"My Lovely Sam Soon" is a household K-Drama in the television industry as it showed the not-so-typical female lead, who doesn't fit the ideal physical standards before the millennium.
The drama's success represented every 30-year-old single woman, who dreams to be worthy of love and affection one day.
