Background

My Lovely Sam Soon in South Korea. The series was a major hit in South Korea since its premiere and 50.5% of Korean households tuned into the finale, with a viewership rate of over 40%.
Some critics believe its huge success was due to the show focused in the life of single chubby middle-aged woman, played by Kim Sun Ah. The physical appearance and stereotype that the female character highlighted portrayed in the drama increased dramatically the popularity particularly in mid aged South Korean women.
