do to make her happy. His childish-like stances and his innocent sheer joy lit up the screen and make you marvel at this "being in love" feeling that everyone will have when they are in love.

If you are single, you are envious and long for it. If you are attached, you agreed with it. If you are married, you missed those days. Sometimes its not the person you missed, but the moments and feelings when you had with them.

Quoted from the show :
Immature love says " you love him because you need him"
Mature love says " you need him because you love him"
