There is an old proverb saying, “An evil may sometimes turn out to be a
blessing in disguise.” It means tragedy could bring a reversal at the
end. Just like the case of ugly duckling, which turned out to be a
beautiful swan, there are always ups and downs in life and everything
just goes through after all… This drama brings you the story of Jane and
Yeong-gwang. Warm-hearted Yoon Jane is a cheery, bright girl who always
maintains a positive attitude despite her poor background. Kim
Yeong-gwang, former 4th hitter of the major league team, now a minor
leaguer, is an innocently confident man who never stops trying his best
to re-live past glories. This drama will show you how these young adults
deal with life’s hardship and grow older to achieve their dreams.

Prior to its filming, this drama has created a stir among fans and has
high expectations as it is another collaboration of director Lee Jung
Sub and screenwriter Kang Eun Kyung who was behind the success of "Baker King". "Man Of Honor" has a fantastic cast which includes Park Min Young (Sungkyunkwan Scandal), Chun Jung Myung (The Duo, 2011) and Lee Jang Woo (Smile, Dong Hae, 2010).
The drama stars the lovely Park Min Young as Yoon Jae In, a nurse’s aide with a bubbly, energetic character. Park Min Young only had two months off after "City Hunter" ended before taking on the new role, and admitted she was a little
nervous about the time squeeze. “But I enjoyed the script so much, and
really trust the director and writer.” She also cut her long hair off for the first time in 14 years, in
order to play up Jae- In’s bright personality. She’d been enthusiastic
about the change, and found the thrill of chopping off her hair so
exciting that she’d asked for a shorter cut.
Actress Lee Jin plays a cool, confident design manager in an
outdoor apparel company. Her character went to school with Jung Myung's character Young Kwang
and has feelings for him, making her a romantic rival with Jae In.
Naturally, where Jae In is plucky and poor, Lee Jin’s character is chic
and fashionable.
