My Love, Patzzi (Hangul: 내 사랑 팥쥐; RR: Nae Sarang Patjwi) is a 2002 South Korean television series starring Jang Na-ra, Kim Rae-won, Kim Jaewon and Hong Eun-hee. It aired on MBC from August 26 to September 24, 2002 on Mondays and Tuesdays at 21:55 for 10 episodes.
This Korean drama is based on the Korean folktale Kongji and Patzzi, and turns it on its ear. The traditional story is somewhat like a Korean version of Cinderella where Kongji is the nice girl who in the end gets the prince, and Patzzi (or Patjwi/Patji) is the hot-tempered and nasty girl that everyone detests (like an evil stepsister).
In this take on the story, Patji , though still hot-tempered, is a kind and caring girl deep down, and Kongji, though she appears to be nice and caring, is actually very nasty and constantly plots to make Patji look bad.
The show starts off with the younger versions of Song-yee (Jang Na-ra), Hee-won (Hong Eun-hee) and Hyun-sung (Kim Rae-won) at elementary school. Song-yee quite obviously likes Hyun-sung, and when Hee-won finds out about it, she tells Song-yee that she will not like the same guy Song-yee likes. Later, during a class exercise, when the teacher asks the children to choose a boy to sit with for the new seating arrangement, Song-yee immediately grabs Hyun-sung's hand. Hyun-sung is startled, but it is Song-yee's turn to be surprised when Hee-won walks right up to the two of them and extends her hand to Hyun-sung. She then kindly states that he doesn't have to go with her if he doesn't want to. Hyun-sung takes a moment, looks at Song-yee who forcefully took his hand, then looks to Hee-won who gently proposed to take his. Making his choice, he breaks away from Song-yee and takes Hee-won's hand. Naturally, Song-yee isn't too happy about this. Furious, she throws her shoe at Hee-won and then proceeds to beat her up.
