Wonderful Life
(MBC 2005)
(Story Line )
People like to say, “Love knows no national
boundaries or age.” “Love is fate.” or “Love has the
power to overcome all difficulties.” However, what
is the ultimate stage of love? Marriage? This could
sound ridiculously old-fashioned, especially to the
younger generation. They still fall in love of
course, but becoming a part of a system such as
marriage can be troublesome, at best. And its
responsibility is bothersome, as well. Most of all,
it’s unimaginable for many young people to give up
their dreams for love and marriage. Put in a nice
way, they are very practical, open-minded and
liberal about their love life. However, they are
selfish about love at the same time. They are the
generation of instant gratification. They still fall
in love, but they refuse to give up their free life
styles. They still get married, but they don’t give
up their careers. Their love life is just a personal
choice, and they strongly resent being judged by
other people’s standards of right and wrong.

However, with love comes responsibility. Loving
someone is about being responsible for your own
feelings and your own decisions. Loving someone is
agreeing to take responsibility for yourself and the
person you love.
is the story of two young college
students (played by Kim Jae-won and Eugene) who
accidentally become parents because of the one-night
stand they had during vacation. They then get
married. These young and inexperienced parents will
show you what true love really means and how they
become more mature by overcoming life’s difficulties
together and how they complete their love.

animal. He's a very moody person. He's a
frequent patron of the dance clubs around
town. He's always welcome because he knows
how to have fun. His father owns a mineral
water company. He's handsome and cool, so
he's popular everywhere he goes. And he
secretly enjoys the fact that he's

time. He majors in aeronautics. After
graduation, he becomes a co-pilot for Sky

He goes to Singapore to see her, but he
meets Se-jin there, instead. When he first
meets Se-jin, she's heartbroken because of
her previous relationship. He just wants
to make her feel better. He finds her
cute. It must be the moonlight, or the
wine or the music. At any rate, he always
does as he pleases. But he becomes a
father at the age of 21! His own father
gets furious and orders him to marry Se-jin.
He's about to be kicked out of the family.
He doesn't have any other choice. He gets
married. But he didn't legalize the
marriage. He lives on the money that his
father sends for the baby. He dreams of
getting divorced once his daughter gets
old enough to go to a daycare centre. He
still thinks about his first love, Chae-young.
To him, meeting Se-jin was the worst thing
that ever happened in his life. He would
do anything it takes if only he could go
back in time and fix everything. However,
his daughter seems to be the cutest child
in the world. He didn't even dream that he
would learn love from this little girl |

and reading. She sometimes sets up a tent
in the room and reads a book with a
flashlight. And she likes to drink coffee
in her favorite camping cup. She became a
catholic after reading The Keys to the
Kingdom by A.J Cronin. It's not easy to
imagine her as a serious catholic because
of her unusual personality, but she is.
She wanted to be a diplomat, but she ends
up getting a job at a travel agency. She
has a daughter and a husband. She
unexpectedly gets pregnant while traveling
as a college student. She can't give up

Min
Do-Hyeon (21-26) : Lee, Ji-Hoon
He's such a gentleman with good manners.
He always seems neat and refined. He
doesn't talk much. But he knows how to be
terse and quick to the point. He's been
successful throughout his life, but he's
not interested in competing with others.
He's very cynical; nothing really matters
to him. He detests people who are obsessed
with success and struggle to win.
Nevertheless, he always wins and gets what
he wants. He's the type of person that
average people love to hate. He's the
lovechild of the late founder of Sky
Castle Airlines, Min Dae-seok. His
biological mother died a long time ago. He
was adapted and raised by Jang Eun-jo, the
wife of Min Dae-seok. Very few people know
about his family background. The
relationship between Min Do-hyeon and Han
Seung-wan is very unusual. While Seung-wan
is very conscious about Do-hyeon and
considers him a rival, Min Do-hyeon
doesn't seem to care so much. Do-hyeon
just enjoys Seung-wan's challenge.
Seung-wan's girlfriend, Chae-young is
interested in him. He's also attracted to
her. But Chae-young goes back to Seung-wan
all of a sudden. He feels betrayed and
lost for the first time in his life. He
realizes that Se-jin is heartbroken as
well because of Chae-young. He develops a
friendly feeling toward her |

Lee
Chae-Young (21-26) : Han, Eun-Jung
(Full House, Scent of a Man)
She's gorgeous, proud, sexy and arrogant.
But sometimes she can be quite naive and
sweet. She's very good at changing herself
to fit the way she wants other people
think of her. No one doubts that she comes
from a decent family and has a good
education. However, in reality, she knows
pain and sadness in life more than anyone.
Her mother was the mistress of a Japanese
businessman. She's ashamed of her
background and tries to escape from it.
She hasn't experienced any financial
difficulties until her father abandoned
her mother and her. Her mother went to
Japan to look for her father only to
realize she'd been dumped. Her mother
opens a bar in Japan and lives there. Chae-young
believes that it's good for everyone. Her
mother was a part of her life she wanted
to hide anyway. Now, she's making up her
new life story as she goes along. She
thinks marrying a decent man from a good
family will provide what she doesn't have
and complete her life. Now, she's looking
for the man who can bring her everything
she dreams of. For her, finding a perfect
man is like shopping. You keep looking
until you find exactly what you want. She
doesn't mind being a two-timer if
necessary. She has Seung-wan and Do-hyeon
wrapped around her little finger. She
introduces herself as a daughter of a
successful businesswoman in Japan |
