Bad Housewife

Date: 03 2005
Episodes: 18
Language: Korean
Subtitle: English
Synopsis: The story is about Su-han, a fatherly man in his mid-thirties, who becomes a full-time home manager after voluntary retirement, while his wife Mi-na becomes the breadwinner who had only concentrated on household chores up until then. The subject of ‘Bad Wife’ is quite ordinary compared to other dramas. There is no amnesia nor is there an innocent child who contracts a fatal disease like other Korean dramas in the same time-slot. The changing roles of a husband and wife are not such an extraordinary or an unusual subject for a TV drama. However, in such a banal setting, the drama succeeds in bringing out a variety of entertaining situations. By changing roles with each other, the married couple comes to face a new environment and, due to the new environment, they face changes through understanding and conflict. The drama realistically describes the process of such change, by providing a few details of some ordinary lives. Son Chang Min as Goo Soo-han Shin Ae Ra as Choi Mi-na Lee Young Yoo as Goo Song-yi Jo Yeon Woo as Ji Sun-woo Yoo Min as Park Yoo-jin Lee Kyung Sil as Lee Kang-ja Kim Sung Kyum as Goo Bon-hwan Yeo Woon Kye as No Jin-ye Kim Ja Ok as Park Ok-ja Kang Jung Hwa as Nam Eun-mi

Synopsis: Producer Lee Byung-Hun and writer Kim Yeong-hyeon from “”Jewel in the Palace (Dae Jang Geum)”", last year’s major hit drama here and in China, have again teamed up for a new historical drama. The SBS drama “”Sodongyo”", translated as “”Sodong’s Song”", has much in common with “”Jewel in the Palace”". Both deal with similar themes: a success story of a lower class person rising to the top, a love that transcends social position, a secret of birth and a rivalry between main characters. However, whereas “”Jewel”" is set in the Choson Kingdom (1392-1910), “”Sodongyo”" takes place in the Paekche Kingdom (18 B.C. – A.D 660), a first for a TV drama. Aside from the romance between a princess and a commoner, an interesting part of the drama is that it focuses on a fierce technology war almost 1,500 years ago. The protagonist is Sodong, a commoner who strives to become a top technician. Sodong later became King Mu, the 30th king of Paekche as he was finally recognized as of royal birth. The main background of the drama is Taehaksa, Paekche’s prestigious institute of science technology. As it possessed and developed the most up-to-date technology at that time, the institute was always in danger of industrial espionage from other countries like the Koguryo Kingdom and the Silla Kingdom. “”The 21st century is an era of information technology. The viewers will be able to see not only the splendidly rich culture of the Paekche Kingdom but also their ancestors’ passion for information technology, which is in line with today’s trend”", said the drama’s writer Kim. The drama also reveals the role of monks as industrial spies at that time, an aspect of monks in the past that is rarely focused 0n. “”Monks were the advance guards of intelligence war at that time. The leaders of the three countries made the best use of the monks’ mobility as they were allowed to move freely from country to country on sacred missions”", said Kim. The drama also features a character who was originally from the Silla Kingdom (57 B.C. – A.D 935) but went over to Paekche as a child and smuggled himself into Taehaksa, concentrating on secretly getting out high-quality information over a long time. Various agricultural technologies considered the most up-to-date at that time also appear in the drama. In some episodes, to solve the problems of excessive dryness of the land, they released earthworms, and used ondol (hot floor) for the first time to decrease the humidity of homes. “”Sodongyo”" is said to be one of Korea’s oldest folk songs. According to Samgukyusa (The Memorabilia of the Three Kingdoms) from the Silla Kingdom, the song was written by Sodong, a commoner from the Paekche Kingdom. Hearing that Princess Sonhwa, a daughter of King Chinpyong of the Silla Kingdom was beautiful, he writes a song saying that the princess visits Sodong’s room every night and spreads the song around. When her father hears the song, he condemns the princess to exile. Sodong picks her up and takes her to Paekche, and they become the royal couple of the country.
