Kim Rae Won (Rooftop Room Cat) and Kim Jae Won (Romance) star in My Love Patzzi, an amusing and romantic parody of a popular Cinderella-like Korean folktale. The folktale concerns two sisters, Patzzi and Kongzzi. Patzzi is the evil, mean, and ugly sister, while Kongzzi is nice, pretty, and the one who wins the heart of the prince. My Love Patzzi creates modern versions of these sisters - but with an entertaining switch! In this parody, Kongzzi's nice ways are a mask used to manipulate others, while Patzzi's mischievous and sometimes rude manner hides a loveable heart of gold.
Pop star Jang Na Ra is Song Ee, the Patzzi of the drama, who finds her Kongzzi in Hee Won (Hong Eun Hee). The two girls have been at odds since childhood, with Hee Won the usual winner - especially where guys are concerned. She currently has the handsome Hyun-Sung (Kim Rae-Won of Love Story in Harvard and My Little Bride) on a string, but when the rich and successful Seung Joon (Kim Jae Won of Romance and 100 Days With Mr. Arrogant) shows up, the two girls have a new target! Will Kongzzi win this time? Or will Patzzi finally get her guy?
My Love Patzzi was directed by Lee Jin Sook, who also handled the classic K-Dramas Four Sisters, Star in My Heart, and All About Eve. It arrives on DVD with high quality English subtitles. |
