Man in the Vineyard/Vineyard Man
(Korean Drama)
(Korean Drama)
Synopsis:
The Vineyard Man is a romantic-comical drama that revolves around the life of Lee Ji-Hyun (Yoon Eun Hye), a city girl who wants to show the world that beneath her seemingly ordinary characteristics is an extraordinary girl who will some day achieve great things. Ji-Hyun is a striving young clothing designer, who hopes to have her own label one day. Her plans are put on hold when she reluctantly takes up a tempting offer from her granduncle. She had to work one year in her granduncle's vineyard in order to inherit it. In the vineyard, the challenge of adjusting to country life is made more difficult when she has to learn how to grow grapes under the supervision of the seemingly uncouth and unsympathetic man in charge of the vineyard, Jang Taek-Gi (Oh Man Suk).
Amidst conflicts and trials, Ji-Hyun and Taek-Gi learned to care for each other. As time goes by, Ji Hyun finds herself falling in love with the vineyard and the man in it. Through the mundane process of grape farming and the personal relationship of Ji-Hyun and Taek-gi, this story portrays how beauty and kindness can be found in everything and everyone when one looks beyond the surface.
This romantic comedy features beautiful rustic scenery, a lighthearted story and a fresh cast. Yoon Eun Hye (as Lee Ji Hyun, the city girl) and Oh Man Soek (as Jang Taek-Gi, the vineyard man) both won best new actress and best new actor awards for their convincing portrayal. Yoon Eun Hye also received the Best Actress at the Grime Awards in 2006 along with Song Il Kook as the Best Actor. They also won the "Best Couple Award" in Korea.
Stars:
Yoon Eun Hye as Lee Ji Hyun
Oh Man Suk as Jang Taek-Gi
Kim Ji Suk as Kim Gyung-Min

Yoon Eun Hye(female star of Princess Hours and Coffee Prince) really knows what drama projects to choose. I watched Man in the Vineyard two years ago on KBS World. At first I was not that interested because I didn’t like the male lead Oh Man Suk since he’s not that good looking for me and it’s his first drama that I saw. But after the first episode I got hooked. Eun Hye really has a certain charm. She acts naturally and she seems effortless in portraying the roles given to her. In fairness Oh Man Suk fits his role too as a young farmer.
The storyline is simple yet interesting. There are really funny parts and most are Eun Hye’s/Ji Hyun’s sequences. The light drama scenes balances the story. The other love interest of Ji Hyun whose more attractive than Oh Man Suk/Taek-Gi makes the love angle exciting. Until the end you will still keep on guessing if Ji Hyun will have the will power to stay in the vineyard and fulfill her deal with his grandfather or go back to the city and continue pursuing her dream of becoming the next big fashion designer. It’s really not a surprise that they got awards for this drama especially Eun Hye.
