Hubby and me have been hooked to this funny and lighthearted Korean drama by Chae Rim recently. I have always enjoyed watching Chae Rim's drama as she is one of my favourite Korean actresses and she was very cute in her portraying "Dalja". I bought the DVD set from Blue Max for only $15 (total of 16 episodes). This story is quite similar to "My Lovely Sam Soon" and focuses on the story of Dalja, a 33-year old single at a crossroad of whether to remain single or get married before she gets older. The drama aims to comically and candidly portray the reality and undying pursuit of romance of a thirty something single woman.
The love triangle of Dalja, Taebong and Gijoong brews conflicts over love versus marriage. Taebong, a hunk six years younger than Dalja, works as substitute dates and becomes Dalja’s fake boyfriend. Gijoong is the type who dreams of an ideal and rational courtship. The drama also highlights the life and work of women in their thirties through Dalja who is a producer at a home shopping channel.
Character Info:

Oh Dalja is a 33-year-old promising home shopping channel producer. She owns a house and a car thanks to a career driven life. She’s interested in men but is a disaster on real dates. She's a professional in work but a novice in love. She begins a dreamy love affair with flirtatious coworker Shin Sedo but is enraged to find out about his infidelity. She hires a boyfriend by contract, Taebong, to seek revenge on Sedo. One funny thing about this character is she is always at a lost when dealing with her own love affairs and constantly seeking advices from her friends. However, she is able to give advices to people around her when they faces the same problems.
