Delightful Girl Choon Hyang

Delightful Girl Choon Hyang is the first Korean Series Romantic Comedy by the amazing team of The Hong Sisters. The plot is loosely based on a Korean Folk Tale in which the faithful wife is forced to remarry a corrupt bureaucrat.

The series contains examples of:

 * Badass Bureaucrat: Mong Ryong describes himself as a "Prosecutor Who Fights". He spin-kicks in a double-breasted suit, and who doesn't love that!
 * Cannot Spit It Out: Mong Ryong who, as a high schooler, never tells Choon Hyang that he loves her.
 * Derailing Love Interests: Hak Do -- Up to Eleven.
 * Drowning My Sorrows: Mong Ryong, when Choon Hyang leaves him for Hak Do.
 * I Have You Now, My Pretty: Averted. Choon Hyang abandons Hak Do while waiting for the plane to Japan to take off, and goes into hiding in Korea.
 * Innocent Cohabitation: Even though they were technically married, Mong Ryong and Choon Hyang had separate rooms in his parent's house.
 * Lampshade Hanging: A Hong sisters staple. After the Time Skip, Mong Ryong comments to Choon Hyang, "Boy, time flew by as if you were in some TV drama."
 * Love Makes You Evil: Hak Do.
 * Mobstacle Course: Happens a couple of times.
 * Orbital Shot: Used several times in the series.
 * Real Men Hate Affection: Mong Ryong and Ji Hyuk bond with a back tap, instead of a hug.
 * Real Men Wear Pink: Throughout both time arcs, Mong Ryong almost always wears something pink. He's still manly.
 * Ridiculously Successful Future Self: Although the series doesn't specify the amount of time that passes during the Time Skip, Mong Ryong has metamorphosed from a high school delinquent into a District Attorney / Prosecutor in Seoul. Ji Hyuk, who lacked focus as a teen, is now a wildly successful actor / model. Choon Hyang is hiding in plain sight, creating distinct jewelry under her own name.
 * Romantic False Lead: Hong Chae Rin.
 * Roof Hopping: This happens during the 'saeguk' episode endings.
 * Shout-Out:
 * Episode 16, tearful moment on the beach, with the love theme from Winter Sonata in the background. Winter Sonata was a runaway hit in South Korea in 2000.
 * In the same episode is a homage to Full House, a 2004 Korean Drama.
 * Split Screen: Used frequently to show simultaneous events by different people.
 * Terms of Endangerment: Hak Do becomes so obsessed with Choon Hyang that he threatens to destroy her true love unless she goes to him.
 * Time Skip: "A Few Years Later" in Episode 14 catches us up with the character's lives.
 * Wire Fu: During the 'saeguk' portions of the episodes.
 * Woman Scorned: Hong Chae Rin, Mong Ryong's previous girlfriend, who rejected him but did an about-face when he started dating Choon Hyang.
