I might be writing this after a long time of watching, but this drama is still vivid to me —and that's because My Lovely Kim Sam Soon has a very special spot in my drama-loving heart. It took me out of a drama slump, but it contributed to sending me back to one, because for a while, no drama could live up to this one (or the couple that followed).
I was hesitant about watching this, but I was in the mood for something different than usual, and this drama did more than deliver. Sure, it's got the drama typicals: jerky rich male lead, a second female lead to fuel a love triangle, /the/ mother-in-law... but it has Kim Sam Soon and her story. If you're looking for a female lead that's strong and independent even after a few blows, then I'd encourage you to give this a try. The plot of the story is good because Kim Sam Soon is such a well-developed character, that even though this isn't the most innovating, unique plot out there, it still good and carries a special spark to it.
The acting is great, I loved the OST, it's fun, it's got that sticky factor, and in a way, it's totally relatable. The only thing that wasn't working for me was Hyun Bin's character, Jin Heon. The writers definitely did not think that one through... but other than that, I'd recommend it to anyone!
