"Golden Bride" is a sweet and light story, it's easy to watch and very interesting, the 64 episodes fly by.
Lee Young Ah plays the character of a Vietnamese girl who comes to South Korea as a mail-order bride to a man named Jun Woo who has social phobia due to a trauma.
I really liked the way the story unfolds, with Jin Joo helping Jun Woo recover from his illness and become a "normal" person again. The two start out with a contract marriage, which later becomes a real marriage, as the characters actually fall in love with each other.
The story also explores the prejudice against foreigners, especially since Jin Joo starts working at a place that makes and sells traditional sweets and in South Korea, they really care about lineage, blood and descent. The twist is that Jin Joo meets her father and he is connected to that place, the problem is that he doesn't recognize her as his daughter, causing the girl to suffer several times. But as they say, karma is a bitch and in the end he suffers the consequences of his actions.
The romance between Jin Joo and Jun Woo is so cute, they are a great couple <3
