Personal Taste




     Can you picture out a real man being able to pretend as a gay to pursue his goal? This Korean drama entitled Personal Taste is a romantic comedy. Together with Lee Min Ho as Jeon Jin-ho who is an architect and Son Ye-jin as Park Kae-In, a woman who is a furniture designer. You definitely have to watch how funny these two people will cross each other’s path. But in every love story there is always that surprising challenge that will test their bond.


     Park Sae-In (Son Ye-jin) is a daughter of the famous architect who built the Sanggojae, a modernized hanok (traditional Korean house). She works as a furniture designer and her products are very creative. This girl is very trusting and gullible; no wonder why her boyfriend broke up with her and cheated on her. When she received a wedding invitation from her friend Kim In-hee (Wang Ji-hye), she figured out upon entering the wedding hall that her friend was about to marry her ex-boyfriend.  Shocked and depressed about what happened to her love life, she swore that she will never love again.


     On the other side, Jeon Jin-ho (Lee Min-ho) is a perfectionist and an architect, who wants to win a project bid for the Dam Art Center. And he wanted to win the favor of the Dam Art Center director to win.  He found out that the director likes the Sanggojae, so he then wanted to live inside that modernized hanok, to see what and how it was built but then it was never opened to the public. He tried to figure out a way in getting inside the house. Fortunately for Jeon Jin-ho, Park Sae-In (Son Ye-jin) was looking for a new roommate excluding a male roommate but he will then discover a way to surpass this.


     In order for Jeon Jin-ho to live inside Sanggojae, he had to pretend being a gay to observe the house. Despite of having his true personality hidden, he will then slowly develop feelings for Park Sae-In. And Park Sae-In on the other hand, although confused, still had fallen in love with her roommate. What makes this drama epic is that the scenes in each episode are incredibly humorous knowing the true color of the protagonist and he tries to act and pretend. The drama itself reflects on how people dwell with their feelings and how you can't stop your heart beating for that someone you know you shouldn't have loved in the first place.
