My Girl
My Girl (마이걸; Mai Geol) was a popular South
Korea television series produced by the Seoul Broadcasting System, that ran
from late 2005 to early 2006. With the popularity of Lee Joon-gi and the
appearances of Jae Hee and Han Chae Young (both from another successful drama,
Delightful Girl Choon Hyang), it remained on the Top Ten, even til this day.
Synopsis
The story starts with Yoo Rin
rushing to the airport. She is helping her friend delay a flight so that the
tourists of her friend will not miss their flight. Out of ideas, she plays a
damsel in distress, who is apparently mourning her impending death and her
dying wish to see her boyfriend who is apparently on the flight. And so after
much crying and the entire airport empathizing with her, she gets to get on
board the plane to look for her boyfriend who never really existed. As she
walks, she realizes she cannot find anyone and pretends to faint. Alas, she
faints beside the seat of our male lead, Seol Gongchan, who knows a liar when
he sees one. Although their first encounter is weird, it doesn't leave much of
an impression in each other's mind.
Later, however, when Gongchan has
to entertain a bunch of Chinese visitors and realizes he has no translator, he
engages the services of Yoo Rin coincidentally and through Yoorin, his
potential Chinese investors have a great time at the L'Avenuel Hotel branch in
Jeju, and Yoorin has much credit to claim for it.
After a series of comical events
including Yoorin staying at his hotel lodge without paying, and Yoorin selling
his hotel fruit-yard's oranges to make a small profit (to clear her father's
debts again), Gongchan's impression of Yoo Rin is one of a cheat and he would
want to do anything to distance himself from her.
But then word from mainland Korea
is that his grandfather is dying and at his bedside, Seol Woong, through his
respirator, can only meekly repeat that he must not and cannot die until he
sees his granddaughter again.
Driven by desperation and his
love for his grandfather, Gongchan will do anything to ease his burden. When
pointed out by his secretary that Yoo Rin bears a resemblance to his aunt,
Gongchan hatches a plan to pass off Yoo Rin as his grandfather's long-lost
granddaughter whilst he carries on searching for the real one.
Yoo Rin, who is desperate for
money to repay her father's debt, is unwilling to do the job as it involves
lying to a dying man, something that she staunchly refuses to do. But when Seol
Gongchan desperately begs her and she realizes she is somewhat indebted to him
for not bringing her to the police after her little business in his hotel, she
caves in and pretends to the long-lost granddaughter.
And so things seem to be going
well, with the search for Gongchan's long-lost cousin making progress and perhaps
more importantly, the improvement of Gongchan's grandfather's conditions thanks
to Yoo Rin. As Yoo Rin spends more time with Gongchan's family, she gets
showered with the love she never received as a child and finds herself drawn to
Gongchan. She finds herself changing from the liar that she once was to a
person who tries to tell the truth when she can. She knows all too well that
her one-sided love will never materialize as the difference in social status
between Gongchan and herself is too big.
But unknown to her, Gongchan is
also slowly being drawn to her...

Lee Da-hae as Joo Yoo Rin - a tour guide in a
small company in charge of running mini tours in the Jeju Island of South
Korea. Her father is a gambling addict, but despite all the debts that he runs
up, Yoo Rin always finds a way to help repay them. She leads a below-average
life but is happy as long as she has her dad around her. Because of her
father's gambling ways, she has had to move from country to country whenever
her father runs from one place to another to avoid their debtors. This has in
turn brought her the ability to converse fluently in Chinese and Japanese,
which are of great help as a tour guide whenever she has to entertain tourists
from China and Japan.
