This thread is for discussion of episode 1 of Greatest Love. Please check the drama info & schedule thread for more info and rules on how to avoid spoilers and such.
---------------------------------------------------------
Goo Ae Jung and Kang Se Ri are former members of the girl group National Treasure Girls. Ae Jung used to be the most popular member of the group but is now an unpopular has-been. Se Ri continues to be famous and is rumored to be dating Dokko Jin but their relationship is nothing more than a publicity stunt.
Dokko Jin is a popular action star. He wants to make it big in Hollywood but hasn't had much luck so far. He comes off as nice in public is really arrogant and conceited.
Pil Joo is an Eastern medicine doctor. He's rather outspoken and this tends to hurt him when he goes on blind dates.
Ae Jung unintentionally overhears a conversation between Jin and his manager Jae Suk in his dressing room. She learns about an injury he suffered while filming a movie that he's keeping a secret and his attempt to bribe a Hollywood director only to end up getting rejected. She blabs about his injury on the radio which leads everyone to think they're close. This gets her a spot on a popular variety show. While playing a game on the show with Jin on the phone, Ae Jung blabs about his attempted bribe. After the game is over, the hosts of the show ask Jin about the bribe.
---------------------------------------------------------
Good start. For this drama, Cha Seung Won is just spoofing his character from Athena. It's been a while since I've seen Gong Hyo Jin in anything. She usually gives a good performance.
