Synopsis
Star in My Heart is one of the core Korean television drama classics that helped kick-start the red-hot Korean Entertainment Wave throughout the world.
Yun-Ie (Choi Jin Shil) was raised in an orphanage and later adopted into a hostile family environment. Yun-Ie's stepfather holds genuine affection for her, but her stepmother looks down upon her and treats her cruelly. Yun-Ie even has cruel stepsiblings, just like Cinderella! But this is a Cinderella story where Cinderella takes her fate into her own hands, and instead of one Prince Charming, Yun-Ie has two heroes to help make her life a success. The first is Kang Min-Hee (Ahn Jae Wook), a young man who goes against his father's wishes to become a successful singer. The second is Lee Joon-Hee (Cha In Pyo), an operator of a fashion design company. Joon-Hee helps Yun-Ie with her career, and is attracted to her because she resembles his ex-girlfriend. But Joon-Hee is also friends with Min-Hee, and will not compete with his friend directly. It's up to this Cinderella to choose her own Prince Charming...
One of the early ambassadors of the Korean Entertainment Wave, Star in My Heart has all the perfect K-drama elements: great story, star power, charismatic heroes, despicable villains, unforgettable music (sung by Ahn Jae Wook), twists and turns, and many memorable moments. You'll find yourself watching this classic again and again!
