Recently, Gayle and myself have been hooked to a korean romantic comedy drama serial showing on the cable channel - KBS World titled 'The Accidental Couple' . This light hearted romance comedy is about how an ordinary postal worker with a heart of gold- Goo Dong Baek who by a twist of fate meets his idol - a famous beautiful korean actress - Han Ji Soo and helps her in a cover-up of her secret romance with the son of a prominent and ambitious politician. Dong Baek agrees to enter a contract marriage of 6 months with Han Ji Soo to divert suspicions cast by an investigative political journalist about her secret relationship with 
Kim Kang Mo (above, played by Joo Sang Wook), the son of a politician - Kim Jung Wook who is dead set on getting his son to marry the daughter of a media tycoon instead.
The charm of the story is the evolving chemistry between Goo Dong Baek and Han Ji Soo and how he helps her realise the meaning of true love and who she has really been waiting for. There are many heartwarming and cute scences in this drama. 
Top rate acting by established stage and movie actor - Hwang Jung Min (above)who acts as the simple everydayman - Dong Baek is the main heartbeat that drives the authenticity of the story which tugs at your heart. He manages to play Dong Baek as a simple yet witty guy with his own set of insecurities and wisdom. Other lesser actors would have turned the character of Dong Baek into another Forrest Gump like character.
Kim Ah Joong(above) of the movie 200 pounds beauty fame plays the famous actress - Han Ji Soo who is really cute and adorable and who despite having all her fame and success is clueless about the real meaning of love and through her interaction with Dong Baek realises that she has finally found the man of her dreams in Dong Baek. This is a story of hope and true love where the everyday man meets the princess of his dreams and saves her from a selfish lover.
Above - teenage hearthrob - Baek Sung Hyun as Han Sang Chul, Han Joo Shi's brother who plays the persistent cupid who cajoles the simple Dong Baek into his many scheme to get his sister to fall in love with Dong Baek and turn the contract marriage into a real one.The strong comedic talents of Yong Joo San ( as Director Yoon - DongBaek's boss ) , Kim Kwang 
Gyu ( as DongBaek's team manager Go) and Lee Chung Ah( as Goo Ming Ji [above] - Dong Baek's sister) provide many laughs and adds a certain cheer to the series. this drama appeals to all those sentimentalists and romantics at heart and heals your faith in love.

We especially like the main song - Geubaboh by Lena Park and the cute rendition of Judy Garland's Over the Rainbow by Hwang Jung Min.
