The 2005 kdrama, Delightful Girl Chun-hyang, was written by the Hong Sisters, prolific rom-com writers (2008 Hong Gil Dong, 2009 You're Beautiful, 2010 My Girlfriend Is a Gumiho, 2012 Big, etc.). Delightful Girl Chun-hyang was their first series.
Chun-hyang is a high school student that parents her Mother, has part- time jobs, while maintaining her status as the smartest student in the high school. Mong-ryong is rich, spoiled, and the new kid in high school. This young couple ends up in sticky situation and get married. Their friendship grows into love but they never admit it at to each other when the other is ready to hear it. I found the couple fun to watch but the second leads impede them too much, a standard plot device for these writers which has downgraded my opinion of their several of their series.
What I like about Delightful Girl Chun-hyang:
1. Mong-ryong our male lead played by Jae Hee evolves over this series from a fight-loving self-centered boy to a responsible man. He shows his love for Chun-hyang in many ways but she always doubts him.
2. Mong-ryong's father played by Suk-hwan was the best father-in-law. He understood his son's shortcomings and supported Chun-hyang rightly believing that she could change his son from being a slacker into an responsible man.
3.Mong-ryong's best friend played by Moon Ji-yoon. He was steadfast and true in his friendship of Mong-ryong and Chun-hyang.
What I didn't like about Delightful Girl Chun-hyang:
1. Female second lead Hong Chae-rin played by Park Si-eun got on my nerves. She is Mong-ryong's first love. In the first half of the drama She persistently interferes with the relationship to make them break up.
2. Male second lead Hak-do played by Uhm Tae-woong got on my nerves in the second half of the drama. Initially, he helps Chun-hyang but becomes obsessed with her. He succeeds in separating the couple for an extended period.
