Love Story in Harvard




Hello to everyone....I'm quit busy this day.... can't update my blog as I do the old day but I'll try my best to make it anyway...I think Korean Wave is being so hot right now...I can see how people being so much into Full House I told ya right it's the best for now...but still we have to move on to another new dramas and movies...

Let's talk about the coming new drama 'Love Story In Harvard'. The show, which is actually shot in Los Angeles, (not in Massachussets where Harvard is located) revolves around two intelligent men from prestigious families fighting over the love of one beautiful and kind-hearted girl, a medical school student from a poor family. The drama stars popular actors Kim Tae-hee, Kim Rae-won, and Lee Jung-jin. 

Actually there is so many comments about this drama especially the way they talked in English. If you're not good speaking in English doesn't mean you're not good at all. Do you think for someone who talked English so well means they talked other language fluently too? 

Whatever... the point is this drama is superb... makes me cry a river while watching it LOL

Synopsis:

The first half of the series is set at Harvard University (but filmed at University of Southern California) and is mainly concerned with the burgeoning relationship between aHarvard Law School student, Kim Hyun Woo (played by Kim Rae Won), and a Harvard Medical School student, Lee Soo In (played by Kim Tae Hee).

~Kim Rae Won & Kim Tae Hee~

Kim Hyun Woo and Alex Hong (played by Lee Jeong-jin) are two first-year students at Harvard Law School, both from South Korea. Alex applies himself more and as such is the favorite of Professor John H. Keynes (the class's strict Law professor, played by Emmy-nominated actor and comedian Frank Gorshin). Hyun Woo, who initially has a hard time adjusting to the workload, falls into the bad graces of the professor, who repeatedly humiliates or ignores him. However, Hyun Woo perseveres and eventually wins the respect of Professor Keynes and his classmates. Both men meet and fall for Lee Soo-In, a third-year Korean student at Harvard Medical School. This intensifies the rivalry between them.

Hyun Woo and Soo-In grow closer and eventually start dating. However, their relationship is short-lived as Soo-In's application to join OEP, an organization that provides medical care to patients in Third World countries, is accepted. After spending a night together, Soo In breaks off all contact with Hyun Woo and leaves to work in South America, leaving him devastated.

The second half of the story takes place mainly in Seoul, after Hyun Woo and Alex have graduated from Harvard Law School. Hyun Woo is now an idealistic lawyer, refusing to take on lucrative corporate cases and only defending people he feels have no voice in the legal system. Alex, who remained in the US after graduation, returns to Korea to take on a case for an international chemicals company, which is being accused of dumping toxic substances. Hyun Woo becomes involved in the same case, although on the side of the victims demanding compensation. In addition, Soo-In also returns to Korea at around the same time to conduct some medical research. Unknown to her at first, the research is related to the chemicals case that Alex and Hyun Woo are both working on, and predictably the three meet up again.

Although Hyun Woo is still angry at Soo-In for leaving him so abruptly, he still has feelings for her, as does Alex. Alex eventually reconciles with both Hyun Woo and Soo-In, helping them to win the case against the chemicals company. He returns to the United States to take up a teaching post at Harvard Law, while Hyun Woo and Soo-In marry and have children.
