All About Eve (이브의 모든것)

Sypnosis:

"All About Eve" is basically about the lives of two young women whose goal in life is to become the best newswoman. Sun Mi (Chae Rim) grows up comfortably in a single parent family. Her mother passed away when she was little and her father devotes all his love to Sun Mi. On the other hand, we have Young Mi (Kim So Yeon), who grows up in a harsh condition with her mom leaving her when she turned 6 and her dad, an alcoholic who abused her when he was drunk. Sun Mi is secretly in love with Woo Jin (Han Jae Suk) but he only treats her as a sister since they grew up together. Young Mi's father works in the construction company of Sun Mi's father. He dies from an accident and Young Mi is left with nothing. Sun Mi's father pities her and takes her in. He asks Woo Jin to let Young Mi stay at Woo Jin?s working flat. Coincidentally, both Sun Mi and Young Mi get into the same course at university.

Woo Jin feels sympathy for Young Mi and helps her out. Sun Mi misunderstands his intentions and is heartbroken. She leaves Korea and goes to London to study English. In London, she befriends Hyong Chul to whom she confides her love for Woo Jin. Hyong Chul encourages her to tell Woo Jin of her true feeling. However, on returning to Korea, Sun Mi realizes that it is too late as Woo Jin has fallen in love with Young Mi. Sun Mi, Young Mi and Woo Jin work for MBS, a TV station. At this time, Hyong Chul returns to Korea and decides to help out his father, the owner of MBS, whose health is failing. Hyong Chul also decides to court Sun Mi even though she still cares about Woo Jin. Both women compete to be the best newswoman in the TV station and at the same time have to deal with their own relationship problems.

The whole series could be summed up in one word: LOVE. It starts out quite promisingly with potential character and plot development. Yet later, it mainly focuses on the two main couples and just forgets about the plot. We have Hyong-Chul, who hates his father in the beginning. It was probably to add a touch of tragedy to the past of the main actor?s role. Then he just simply comes back to Korea, sits in the chair of director and everything is normal as if nothing has ever happened. Hyong-Chul's stepmother, now is she an evil woman who steals another woman's husband? This point was never clarified in the series. We also have someone who appeared to be a villain, a rival to Hyong Chul in the company, but nothing really happened with this potential villain. This series is about receiving love but not giving it in return. Hyong-Chul patiently waits for Sun Mi, who runs to him every time she is upset even though she was still in love with Woo Jin. She never once tries to comfort him or understand him. Then we have Woo Jin, who sacrifices everything for Young Mi, even his life no matter how much she wronged him. So the two men in this series are like saints while the women are so heartless.
