Every fans of Korean drama, would always be waiting for new drama. I have a new drama that's very interesting to watch. The title is "
My Fair Lady" (아가씨 를 부탁해), aired by TV stations KBS 2.
The stars in
My Fair Lady are Yoon Sang-hyun (윤 상연) who plays Seo Dong-chan, Yoon Eun-hye (윤은혜) as Kang Hye-na, Jung Il-woo (정일우) which in this drama plays Lee Tae-yoon and Moon Chae-won (문채원) as Ee Yeo-joo, also many other famous drama stars who took part in this drama.
My Fair Lady tells about the life of Kang Hye Na (Yoon Eun-hye. Kang Hye Na is an heir to Kang-san Group, owner of the 'Lady Castle', and get used to living like a princess style with a maid. After her parents died of plane crash she was raised by his grandfather. Kang Hye Na is a stubborn, selfish and feel like the world can not spin without her, this is because when she was growing up she never felt the warmth of the family. Every time she opens her mouth the words that got out is "Shut up! Get lost!! Get over it! regardless of who the person being spoken to. Hye Na has some skills like horse riding, fencing and shooting, but the reason why she wants to master them is to make inappropriate guys who approached her feel embarrassed and awkward when trying to get close.
One day, Hye Na met with Dong Chan, which makes life a mess for Hye Na. Dong Chan made Hye Na do community service, kidnap her, and suddeenly Dong Chan became the head of the new household. Hye Na trying hard to get Dong Chan out of the 'Lady Castle' How does the story goes ?? If You curious, buy the DVD and watch it for yourself :p
My Fair Lady premier on 19 August 2009, replacing the drama "Partner" which was an amazing drama too. My first impression of "My Fair Lady" is very entertaining drama, full of 'absurdity' and certainly does not seem very serious.
As usual, every new drama, the one I expect the most is it's original Sountrack (OST). And this drama also features many great musician. The My Fair Lady OST is :
01. Hot Stuff - Davichi (다비치)
02. Helpless Love (사랑 은 어쩔 수 없네요) - Yoon Sang Hyun (윤상현)
03. Dash Girl - Yoon Eun Hye (윤은혜)
04. Take Care of My Heart (마음 을 부탁해) - Jung Jae Wook (정재욱)
05. Take Care of My Love (내 사랑 을 부탁해) - Na Yoon Kwon (나윤권)
06. Lady
07. Secret Story
08. Lady, Please

I hope you enjoy this series as much as I do.

In the Japanese version, the characters are in high school in season 1, but F4 (minus Domyoji) attend Eitoku University in season 2. In the Korean Boys Over Flower version, the characters are also in high school, but the F4 move on to Shinhwa University from episode 13 onwards. Shinhwa High School and Shinhwa University are located within the same campus.
* In Taiwan Meteor Garden and Japanese Hanayori Dango version, Jan Di’s character was already studying at the school for rich people.
