Kim Sam Soon (Kim Sun Ah) is a baker who has a talent in making pastries and cakes. On Christmas Eve, she caught her boyfriend, Min Hyun Woo (Lee Kyu Han), cheating on her and breaks up on the same night. On that same night, she accidentally went into the men’s restroom and met Hyun Jin Hun (Hyun Bin), a somewhat callous fellow but sometimes considerate guy. By sheer coincidence, Jin Hun needs a baker for his restaurant Bon Appetit and Sam Soon is unemployed. Sam Soon is hired as the restaurant’s chief baker and the two fights like cat and dog. Nevertheless, they started to have feeling for each other and Sam Soon agreed to post as Jin Hun’s girlfriend so his mother would leave him alone. Things got complicated when Jin Hun’s ex-girlfriend Yoo Hee Jin came back from the States intending to win him back.

LOVEEEE this drama. I think I’ve watched about 8 Korean Dramas in total, and this is still top on my list.

most poplar korean drama around the world

Korean drama MNIKSS that made history in the making forever. Kim Sun Ah, the best of all the best!!!
January 4th, 2010 at 5:21 pm
This drama is really an epic. It’s now more than 4 years since this series ended and it is still soooo good. Countless re-watches and still it is as fresh as ever.
A lot of people are comparing MNIKSS and City Hall, but the only commonality is KSA. Other than that, everything else is different. City Hall is very different from MNIKSS, story, themes, plot and acting wise. The underlying theme of corruption may not appeal to everyone.
Definitely MNIKSS has mass appeal because of its simple theme. This is the best drama in this genre. Perhaps the best in any genre.

I really enjoyed with this drama,never bored to watched…really recommend everyone to watch it

Kim Sun Ah is an actress who simply turns everything she’s in into compulsive viewing. She commands the screen like no other. I have watched My Name Is Kim Sam Soon and City Hall countless of times and my delight has not abated. The male leads who partnered her, Hyun Bin and Cha Seun Won respectively, are without a rival in the masculine beauty and sex-appeal department (or in any other department for that matter). They jointly have made me want to learn Korean and emigrate to S. Korea. To all those who have not yet watched either or both of these drama/comedies I can only say, what on earth are you waiting for? As tv goes it does not, and cannot, get any better.

can you any good Korean pages?
January 4th, 2010 at 4:29 am
hello

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
LOVE THIS SO MUCH!

@481 GYG
If you meant MNIKSS, then the answer is YES, YES, YES!!! You should watch this as it has both romance & comedy. But above all, it is really a classic!!! Anyone who claim that he/she is a kdrama fan has to watch this drama.
Btw, this is a piece of great news to all KSA fans, KSA has just won the BEST ACTRESS 2009 award!!! Her co-star in City Hall (another must watch drama), CSW, has won the Best Actor award. So for those who are hesitating on whether to watch City Hall or not, this is your answer!
December 31st, 2009 at 3:22 pm
Yes, @481 GYG, this is a romance+comedy drama.
@480 rini, the 1st episode kinda slow, I couldn’t appreciate JoGuk when he first appeal too, but the chemical grow as much when I continue on… btw, are you watching it online, perhaps the subtitle wasn’t good. I found some are not that good, so need to look for one good one they includes the hidden message in the translation. for the second time I watch Chinese subtitle, also need to search a while for a good subber. Like other CH lovers’ saying, you can’t skip or fast forward for this drama, the single little details has meaning and jokes within the lines.
Anyway, wish you have a good time watching
Happy New Year!!

is this just a romance drama or a COMEDY ROMANCE drama?
I always got bored every time I watch a serious romance drama or just a COmedy drama (with no romance
)
I like Comedy Romance Dramas like Coffee Prince, BBF, You’re beautiful, Full House, Get Karl! Oh Soo Jung, What’s up Fox, 9 ins 2 outs.
Can somebody inform me if this drama is a funny and romentic one ?
Or Can anyone pleaseee let me know another nice drama?
Thank youuuuuu

@Lily..yes, I’ve watched City Hall..but I don’t know I can’t enjoy watching it..I feel bored..how come drama which suggested by many people can get me fall to sleep when watching it? I don’t why..but when I see YAB the feeling is the same as I watch MNIKSS..never been bored n fell to sleep though I’m sleepy..sorry I love Kim Sun Ah but not in City Hall..
December 29th, 2009 at 10:49 am
Happy New Year to all of your out there who loves MNIKSS!!!
@478
Have you watch City Hall? another great great play by KSA, also compatible partner by age, CSW. I had watch YB too, nice drama and love the young couple too, I like the songs.
After watching the three mentioned above, I find meself really hard to get out from the scene :p
falling on love with them all
December 28th, 2009 at 1:53 am
This is the first Kdrama that I’ve never been bored to watch over n over again..but now I’ve found the replacement..You’re Beautiful!! Hyun Bin N Kim Sun Ah really have strong chemistry in this drama. I’ve never known Hyun Bin n Kim Sun Ah before I watched this drama but after I’ve watched this I fall in love with both of them..after watching several dramas from them I think only in this drama they’re really matched for each other , no wonder they were crowned as perfect partner in 2005..what I miss both of them play together..but I’ve found the best chemistry now in Hwang Tae Kyung n Go Mi Nam in You’re Beautiful!! My Name Is Kim Sam Soon is really a Must Watched classic drama..
December 25th, 2009 at 1:51 pm
@476 hade
You should watch MNIKSS! It’s through this drama that I fell in love with KSA… She’s really an amazing actress. She put on something like 10kg just for this drama…
@ All KSA & MNIKSS fans
Here’s wishing you all a blessed Christmas & a happy new year!
December 25th, 2009 at 4:44 am
Hey I just finished City Hall ( Best drama ever) and i don’t know what I should watch now… I thought at MNIKSS now that KSA is my favorite actress ( all because of City Hall
) If you have something else to propose me dont hesitate!!
Sorry for my english I’m a french person!!
AND HAPPY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!
