My Girl

Thanks to Ernie for lending me this show. I have just finished watching this show. I must say it was good, though I almost gave up watching after only the first episode because the lead actress (Lee Da Hae) was too act-cute. But as I watched on, I found the plot quite interesting. And acutally Lee Da Hae can act very well. Unlike most other korean shows, where it gets draggy towards the end, this show actually got more interesting towards the end.

Lee Da Hae plays Joo Yoo Rin, who is gifted at lying. In the early episodes she got to know Seol Gong Chan (Lee Dong Wook), who engaged her help to be his fake sister in order to revive his dying grandfather. Yoo Rin grew very close to his family, who by then thought she was the real sister. When Gong Chan gave up hope of finding his real sister, he wants Yoo Rin to stay by his side forever. Soon, the Grandfather found out his granddaughter was a fake, and so sent Yoo Rin away, making her promise that she would never meet Gong Chan or see his family again. The pair had a tearful departure at the airport, with Gong Chan realizing she was gone forever only after she had left.

2 years had passed. Gong Chan has been tracking down Yoo Rin these 2 years. They finally met when he found out she was working in a tour agency. Gong Chan falls out with his grandfather after he insisted in pursuing Yoo Rin. Unknown to Gong Chan, Kim Se Hyun (played by Park Shi Yeon) had found a man who knew the location of the real sister who is still alive. This man turns out to be Yoo Rin's father. Se Hyun then meets Yoo Rin, and makes her confess to the family. To everyone's shock, Yoo Rin 'confessed' that she was the mastermind behind the whole plan, and for this reason she cannot be with Gong Chan. Gong Chan refused to believe her, and told her to stop lying. Yoo Rin told him to stop looking for her again. Both are devastated.

Soon after Grandfather learnt that Yoo Rin had lied in her 'confession' in order to bring Gong Chan back to him and reunite his family. He then gave her permission to be with his grandson. They finally found each other in the end and were allowed to be together.
