What happens when competitors come into the picture and families opposing their love?"

The only problem with this drama is its' plot. I'm being serious here. It has the most annoying plot ever. In fact, I avoided watching it for a long time because I hated the storyline. However, the dialogue is wonderful, the characters are realistic, and I think they did a wonderful job directing/ producing it. Although it might be hard to get over its' over-dramatic and almost unrealistic plot, it is a drama worthy of watching. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Cast: Kim Sun Ah, Hyun Bin, Jung Ryu Won, Daniel Henney

"Kim Sam Soon (Kim Sun Ah) is a baker who has a talent in making pastries and cakes. On Christmas Eve, she caught her boyfriend, Min Hyun Woo (Lee Kyu Han), cheating on her and breaks up on the same night. On that same night, she accidentally went into the men's restroom and met Hyun Jin Hun (Hyun Bin), a somewhat callous fellow but sometimes considerate guy. By sheer coincidence, Jin Hun needs a baker for his restaurant Bon Appetit and Sam Soon is unemployed. Sam Soon is hired as the restaurant's chief baker and the two fights like cat and dog. Nevertheless, they started to have feeling for each other and Sam Soon agreed to post as Jin Hun's girlfriend so his mother would leave him alone. Things got complicated when Jin Hun's ex-girlfriend Yoo Hee Jin came back from the States intending to win him back."

This is such a fun drama. I think the most unique thing about it is that when she's daydreaming, you can't really tell. Like you'll be watching it and you won't be able to tell if it is showing her daydream or reality because there are no special effects on the daydream parts. Anyway, it's quite fun. Then again, I think half of the reason I love it is because of the violence. I don't know why, but I enjoy watching women beat up their men. Anyway, take a look at the drama, you'll be glad you did... Well, if you like romantic comedies that is.
