Madame Antoine (Hangul: 마담 앙트완; RR: Madam Angteuwan) is a South Korean television series starring Sung Joon, Han Ye-seul, and Jeong Jinwoon. The drama was originally scheduled to be aired on JTBC on November 27, 2015 but was delayed and premiered on January 22, 2016.
Go Hye-rim (Han Ye-seul) is a fortune teller and cafe owner who goes by the name Madame Antoine. She claims her fortune telling abilities are based on a spiritual connection to the famous French Queen Marie Antoinette. Although by her own admission she lacks any true psychic connection to the queen, she is a skilled cold reader with a knack for following hunches and picking up on details.
Choi Soo-hyeon (Sung Joon) is a psychotherapist specializing in women's psychology and known as the 'Soul Doctor' amongst Hollywood stars. Although his Stanford professorship and good looks make him a highly eligible bachelor, his past research and life experiences have left him skeptical that true love actually exists. Choi Soo-hyun moves into the space above Go Hye-rim's office and starts a psychology practice where he designs an experiment intending to prove his hypothesis about the nature of true love. His decision to name his practice Madame Antoine leads to a scuffle with Go Hye-rim, whom he then tricks into taking part in his experiment.
Choi Soo-hyun is a man in his 30s and a psychology professor from Stanford University. He has a cold personality and doesn't believe in love. He opens a psychology center on the 2nd floor above Go Hye-rim's cafe. He decides to secretly use her in his experiment (also called Madame Antoine) on how women truly feel about love. Although, the experiment is about a women falling in love with one of the 3 suitors (including Soo-Hyun) he eagerly wants Hye-rim to fall in love with him in revenge for her being rude towards him. He plays the rich man in his 30s for the experiment.
