Bad Housewife

Bad Housewife 

Title: 불량주부 / Bul-lyang Joo-boo
Also known as: Mr. Housewife / Bad Wife
Episodes: 18
Broadcast network: SBS
Broadcast period: 2005-03-21 to 2005-05-17
Air time: Monday & Tuesday 9:55pm 

Synopsis

The story is about Su-han, a fatherly man in his mid-thirties, who becomes a full-time home manager after voluntary retirement, while his wife Mi-na becomes the breadwinner who had only concentrated on household chores up until then.

The subject of ‘Bad Wife’ is quite ordinary compared to other dramas. There is no amnesia nor is there an innocent child who contracts a fatal disease like other Korean dramas in the same time-slot. The changing roles of a husband and wife are not such an extraordinary or an unusual subject for a TV drama.

However, in such a banal setting, the drama succeeds in bringing out a variety of entertaining situations. By changing roles with each other, the married couple comes to face a new environment and, due to the new environment, they face changes through understanding and conflict. The drama realistically describes the process of such change, by providing a few details of some ordinary lives.

Synopsis   

Jae-kyung, Yeol-mae, and Yeon-hee are three inseperable friends. Yeon-hee is married to Taek-su. In-ku is Jae-kyung’s boyfriend, and Bong-chul is Yeol-mae’s boyfriend.

Taek-su (Kim Byung Se) is having an affair with a fellow co-worker, which his wife finds out about. Yeon-hee (Kim Hae Ri) decides to find her own success in the workplace rather than live as a homemaker for her husband.

In a competitive businessplace, Jae-kyung (Park Sol Mi) wins a high position, but her superior, Jang-su (Sun Woo Jae Duk) tries to sexually harass her. When In-ku (Lee Jung Jin) found it out, he got angry, but kept the story quiet in exchange for the position that Jae-kyung had gotten. Jae-kyung, feeling betrayed, moves to a another city to work as a supervisior, where she meets Sin-ho (Park Kwang Hyun), who works as a manager there. Sin-ho is a warm-hearted guy that falls for Jae-kyung.

In-ku, though, is not a guy crazy for ambition, but has his own dark family secret, connected to the company’s president, Lee Soon Jae-which is why he wants to succeed in that company. This yearning for recognition constantly puts him in a dilemma where he has to decide whether to get his success or Jae-kyung.

Bong-chul (Lee Jong Soo) is an unemployed ‘bum’ that always uses money that innocent Yeol-mae (Sung Yu Ri) gives.

In the beginning of the drama, guys defined a ‘bad girl’ as a girl that is sexy, smart, and cute because they are hard to control, but the drama tries to redefine the stereotypical images of career women
