I Summon You Gold

Hey Everyone!

So, I finally finished another weekly drama a few days ago, called I Summon You Gold. I liked the drama a lot and waited every week to watch it! The drama was mainly about Jung Mong Hee (MHee) and her birth secrets. MHee was brought up in a big family and always supported them financially. When she was younger, she had to give up college to help finance her sister's schooling. Normally when we see this happening in a family in a Korean drama, usually it's because the younger sister is mean or the mom is mean, trying to take advantage of the girl. However, in this drama, the younger sister, Jung Mong Hyun (MH), was a very sweet and caring little sister. Anyways, MHee was initially working by selling jewellery in a little vendor outdoors, whereas her mother sold jewellery all her life in a big diamond company. Her mother always had a dream of having her children grow up and marry rich and elite (since she had a poorer upbringing). Meanwhile, the President of the diamond company had his own problems. This was the other family that was seen in this drama which was FULL of secrets! The president in the past divorced his wife (because he thought she cheated on him) and had two mistresses (a son each). He now had 3 sons; Park Hyun Soo, Park Hyun Jun, and Park Hyun Tae. HS was married to a girl named Son Yoo Na (who looked identical to MHee). HJ was married to Sung Eun (later seen to be MHee's arch nemesis). And HT was just a playboy, having fun all the time. HS grew up with a lot of scars because his current step-mom (HJ's mom) told him about his mother's extra-marrital affair when he was a child. So, HS always grew up thinking he was unwanted and that his father saw the affair everytime he looked at him. He was now married, very unhappily to YN, who was very overbearing and rude! However, he had no choice in the say because YN's parents were really rich, and provided funding for HS's father's company. Eventually, YN requested a divorce and left home. This was when HS discovered MHee. He kept following her around until he finally asked her to pretend to be his wife (YN). At first she said no, but later when she had some financial problems (because her sister MH getting getting married to his brother HT), she agreed to pretend to be YN for a while. In the meantime, MH was to marry HT, but only because she wanted her mom to be happy. When MH and HT first met, HT told her that he loved someone else, and that it's upto her to marry him or not (he wanted to marry her so that his father would be happy and step-mom would not bother with him anymore). During this time was when MHee had to make the decision to become YN, because she needed the money to pay for her sister's wedding. Eventually, MHee and HS became really close because they could comfort each other. They started to fall for each other, but they were always kept apart because he was already married. The rest of the drama revolved around MHee and her struggles to become a jewellery designer and HS trying to get his father's approval (and prove his mother's innocence). Eventually, the secrets from both families came out, with many twists in the plot. I really liked this drama because it ended in a very realistic way. I loved Han Ji Hye's acting as usual. It must have been a challenge to act two different roles for the same drama. Anyways, I give this drama a 4.5 out of 5 stars, and recommend it to anyone looking for a new drama to watch. That's it for now.

I'm off,
