 Synopsis |
|
There’s no ‘nobody.’ Everybody is once an important person to somebody.
The Life Story of Beautiful-minded People; ‘The true meaning and hope of life
can be learned from ordinary people.’
What makes Love Truly different from other stories is its characters; those who
work in the Blue House (Korean presidential residence). This drama introduces
the viewers the place considered mysterious and tabooed in TV dramas. It also
features the people working inside the most unknown place in the country.
Even though the presidential residence is the main setting of the story, the
main characters of the story aren’t the presidential family. The story focuses
on the true residents of the Blue House; those who have always been in the very
center of the history, but remained nameless for many years. In this story,
the viewers will meet the presidential cook, kitchen staff, a carpenter, a photographer,
bodyguards and other workers.
These people are working in the most unusual and interesting place in Korea.
Nobody recognizes their hard work, but they strongly believe that the food they
cook, the door they fix, and a phone call they answer can make a difference.
They take their work very seriously and always do their best. The story features
the simple, but noble spirit of those who love their job and work hard. Therefore,
the Blue House in this story represents the workplace of the hardest working
people in the country, rather than the secret and off-limits presidential residence.

Yeo, Bong-soon (Actor: Yu
Jin): 25 years old, cook
She’s a happy, fun-loving, honest
and unpredictable person. She loves daydreaming. She’s always thinking about
something. She’s such a bookworm. Her little room is filled with stacks of
books. She loves eating. She recently realizes that she’s a gifted cook. She
used to live with her grandmother in the middle of nowhere. Since she was
completely out of touch with the world, she seems like an alien to other people.
She runs into problems at every corner in the bustling metropolis of Seoul. She
gets carsick all the time. She speaks with a very thick Kang-won (East province
of Korea) accent. For most people, it’s almost impossible to understand exactly
what she says. However, it’s easy to like her. She’s incredibly diligent. She’s
always on the move. She gets up at 4 in the morning as she used to do in her
hometown. Her assiduity bothers Bong-ki who is extremely lazy. Soon she realizes
that there isn’t much to do in the city at 4 in the morning, so she takes a job
delivering milk. Her neighbors have hard time understanding her. For them, her
interest in other people’s business seems unnecessary. They aren’t used to
getting help that they don’t ask for. However, as time goes by, they start
opening their hearts and accept her. |

Nam, Bong-ki (Actor: Lee,
Min-ki): 28 years old, bodyguard
He’s tall and good-looking.
His physical appearance seems almost perfect. However, he’s terribly lazy and
self-centered. He’s such a player and he looks down on women. He’s the kind of
person that people love to hate. He doesn’t want to get involved in other
people’s lives. He’s a very individualistic and selfish person. He tries to
avoid anything that requires responsibility. He doesn’t have any problem saying
no when someone asks for his help. He doesn’t feel bad about anything. He loves
shoes and collects them. He often argues with his father who isn’t happy with
his being shallow. Appearance means everything to him. He’s very popular with
women. He knows many women. He even categorizes them by appearance. According to
his classification, Bong-soon belongs to the lowest group. He never wastes his
money and time on the ‘unqualified’ women. He once fell in love with a woman.
She was his high school sweetheart. However, after his girlfriend of 7 years
left him to marry a doctor, he hates all the doctors in the world. He becomes
the bodyguard of the president’s son, Jang Jun-won. Ironically, he’s a doctor.
Bong-ki can never understand Jun-won. ‘How can a married man fall for another
woman? How can any man fall for Bong-soon?’ However, protecting this man is his
job. He’s confused; it seems that he’s instead protecting Bong-soon from
Jun-won. He follows Jun-won everywhere; the hospital, operation room, rest room
and his house. |

Jang Jun-won (Actor: Ryu
Jin): 31 years old, the son of the president
He’s always
smiling. He’s as handsome as a movie star. He’s very intelligent and kind. The
women in the hospital where he’s working all agree that he’s the sexiest doctor
in the country. He’s generous, modest and warm-hearted. He’s very popular with
his patients. It’s hard to believe that he’s the son of the president. He’s not
interested in the way he looks. In truth, he doesn’t have time to worry about
such things. His hair is usually messy and his clothes aren’t always clean.
Judging by appearance, Bong-ki looks more like the son of an important person.
Only a few people know that his father is the president. Without knowing that
Jun-won has a bodyguard, people find it strange that Bong-ki is always following
Jun-won. He’s been married for five years. He has a five-year-old daughter. His
wife has been suffering from Alzheimer’s disease for three years. Jun-won feels
helpless about the fact that he can’t do anything to make her better. His
in-laws want him to get a divorce and start a new life. However, he can’t give
up on his wife unless she wants to leave him. | |
