What’s popping:
A story about incest? Whoa, and on local terrestrial TV! OK, maybe there’s a twist somewhere in this long-running drama but I’m not hanging around long enough to find out.
Firstly, it’s dubbed in Mandarin, and I dislike that. Give me Korean audio with English subtitles and I’m a happy camper. However, I caught an episode recently – #62 or something – yeah, it runs THAT long!
It stars Yoon Jeong-hee (윤정희) as the heroine Ja-gyeong, and Lee Tae-gon (이태곤) as the hero Wang-mo. There’s much to draw you to the series, such as…
The plot:
Juicy. Step-siblings are attracted to each other and the only person who knows about it – the Mother – is keeping mum (sic) about it. Ja-gyeong was abandoned by her biological mother and knows nothing about her. She was raised by her stepmother.
Now Wang-mo’s stepmother is the same woman who abandoned Ja-gyeong. Draw a little family tree to suss things out and voila, this makes Ja-gyeong and Wang-mo siblings, once removed.
Eh, not so controversial after all. They still have different sets of parents, right? No wonder the drama made it to our shores.

Oh gosh...i will not watch it if it is dubbed in Mandarin. It just spoils it. :-(
I'm not sure about this but did the term "Wang Ja" come from this series?
You know, when Koreans mean "outcast" or something?
I remembered in YSMM when Kim Sa-rang said she had no friends and was an outcast when she was competing for the Miss Korea title. They were going "Wang-Ja" something something...
