Editorial Reviews

Somewhere in the city is your other half, your soulmate. The question is, will you be able to find and recognize him/her? Six young people who live in the city are voluntarily and involuntarily careening towards one another in the search for one's soulmate. Dong-wook (Choi Dong-wook) is the impossible playboy who considers seducing women easier than drinking wine. Soo-kyung (Lee Soo-kyung) is the sunflower-type in that she has loved and looked at only one man for the past five years. Phillip (Choi Phillip) has received Soo-kyung's love for the past five years and is satisfied until it occurs to him that perhaps another woman is his real soulmate. Min-ae is an innate seductress who thinks lightly of love. Ryohei is the cool guy who's dating Min-ae but is fine with her flirty ways. And Yoo-jin is the naïve girl who believes in true love. Now these six must untangle the web of relationships and find out who is their true soulmate in this hilarious sitcom.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Korean Drama I've Seen, July 9, 2008

This review is from: Soulmate (DVD)

I've seen my fair share of Korean dramas by now. However, this show is honestly one of the most original concepts (most just follow predictable love triangle formulas) that I have seen in awhile and the execution is great.

The basic premise is that you are watching two main characters as they stumble through their love lives in the time leading up to when they meet and realize (though there is some doubt) that they are probably soulmates. The show also follows the lives of those around them and approches the idea of destiny and soulmates from all angles. I guess what was so original to me is that the characters don't meet right away (think of it as a Korean "How I Met Your Mother" -- where the woman's story is shown too). What helped with the execution is that all of the characters are really three-dimensional and the fact that is neither straight drama nor straight comedy. To top it off the soundtrack is amazing (which is an area a lot of Asian dramas are lacking in). If you're still not sure convinced, watch an episode online.
