Introduction written by fellow addict
Nuri-chan:  
To understand the title and
plot of this drama, you need to know the
Korean folk tale of Kongji and Patji.  It's
like the Korean version of Cinderella,
where Patji is the evil, ugly, mean sister who
no one likes.  Kongji is supposedly the
super nice one that ends up with the prince
at the end.  This drama is a parody of that
story in which Kongji isn't really all that
nice.  She's just pretending to be nice to get
men and Patji, although a bit mischievious
and rude, really is a nice girl inside.

The story starts with Song-yi (Patji) and
Hee-won (Kongji) in elementary school.  
Song-yi likes a certain boy who's quite
popular with all the girls.  Hee-won says she
herself is not interested in him because
Song-yi likes him.  When the teacher says
to pick your favorite guy to sit with, Song-yi
boldly grabs the boy's hand.  Then
Hee-won goes up to the same guy and tells
him to sit with her!  The boy rips his hand
from Song-yi and grabs Hee-won's.  
Song-yi, furious over the fact that Hee-won
stole her guy, throws her shoe at her and
beats her up!  It's years later and nothing's
changed.  Hee-won is still the nice one that
all the guys like.  Song-yi is still the loud,
obnoxious girl who no one likes.  Throw in
a rich, good-looking guy that thinks Song-yi
is an angel for saving his life and the
reappearance of Mr. Elementary School
guy and you get a very entertaining series!

(Many thanks to
fellow addict Nuri-chan
