She dreams of being a Paris-Blanc owner of absolute taste although she is working in a rural area bakery and has been baking since she was five. She used to think that Tak Goo as her rival at first, she falls in love with Tak Goo due to his nice personality.Being the complete opposite of Yu Kyung, Mi Sun values her friendship, love and family above anything else and is willing to sacrifice herself for the sake of others. Although her kind virtues eventually captured the heart of Kim Tak Goo, she is also subjected to the bullying of Shin Yu Kyung.

However, his decision causes a rift and hatred between Tak Goo and his other three half-siblings as his wife plots to take back everything that was given to Tak Goo.

Han Seung Jae (Jung Sung Mo)

Although he is the right-hand man of Koo Il Jong and stayed in the same house with the Koo family, he was once the first love of Seo In Sook before she got married to Koo In Jong.

Diligent, responsible and strong, she is most similar to Koo In Jong's character among all his children.

[Guest karrenstar]

All the best to the drama! Can't wait to see Shin Hye in it!

[Guest almontel]

So the casts have been confirmed?

oh my...i'm glad to see SH in another role...will she be the kindhearted gf who stays by his side thru thick and thin...

i wonder who the other girl will be.

thanks for sharing!

[Guest stoolker]

[Guest nu2me]

interesting storyline. wow 30 episodes. will catch this kdrama. Can't wait to learn more. Thanks for posting. Super excited that the beautiful and talented Park Shin Hye will be in it. Great casts.

[Guest ForbiddenJell02]

OMO, I wonder if this really for real?!

I happy that Shin Hye is going to be in a new drama soon,

but I afraid and don't want to get too excited until everything got finalize eg. seeing her in presscon or shooting or whatever in term of concrete confirmation.

I'll surely anticipating this drama if she's really in it!

[Guest red_pansy]

Park Shin Hye has been confirmed? i haven't seen any piece of news about it?

will she act as the female leading role who always attend to the protagonist,Kim Tak Goo?

i know there is anthor female role who is Kim Tak Goo's first love,but she will dump him when he is in the most difficult situation.maybe she is a negative character.

i think the second female role is more challenging and attractive.

[Guest kaedejun]

whoa - i'm amazed that this drama really is happening! i hadn't heard it anywhere else!

i had the same question as red_pansy - i'm really hoping PSH plays the positive female lead rather than the one who betrayed him. it would be interesting to see her play against type, but she did that in goong s already - and i was under the impression that she didn't do it THAT well... then again, it could have just been the writing and drama overall...

[Guest kreAsian]

PARK SHIN HYE?! PARK SHIN HYE?! PARK SHIN HYE?! PARK SHIN HYE?!

ZOMG I REALLY CAN'T WAIT!!!

[Guest natisa]

Can anybody confirm this yet? is she really gonna star in this pieces? What's her next move?

[Guest .:daRkwinGs:.]

i'll be looking forward for this one...

but the plot seems to be ok...but i'll watch it anyways...

[Guest yeohweping]

http://news.nate.com/view/20100506n05930

Lee Young A makes her comeback to KBS after 2 years as the female lead of Baker King, Kim Tak Goo.

She will be playing the character "Yang Mi Seon" who has a love-line with Kim Tak Goo played by Yoon Si Yoon.

Park Shin Hye's name was mentioned as the other female lead in DC.

[Guest red_pansy]

LYA has been confirmed,i am satisfied with the cast.

But she is order than YSY,still cradle-snatcher...

[Guest winnter]

^aww i really like both LYA and Shinhye (im assuming she's part of the cast? >.>). this is going to be hard..

edit its great to see LYA back after so long. missed her since Iljimae.

[Guest samshiku]

So PSH is not part of the cast anymore??

[Guest greybunny]

Is PSH still on the cast list? Does that mean she will play the "first love who will betray him for her own interest" ?

Wow.. a negative role ?

appreciate any news update on the casting ~ thanks

[Guest red_pansy]

LYA act as Kim Tae Goo's first love?

as far as i know,who will act as first love hasn't been confirmed,and fans on DC said LYA doesn't play the first leading female role.

that means the one who will betray KTG is the first leading female role.

I'm quite confused!
