CAST:
Kim Sam-soon / 29 years old
/ Job: patissier / Played by Kim Seon-a
Sam Soon is not that pretty and not that thin, and at 29 years old,
she's not particularly young either. In fact, many people consider
Sam Soon to be a rather strange woman. She talks to herself, drinks
too much, and stuffs her face with junk food when she's feeling
down. But as the daughter of a pastry maker she's also a talented
cook. Sam Soon had a boyfriend who cheated on her and, although she
is still heart-broken, she knows Prince Charming isn't going to
whisk her off her feet, so she does her best not to let life get
her down. Pretty soon, a new man is in her life - her new employer,
Ji Heon, who has a bizarre proposition. He asks Sam Soon to be his
contract girlfriend. She doesn't think he's really her type, and
she definitely needs the money, so she unwittingly agrees, totally
unprepared for what is on the horizon.
Hyeon Jin-heon / 27 years old
/ Job: owner of the restaurant "Bon Appetit" / Played by Hyeon
Bin
Everybody has something to hide, but few people have as many
skeletons in their closet as Jin Heon. Three years ago, his brother
and sister-in-law both died in a car crash. He injured his leg in
the same accident and blames himself for what happened. Before
this, he was an enviable young man - good looking, intelligent and
heir to the family's successful hotel business. But after the
accident, he slumped into a major depression, and to top it all
off, his gorgeous girlfriend Hee Jin left him without giving him a
reason. She simply told Jin Heon she would return in three years'
time and asked him to wait for her. It would be fair to say that
life has not been kind to Jin Heon lately, but he is about to cross
paths with another lonely outsider, Kim Sam Soon.
Yoo Hee-jin / 27 years old /
Jin-heon's ex-girlfriend / Played by Jeong Ryeo-won
Hee Jin is beautiful, intelligent, warm-hearted and kind. She is
the only child of doctor parents and has been in love with Jin Heon
since they first met in high school. They were together for six
years, until the day Hee Jin suddenly announced she was leaving and
would not return for three years. She desperately loved Jin Heon
but could not bring herself to tell him the truth, that she had
cancer. All she could do was promise to return and fight the
disease with everything she had. Hee Jin endured horrible surgery
and two years of grueling chemotherapy, with only her love for Jin
Heon to keep her fighting. But she made it and returned to him as
she had promised, looking more beautiful than ever before. However,
when she saw Jin Heon he told her that he now loves another woman,
Kim Sam Soon, a girl who seemingly has nothing going for her. It
seems that Hee Jin's fight for happiness is not over after
all.
Henry Kim / In his mid-30s
/
Job: Korean-American doctor, who was adopted by Americans as a
child / Played by Daniel Henney
Henry was adopted by an American family when he was two years old
and was raised in the US. He has an Asian appearance but speaks
very little Korean and is a man of few words. He met Hee Jin when
she came to the US for her cancer treatment. He fell instantly in
love with her and made every effort for her, as both a doctor and a
man. He knows that Hee Jin doesn't love him, that she is fighting
for her life so that she can return to Jin Heon, but that she does
trust and respect him. When Hee Jin returns to Seoul, Henry goes
with her to oversee her recovery. His only concern is that her
cancer does not reappear. If Hee Jin really wants to be with Jin
Heon then Henry will respect her decision, but when Jin Heon
rejects Hee Jin, how will Henry react?
