Thoughts on weekday drama Golden Pouch 황금주머니.

The new weekday drama Golden Pouch 황금주머니 has started airing on TV from 14th November via MBC daily drama station. The long weekday drama is scheduled to air for 120 episodes (Yes, very long and winded), however I find it suitable for my taste since the main lead is Kim Ji Han. 

Kim Ji Han was noted mostly for his role in Empress Ki as Yuan dynasty minister Tal Tal.
He also starred in The Family is Coming, My Secret Hotel, A New Leaf and A Good Day for the Wind to Blow. This time, Kim Ji Han has been offered a leading role as the genius surgeon Han Seok Hoon


Seok Hoon is a brilliant surgeon in a hospital however since he is an orphan, he finds it difficult to get married to the woman from a rich background. One day his girlfriend Min Hee seeks the help from the Geum family to pose as Seok Hoon's parents. However Min Hee's mother, Sa Gwi Jung found out the about truth, she slapped Seok Hoon embarrassing him at the hospital in front of colleagues. 

Geum's 3rd daughter Seol Hwa is pure and kind hearted working as television PD. She happens to date Min Hee's brother Min Kyu who is also a colleague doctor with Seok Hoon. Gwi Jung finds fault with all the Geum family members accusing Seol Hwa as a two timer and having parents as 'con artists' trying to fool her as Seok Hoon's parents.


The story will slowly unfold how the icy cold Seok Hoon suffers from downfall and he will eventually leaves his surgeon position and becomes a chef! Given that he has lots of weird encounters and misfortunes with Seol Hwa, there is no doubt he will end up with her.

Ryu Ho Young plays as Geum Seol Hwa is rather pretty and chirpy for I've seen her so far from School 2013. She is the younger sister of ex T-Ara member/actress Ryu Hwa Young.
Ho Young has always spotted with a bob short hair but now she looks feminine with longer hair. Veteran actor Ahn Nae Sang plays the warm and nice food owner Geum Jung Do who has 3 daughters in his house. 

Other supporting casts include Lee Sun Ho, Na Jong Chan, Dana, Lee Yong Joo and many more.
