Creating Destiny (Hangul: 인연 만들기; RR: Inyeon Mandeulgi; also known as Seeking Love) is a 2010 South Korean romantic comedy television series based on the two-volume manhwa of the same title written by Choi Soo-jung and Hyun Go-woon. It aired on MBC from October 10, 2009 to January 24, 2010 on Saturdays and Sundays at 19:55 for 31 episodes.[1]
Lead actors Eugene and Ki Tae-young fell in love while filming and married in 2011. When Eugene announced their engagement in a posting on her official fan site, she wrote, "The drama Creating Destiny actually created my beloved destiny."[2][3][4][5]
Plot
Han Sang-eun immigrated to Australia with her family at a young age. After graduating from law school, she announces her plans to marry her American boyfriend Alex, a fellow attorney. But her father is strongly opposed to the match, because he has his heart set on her marrying Kim Yeo-joon, the son of his best friend who lives back in Korea. He orders her to meet the bachelor that they picked out for her before she goes ahead and marries Alex. Sang-eun finds herself exiled to Korea, where she reluctantly teams up with Yeo-joon, who is focused on his career and equally uninterested in marriage, to devise a plan that will allow them to avoid their impending wedlock.[6]
