Han Hye Jin of King of Baking: Kim Tak Goo.

Thorn Birds is a sad, pitiful and tragic k-drama. It's about two best girlfriends who go separate ways in order to achieve their goals. As usual, one of them is the bitch, guess who? This drama is totally cliche, the story is just too easy to read.

Han Hye Jin plays the good-hearted Seo Jung Eun. Her objective is to become a famous actress so she could find her biological mother. Jung Eun's best friend from childhood is Yu Kyung. She helps Yu Kyung unconditionally and treats her well although Yu Kyung always disappoints her. Jung Eun also has a crush on Young Jo.

The drama's villain, Han Yu Kyung is played by Kim Min Jung. You'll definitely feel like kicking her ass in the drama. The value of friendship isn't in her. She betrays and exploits Jung Eun in order to get what she wants. Yu Kyung leads a sad life. She's resented by her famous birth mother since young. Not only that, she gave birth to a child with the man she then hates.

Look at this:

The famous Hong Kong TVB actor, Gallen Lo.

Now this:

Joo Sang Wook of Thorn Birds.

Don't they look alike??? They are like 85% similar!! Except for their age difference though. Haha.

PD Lee Young Jo (Joo Sang Wook) is the son of a wealth family. He was devastated when he found out about his birth mother who resented him. Young Jo cares for both Jung Eun and Yu Kyung. He and Yu Kyung became a couple during the first few episodes. However, Yu Kyung dumps him after she realized that his father and grandfather are the real enemies.

Wheeee. The hot guy from Spring Waltz! Seo Do Yeong plays the another rich hunk, Choi Kang Woo who adores Jung Eun. Howcome the guys always have to be the wealthy ones whereas the ladies get the pity poor characters??? Is this a tradition or smth? Urghhh.

The perfect couple...I hope.

The wicked bitch seduced Jung Eun's oppa.
