Somehow I find Korean scriptwriters tend to be able to knit a huge group of people together, regardless of their social status and personality.
Glory Jane is no exception to that fact, Yun Jane (Park Min Young) is the daughter of a rich businessman who happens to make a promise to Kim Younggwang (Chun Jung Myung), the son of her father’s driver who made a homerun on his first attempt at baseball. The promise was that she would marry him once he became the best baseball player.
Tragedy strikes Jane’s family as her father drowned when the car he was in met an accident and plunged into water. His vice-chairman, father of Seo Inwu (Lee Jang Woo), the ace of the baseball team, only managed to save Younggwang’s father, the driver.
To make it all worse, Jane and her mother also met with an accident while rushing on the way to the hospital as the roads were slippery. Her mother was in a coma, while Jane couldn’t be found by the rescuers. Inwu’s father schemed to take over his best friend’s company since neither of his family members could maintain it. Meanwhile, he asked the driver to locate Jane, give her a new name and hide her away.
Younggwang’s father felt guilty for betraying his former employer, but at the same time needed the money offered by Inwu’s father to open a small noodle shop. He found Jane in a dazed state in a police station, and then put her in an orphanage where he reminded her never to forget her name, Yun Jane.
Years later, Younggwang is a baseball player on a minor league team, former 4th hitter of the major league team, is an innocently confident man who never stops trying his best to re-live past glories. Jane works as a nurse’s aide is a struggling young, cheery, bright girl who always maintains a positive attitude despite her poor background and dreams of becoming a nurse.
She meets Younggwang at the hospital when he sustains injuries, and Inwu when she tried to break the two men apart when they started fighting in the hospital.
One day, a nun from the orphanage came to give her the letters her father wrote to her all these years, but they were actually from Younggwang’s father, her deceased father’s driver.
Unknowingly, she tracks him down, thinking he’s her real father, and chanced upon Younggwang’s family, who misunderstood the poor man for having a child with another woman.
At the same time, Younggwang leaves the hospital where Jane works, leaving a note that hints that he’s interested in her. He comes home and discovers that... she’s actually his step-sister. A lie that started off small became huge! How did Younggwang’s father choose to solve it?
Tune in to Glory Jane every Wednesday and Thursday on ASTRO’s KBS World Channel 391 at 9.00pm and to find out more about this shocking revelation!
The author loves Park Min Young since watching Sungkyunkwan Scandal, but wishes that she would take up a bad girl role for her next drama to see a new side of her.
