Title Synopses:
MODERN HOUSEWIVES
http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/My_Lifes_Golden_Age?src=modernh01
In the past, passive and obedient women were thought to be perfect wives.
Nowadays, a wife must also earn a lot of money, have brains, beauty and be
good at housekeeping while raising and educating children.
These social pressures are a big burden for women. MBC's drama, MODERN
HOUSEWIVES, steps in and becomes that thunderous voice that says "STOP!" to
all of these expectations! Otherwise relationships will eventually explode
and everyone becomes unhappy.
MODERN HOUSEWIVES opens our hearts and minds to the fact that we need to
stop being so greedy and selfish in our relationships with one another and
do what's right to create a better place for everyone.
FOXY LADY
http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/Foxy_Lady?src=foxylady01
Men and women all have habits they can't seem to give up until the day they
die.
Men have swallows sitting in their hearts. And women have fantasies about
love.
So they continue to wander around confused in their search for love without
having the faintest idea of who their true soul mate is. Such characters
meet and quibble with one another in this drama series, each dreaming of
their own fantasies. Creating mirages of their perceived realities without
substance, they become heartbroken chasing after something that is not real,
thinking that happiness only belongs to others.
Most people probably have experienced, at one time or another, searching for
a pencil all over their house only to discover they had been holding it in
their hand all the while. This drama is about the process of realizing that
the pencil is within your hands.
This drama wants to talk about the simple truth that both love and happiness
are found right beside you, right in your heart. It wants to say that if you
discard your superficial defenses, just a little, you too can become happy.
MY LIFE'S GOLDEN AGE
http://www.crunchyroll.com/library/My_Lifes_Golden_Age?src=lifesgoldenage01
In order to bring about a hwang-geum-ki (golden period of life) in their
children's lives, a remarried couple names their children uniquely: Lee
Hwang, Lee Geum and Lee Ki. However, little do the parents know that there
are many trials and tribulation before the golden period of their lives.
Lee Hwang (Moon So-ri) is the smart, aloof one who works at a publishing
company as a designer. Her life seems very much in control, with a seemingly
loving husband and an adorable daughter, but there is more than meets the
eye for her married life turns out to be anything but perfect...
Lee Geum (Lee So-yeon) has two secrets: one, she's still paying the hospital
bill for her birthfather-and it's putting her heavily in debt; and two, she
has CML (chronic myelogenous leukemia). Regardless, she's bright and
cheerful as she coaches a track team. When she fatefully meets Ko Kyung-woo
(Shin Seong-rok) and becomes tangled up in a contract marriage, things start
spiraling out of control...
Lee Ki (Shin Yi-han) has a set life: he finished med school and is an intern
at a hospital. But in order to live his true dream, he quits and starts
training to become a musical actor. As he secretly attends dance lessons
while pretending to still work at the hospital, he must deal with the
troubles of his sisters as well as the fact that he just may be falling in
love with his sister-in-law...
A family drama about the relationship between parent and child, brothers and
sisters, romance, marriage, divorce, reconciliation, dreams and hopes.
