MBC’s upcoming drama Fated to Love You has confirmed Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara as its leads and will be broadcasting in the summer of 2014.
Fated to Love You is the remake of a 2008 Taiwanese drama of the same title, which earned the average viewership rating of 10.2 percent, setting the highest rating record in the country at the time.
“Fated to Love You” is about an average woman without a personality or a sense of existence, who accidentally becomes pregnant with the child of a chaebol heir, and the story that unfolds thereafter. The synopsis below closely resembles that of the original Taiwanese drama.
The male protagonist, Lee Hyun Soo, is the president of a chemical company that produces household items. He has a ballerina girlfriend, but he’s faced by opposition from the family.
Kang Yoon Kyung is the main female character. She calls a small island in Dadohae home, and now works as a contracted office girl at a law firm after graduating from a provincial college. Her nickname is “Post-it,” just like a sticky note, because her inability to say no to others results in her colleagues taking advantage of her to do their work.
The drama has been getting attention as its stars Jang Hyuk and Jang Nara, who starred in SBS’s A Bright Girl’s Success Story in 2002, which recorded the whopping viewership rating of 42.6%.
