Heard It Through the Grapevine

Hi Guys,

Heard It Through the Grapevine is a black comedy that satirizes the presumptuous and materialistic ideas by the top upper class in Korea, who are indulged in imperialistic power and thrive on inherited wealth and lineage.
  

  
Han Jeong-ho and Choi Yeon-hee are a wealthy couple from a prestigious family. Their reputation is suddenly turned upside down because their teenage son, Han In-sang, impregnates his girlfriend from an ordinary family, Seo Bom. Bom is determined to endure being isolated from her own family and humiliation from her in-laws for the sake of her child's future, while In-sang struggles between his love for Bom and his family's high expectations.

The patriarch of the Han family, a prestigious and wealthy clan which for generations has produced many highly respected and successful lawyers who've influenced South Korea's politics and economy. 

Han Jung-Ho (Yu Jun-Sang) works at a law firm. He is a powerful man and even becomes involved with the appointment of a government official. He is married to an elegant and beautiful woman, Choi Yeon-Hee (Yoo Ho-Jeong) and has a perfect son, Han In-Sang (Lee Joon).

 

Like his predecessors. Strict and a perfectionist Choi Yeon-Hee (Yoo Ho-Jeong) is Jeong-ho's beautiful, elegant and intelligent socialite wife. She secretly knows that her son feels burdened and pressured to live up to his family's expectations, but has never spoken up about it.

 

 Han In-Sang (Lee Joon), Jeong-ho and Yeon-hee's son. In-sang has received the best education and upbringing that money can buy.

On the surface he seems like a perfect boy, but he actually feels pressured by his family and peers. Even though Bom told him not to meet her again, his love for her makes him break his promise.

The girl, Seo Bom (Go Ah Sung),  the second-eldest daughter of an ordinary family living in a poor neighborhood.

She is determined to have a better future, therefore she strives hard in her studies. Smart, popular, and well-spoken, she was chosen to attend a prestigious English camp, where she meets and falls in love with Han In-sang.

Their reputation suddenly turned upside down because of their son’s relationship with an ordinary girl.
