What happens

Star in My Heart (Korean: 별은 내 가슴에; RR: Byeoreun nae gaseume) was a 1997 Korean drama series run on MBC. One of the earlier Korean dramas to air outside Korea, as part of what became known as the Korean Wave, it was very popular and helped its cast (particularly Ahn Jae-wook) become widely recognized. Choi Jin-sil broke her exclusive contract with SBS upon accepting the lead role which ultimately resulted in MBC paying a penalty for her appearance. The drama also marked Jeon Do-yeon's final small screen appearance prior to transition in the big screen with The Contact later that year. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
