Synopsis from SBS...

A romantic comedy between a woman who doesn’t believe in love and a man who is devoted to her…

A bad woman with liberal values“
Who cares about marriage? Just spend one night with me.”
Kim Dang-ja, an independent woman who wants to be a single mother by choice

A perfect man with conservative values“
Since we spent one night together, we have to get married. You’re the one I love, and we were meant to be together.”
Choi Gi-Chan, the most conservative man you’ve ever met.

One woman’s incredible strategy to seduce a man!

Dang-ja (Shin Eun-kyung) is a successful editor of a glossy, high fashion magazine. She is stylish and looks as if she is a beautiful heroine who walked right out of a romantic novel. However, there is more to her than what meets the eye. To hold onto her job and maintain her reputation, she works at a furious pace every day. People call her an old maid, but the last thing on her mind is getting married. Marriage would only interfere with her career. She’s the epitome of a smart and savvy woman. With her hectic schedule, marriage is a luxury she can’t afford. In addition, none of her friends are happy in their marriages. One day, when Dang-ja witnesses her friend Han Young’s (Choi Jung-yoon) husband Kim Yoon-suk (Park Sang-min) cheating on his wife, she gets furious.
Marriage? Forget it! Dang-ja enjoys every moment of her life as a single woman. But sometimes she has her doubts about being alone for the rest of her life. When she sees children with their mothers or her friend Dol-soon’s daughter, she can’t help but feel emptiness in her heart. Meanwhile, Dang-ja hears the sad news that her favorite teacher from high school passed away. Because her teacher was single all her life, she had no family to handle her funeral. Dang-ja is shaken by the experience and she becomes scared for her own future. She doesn’t want to die a lonely death like her teacher.
So she suddenly decides that having a baby is the answer to her problems. But how can she have one when she’s not even married? It’s quite common to be a single, working mother in the West, but in a conservative and rigid society like Korea, it is socially unacceptable.
Determined to have a child, she heads for a sperm bank. However, she is denied because of her single status. But that will not stop her from getting what she wants. She sets out to find a smart, tall, athletic, and good-looking man to have a baby with a perfect set of genes.

i haven't watch "golden bride" cuz i read it 50 eps long and i dont' like long seriess it hard to wait for it LOL and long eps mean lots of slow pace and dragy .. debating if i should watch it . I just finsh 2 eps of " bad couple " it pretty funnie but i think the leading girl is a bit tombish not so much ladylike . Also , i watch up to eps 3 of "CAPITAL SCANDAL" i really like the setting very much so it was refreshing so it on my addicted list as for " coffee prince " it started off good . I like the idea of girl mistaken as a boi cuz i will fall for the girl den the leading guy LOL.

^bad couple as in they're a bad set of pair. they're not meant to be a couple .. but anyway, in the series .. she try to trick him just so he can give her a baby b/c she doesn't want to marry. anyway, later on, the story got even more interesting b/c what she have plan for have fail her and so yeah, it was good. super funny toward the end too. plus he's not good looking but his character is very charming. feel bad for him half of the time. i dislike the fiance though ..

i've got nothing to say about this drama except "oh my god it's sooo good".
just finish watching it, and i'm in love w/ it. i loved how she doesn't want to marry but want to raise a kid by herself. i want to be like her too. i think she's very good at seducing him to sleep w/ her.
the beginning is so funny, the end is soo sad. love everything about this drama upset her friends.

good looking ppl with GREAT acting together, i begin to love and watch the old drama with good actors/actresses with good plot rather than cheesy teen drama...LOL
