My Girl (Korean Drama)




A few weeks ago I re-watched My Girl for the third time in human history! Why would you re-watch something over and over again? BECAUSE it was that good. I mean not only was the drama good, the plot, music, characters and acting was superb. The chemistry between the leads were a great match and for me that was good enough. My Girl was first released in 2005 and was categorized as a romantic comedy. It also was a huge hit during 2005 and it also placed number one in its showing time slot and reached rating of a 24.9%.

Contract dating? Contract marriage? Both Joo Yu-Rin and Seol-Gong-Chan won't even live in the same room. Wait hold on a sec, contract siblings? Can they even figure out whether or not they want to be contracted siblings or a contracted couple? As a native of Jeju Island, Joo Yu-Rin lives with her father who has a major addiction to gambling. Since she must carry her father's debts, she must have some skill in order to survive right? That skill is lying and grifting. When he father manages to escape the island in order to hide from his debtors, Yu-Rin is determined to fine a ways to support herself and clear her father's debts by selling oranges illegally picked from a hotel orchard. But one day, she meets Seol Gong-Chan, the heir to the L'Avenue Hotel Fortune.

In order to grant his dying grandfather's wish, Gong Chan basically highers Yu-Rin to act as his grandfather's long lost granddaughter. Each month he offers a monthly salary as a plus, he asks her to try to act at what she does best. Not wishing to lie to an elderly dying man, but yet very desperate for money she takes up on his offer and begins to play his long lost granddaughter.

Through fate, however, the grandfather is made happy and that also helps him to completely recover. But since Gong-Chan and Yu-Rin have to live under the same roof and have to be claimed as cousins, they slowly develop love between each other knowing they can't fall in love because the family believes that they're actually long lost cousins nothing can happen between them.

But can fate change? Will Seol Gong-Chan ever find his real cousin? Can Yu-Rin and Gong-Chan's love ever be possible in the end?
