14. Itâs a story about a 29-year-old woman named Kim Sam Soon. But I am thinking I should take the leap. Nor to meet you again. I hope you take this as a compliment: you recap like a girl....with lots of empathy and depth. Sam Soon is doing prep work at her pastry shop, and Yi Young is on the computer. I think the series did a great job of giving both a satisfying and open-ended ending, which is frankly hard to do. I smiled, laughed and cried every time I read your recaps and relived this drama's pain and uplifting hope once again… the best part is that I got to experience it with a man’s point of view. He asks Sam Soon what she wants to do, and Sam Soon has no answer really. You're a treasure!

I understand the things that I have to do now: do my best to make my cakes and do my best at love, just as if today is my last day, just as if I’ve never been hurt, and to love myself, Kim Sam Soon, more. I have watched My Name Is Kim Sam Soon and City Hall countless of times and my delight has not abated. I think it’s part of what she has to discover about life, and the conscious choice to love somebody and give him her all, not knowing the outcome. Sam Soon’s Dad: You dummy. Or, you might want to say that Sam Soon is your woman. 9.

I think Sam Soon’s reason for changing her name, long after school kids had stopped teasing her, was because she felt like she couldn’t get married if she kept her odd-sounding name. She swears revenge, eventually teaming up with Woman B. Oh, and there's a nice guy (Nice Guy) who falls in love with Woman A, but Woman A can't hook up with Nice Guy until she destroys Dirtbag and Woman B. Oh, and the real insane daughter of the rich matriarch, she is also in love with Nice Guy. FB.init({ Everybody must live and keep on living, if not for others then for yourself.

But Woman B didn't live for years overseas with a bastard child and return to Korea to murder (accidently) Woman A and her unborn child, just so that a look-alike Woman A could steal her husband. First?! version : 'v2.2' // use version 2.2 From the bottom of my heart, thanks for resharing /making me relive Kim Sam Soon again through your thoughtful and great writing of this drama's recap. The male leads who partnered her, Hyun Bin and Cha Seun Won respectively, are without a rival in the masculine beauty and sex-appeal department (or in any other department for that matter). But there's not always a derivation (Chinese or otherwise). Her mom, who wondered whether Jin Heon got into an accident, and prayed at the temple daily until they learned that Jin Heon’s family got a postcard. Or you might want to say that Sam Soon is pretty.
