The Hong Sisters (Hangul: 홍자매; Hanja: 洪姊妹; RR: Hong Jamae) are a South Korean television screenwriting team. The team consists of sisters Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran, who together write popular romantic comedies for the small screen.
Sisters Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran were originally writers on a variety show. They made their TV drama writing debut in 2005 with Delightful Girl Choon-Hyang, a modern retelling of the famous Korean folktale Chunhyangjeon in which Chun-hyang is no passive heroine, but a headstrong sassy girl. It became a huge hit not only in Korea, but throughout Asia. Their follow-up My Girl (2005), about a cheeky con artist who pretends to be the long-lost granddaughter of a rich man, was equally successful. The two dramas effectively made its young actors -- Han Chae-young and Jae Hee, and Lee Da-hae,Lee Joon-gi, and Lee Dong-wook -- into household names and Korean Wave stars.
The Hongs' winning streak continued with Couple or Trouble (also known as Fantasy Couple, 2006), a remake of the 1987 Hollywood film Overboard. It starred Han Ye-seul as a snooty heiress with amnesia who falls for a handyman played by Oh Ji-ho.
