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.

Dear MNIKSS lovers,
Finally someone is recapping this awesome series at DBs. And it’s by none other than Samsooki. A recapper who gives really good insights on Korean culture in his recaps. Check it out.

Thanks so much for the link! Will certainly check it out. Love this series and love Samsooki’s recaps, especially those on City Hall!

Just read the recap of episode 1 by samsooki. Makes me want to watch this drama again…

I’m actually watching this drama again because of the recaps at dramabeans…. And I’m just reminded again, why I fell in love with KSA. It doesn’t seem as though she’s acting. It’s like she’s just being herself – KSA is KSS and KSS is KSA!
August 25th, 2011 at 7:20 pm
I love this drama! One of the drama that I will watch again and again! KSA is really a great actor! Looking forward for more dramas from her!

My Name is Kim Sam Soon is the first Korean drama that I started to watch and I totally fell in love with KSA. Hopefully KSA can take part in new romcom soon, because I am tearing every episode of SOAW.
