Here are character introductions based on various sources. I’ll update them after I watch the first episode with subs!
character introductions
Cha Seung-jo
Actor: Park Shi-hoo
Nickname: Psycho-jo, Psycho
He is the young president of a leading global luxury goods distribution company Artemis. He’s a charismatic, rich, love-jaded man who doesn’t trust women anymore. But how much do you wanna bet he’ll change his mind for Moon Geun-young?
Han Se-kyung
Actor: Moon Geun-young
Nickname: none
A run-of-the-mill human of the female persuasion who ends up lost down the rabbit hole. The hardworking Candy-type arrives in psychoville aka Cheongdam-dong where everyone is rich, pretty, well-dressed and mean. She learns the meaning of love via chaebol handiwork. Apparently, she also wants to be a designer AND a Cheongdam-dong daughter-in-law (i.e. marry rich into a family of Cheongdam-dong.)
Tommy Hong
Actor: Kim Ji-suk
Nickname: none
The dude is 35, quite the catch and a coveted man for women who want to marry up. He takes it upon himself to make some normal chick a Cheongdam-dong daughter-in-aw. Hrm, I wonder where THAT is going?
Seo Yoon-joo
Actor: So Yi-hyun
Nickname: Tick Girl, the Tick
Our evil second lead who has a perminant tick on her neck, sucking out her blood. (It’s just a mole, but it grosses me out.) The women has serious inferiority issues and married rich ’cause she’s a devious bitch. Lo and behold, she is also Park Shi-hoo’s ex-girlfriend who reuined him for every other woman.
Now I have to hunt her down and kill her.
Also, she has become Moon Geun-young’s boss and plans to torture her for every minute of sixteen episodes. Hooray.
Seo Ho-min
Actor: Goo Won
Nickname: None
Yoon-joo’s brother. Haven’t met him yet. Maybe episode 3?
Secretary Moon
Actor: Choi Sung Jun
Nickname: None
Seung-jo’s secretary who gets to witness firsthand how psycho his boss is.
Han Se-jin
Actor: Shin Hye-jung
Nickname: None
She plays Moon Geun-young’s little sister who has a warm heart, she has an outgoing personality , loves to hang-out with friends.
Han Deuk-ki
Actor: Jung In-ki
Nickname: None
Se-kyung’s father.
Jung Yoon-hee
Actor: Lee Jong-nam
Nickname: None
Se-kyung’s mother.
Shin In-hwa
Actor: Kim Yoo-ri
Nickname: None
Jian Clothing Group’s youngest daughter, youngest design director and boss to new designer Han Se-yung. She likes Cha Seung-jo and will do everything in order to interfere with their relationship.
That’s what I got from Viki. Basically, she’s another evil wench with too much money. She also really doesn’t like Yoon-joo.
Choi Ah-jung
Actor: Shin So-yool
Nickname: None
She is adorable and makes me want to watch Answer Me 1997 again. Oh yeah, she’s Moon Geun-young’s best friend.
Cha Il-nam
Actor: Han Jin-hee
Nickname: Daddio
Seung-jo’s daddy who is not financially supporting his son. In fact, his son has far surpassed him and enjoys rubbing it in dad’s face. I wonder what the tension is there.
Heo Dong-wook
Actor: Park Kwang-hyung
Nickname: None
An advertising company President and Creative Director. He is also the son of the Chairman of General Hospital and Seung Joo’s best friend.
That’s what the official site says. But what I gathered was that he was a shrink or a doctor because he gave Seung-jo a pen that he uses to record his sessions with. I think that says doctor more than businessman, don’t you?
So In-chan
Actor: Nam Goong-min
Nickname: None
Se-kyung’s ex who loves her but is in serious debt and keeps trying to break up with her because of it. He cries a lot.
Shin Min-hyuk
Actor: Kim Seung-soo
Nickname: None
Yoon-joo’s hubby who is the president of GN Fashion and is oblivious to his wife’s evilness.
