Wild Chives and Soy Bean Soup: 12 Years Reunion (Hangul: 달래 된, 장국: 12년만의 재회; RR: Dalrae Doen, Jang-guk: Yisimnyeonmanui Jaehoe) is a 2014 South Korean television series starring Lee So-yeon, Namgung Min, Lee Tae-im, Yoon So-hee, Lee Won-keun and Ryu Hyoyoung. It aired on jTBC from March 22 to June 29, 2014 on Saturdays and Sundays at 20:45 for 26 episodes.
The title is a pun, and can also mean Jang Gook Becomes Dal-rae: Reunion in 12 Years. The female protagonist's name Jang Gook means "clear soup with doenjang" which she later changes to Dal-rae, meaning "azalea."
In 2002, on the night of Korea's momentous World Cup win, high school sweethearts Jang Gook and Yoo Joon-soo sleep together and Jang Gook ends up pregnant. They are given permission to marry by Joon-soo's father, but after a horrible accident Jang Gook loses the baby. Their mothers who were against the relationship from the beginning, take advantage of the situation and splits them up. Jang Gook then leaves Korea to live in the U.S., and changes her name to Jang Dal-lae. Twelve years later, they reunite and get entangled in each other's lives again. The only problem is that Yoo Joon-soo doesn't know it's her and Jang Gook doesn't want him to know.
