Quote:

Rookie actress Kim So Eun has been cast as the main character in the KBS1 daily sitcom “A Good Day For The Wind To Blow” (pending official name). The drama will start at the end of February. She will portray the character Kwon Oh Bok. “A Good Day For The Wind To Blow” is a much anticipated work from Lee Deok Geun PD and writer Lee Deok Je, who have worked together in “The Bizarre Bunch”.

Kwon Oh Bok is a a 19-year-old young woman/orphan who refuses to give up her dream of becoming a top illustrator. Because she grew up poor (and is still struggling), she is extremely frugal, and maintains an optimistic outlook on things. Kwon Oh Bok has nothing that she can call her own in her life-time, not even the little room that she stays in. However, her hot temper will flares whenever she witness any injustice.

~Seriously, Plucky Orphan Red Alert~

Hmm... only a week away, there should be more info out there. I'll try to take a another look.

This one looks like it has potential, but I think I've about had my fill of longer dramas. I've stopped watching Jolly Widows. I'm willing to give this next one a chance, though.

Hi, Holly! *waves*

Call it "Windy".

Thanks for the info. I'm loving JW, hope this next one is good too.

So basically, this new drama is You Are My Destiny with a twist? I hope M. Night Shyamalan joins the staff.

I agree but I'll at least give this one a chance. I miss watching my Kdramas

as long as this one doesn't "blow" like the last one....

Episodes 1-3 can be watched Here without subs

A little birdie at KBS told me the English Title for this show is "Happiness in the Wind". It is currently available on KBS Worldi under the name "Happy Windy Day". It has English subs.

 

A little birdie in my email inbox said the same thing.

Quote:

"Happiness in the Wind" A new daily drama following the end of the previous hit, "Jolly Widows". Kim So-eun from "Boys over Flowers", "The Iron Empress" and "He who can't marry" stars as a main character, Oh-bok. Oh-bok is a positive girl who dreams to be Korea’s best illustrator. Her mother named her ‘Oh-bok’, which means ‘Five Blessings’, wishing her child to have a blessed life. However, Oh-bok’s life has been full of hardship. Oh-bok’s mother died in cancer when she was only ten years old, and now, her father sells the house property as collateral and disappeared...

My little birdie was quicker than your Inbox birdie.

 

Oh good - a cock(less) fight!
