Sweet Temptation: The Fantasy Couple -- Couple or Trouble

I would like to recommend a Korean comedy romance TV series to you all. The title is called "Couple or Trouble". The actor and actress are Oh Ji Ho (Second Proposal and Super Rookie) and Han Ye Seul (Forbidden Love). The original meaning of the title is Fantasy Couple. It was Oh Ji Ho and Han Ye Seul first leading roles in a TV drama. Fortunately for them, this series proved to be a successful one which garnered not only high ratings but also a lot of awards. This made Ji Ho and Ye Seul well-known in Korea. Moreover, this TV series has received many recognitions/awards too. Amnesia becomes the culprit behind a drama of extortion under the pretext of love.

Story       :
Based on the 1987 movie, Overboard, starring Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell, MBC brings us the story of Anna Jo (Han Ye Seul), a rude, feisty, and audacious American-bred heiress who can never be satisfied. She returns to Korea only to continue being a controlling wife to her already cowardly husband, Billy Park (Kim Sung Min). When her yacht gets stuck for repairs, she hires local handyman Jang Chul Soo (Oh Ji Ho) to fix her shower, but when they have a heated spat over her dissatisfaction and lack of payment, she pushes him overboard and dunks his tools into the ocean right along with him. Later, after a quarrel with Billy that threatens to end their marriage, she herself gets drunkenly pitched overboard and falls victim to a bad case of amnesia.

But in the hospital, she ends up beside none other than Jang Chul Soo, who's still recovering from his own swim in the ocean for his lost tools. Unknown to her, he's been raising his three orphaned nephews in their unkempt house and desperately needs a nanny. Taking advantage of her memory loss, he manages to convince her that she's his live-in girlfriend and renames her Na Sang Shil. But he didn't expect her spoiled selfishness to slowly turn into compassion. And he didn't expect to fall overboard again—this time, for her.

Another actress who star in this drama is Park Han Byul as Oh Yoo Kyung. She likes the lead actor in this drama. It is very funny to see the lead actress to turn into a normal poor girl from a rich lady. She always talks bluntly to the people around her but she does not hate them, in fact it is her style towards her caring to them.

The "Couple or Trouble" received many awards in the year 2006. The awards are listed as below :-
2006 MBC: The Drama of year
2006 MBC: Excellence in Acting (Han Ye Seul)
2006 MBC: Best Couple (Oh Ji Ho and Han Ye Seul)
2006 MBC: Popularity Award (Han Ye Seul)
2006 MBC: Popularity Award (Oh Ji Ho)
2007 43rd Baeksang Arts Awards: Popularity Award (Han Ye Seul)

Personally I like this drama as I think it is very funny and quite sweet. Overall it is an entertaining show. Oops, FYI, Anna's name is an anagram of the original character played by Goldie Hawn, Joanna Stayton. Anna Jo, when said in Korean, becomes Jo Anna.

OK, here are some more scenes pix of the series.
