Bride of the Century (Hangul: 백년의 신부; RR: Baeknyeonui Sinbu) is a 2014 South Korean television series starring Lee Hong-gi and Yang Jin-sung. It aired on cable channel TV Chosun from February 22 to April 12, 2014 for 16 episodes. The story of the fantasy/romance drama revolves around a family curse that causes the first wife of the first born son to die.
Taeyang Group is the largest conglomerate in South Korea. The Choi family who runs Taeyang has supposedly been under a curse for a hundred years that the first bride of the eldest son will always die. When the wealthy heiress Jang Yi-kyung(Yang Jin-sung) disappears right before her wedding to chaebol heir Choi Kang-joo (Lee Hong-gi), Na Doo-rim(Yang Jin-sung), a lookalike impostor, is brought in to take her place. Unlike the cold and calculating Yi-kyung, Doo-rim is sweet and sunny, and Kang-joo genuinely falls in love with her. As the wedding plans progress, Kang-joo and Yi-kyung's mothers both scheme and plot behind the scenes.
Filming began in Namhae on December 9, 2013.
After having dinner with the drama crew on December 16, 2013, an accident occurred on an icy street which lead to Lee Hong-gi suffering a dislocated shoulder and facial scratches. He was prescribed six weeks of rest and returned to the set on January 10, 2014.
It received a good response in Korea for a cable drama, with a peak viewership rating of 1.451%.
According to one of China's biggest internet portal sites QQ, Bride of the Century ranked number one on weekly and monthly charts in both March and April 2014, exceeding 100 million views. It was also ranked as the most searched phrase on China's microblogging service Weibo.
