Synopsis: 


Fall in love all over again with the Korean TV drama classic, Tomato. Starring the award winning actress Kim Hee Sun (Sad Love Story, Goodbye My Love) as Lee Han-yi, a sweet and spirited diamond in the rough who longs to enter the competitive world of shoe design. Her dream may come true when a chance encounter leads her to an unlikely friendship with a successful shoe company executive. But when her friend’s ambition turns to jealousy, will the rivalry leave the naïve Han-yi in the dust?

With mistaken identities, conniving vixens, love triangles, disapproving parents, Cinderella allusions, and co-habitation romance, Tomato is everything you can expect from a Korean drama - and more! If the plot and sentiments seem rather familiar, it is only because Tomato came before the rest. Starring top actress Kim Hee Sun (Sad Love Story) and the handsome Kim Suk Hoon (Tube), this classic Korean drama reached astounding ratings of 53% during its original broadcast on SBS in 1999. An entertaining mix of lighthearted romance and serious melodrama, Tomato was written by Lee Hee Myung, who would later go on to create hit dramas like Bright Girl's Success and My Fair Lady.

The bright and cheerful Lee Han Yi (Kim Hee Sun) moves from Jeju to the big city to pursue her dream of becoming a shoe designer. By chance, she saves lawyer and shoe company heir Cha Seung Joon (Kim Suk Hoon) after he gets hit by a car. When Seung Joon later mistakes Han Yi's friend Yoon Sae Ra (Kim Ji Young) as his savior, Sae Ra goes along with the mistake, hoping to win his affections. But fate works in strange ways, and Han Yi ends up renting the same place with Seung Joon and working at his estranged mother's shoe company. The reluctant roommates initially bicker incessantly, but grow closer over time. The jealous and calculating Sae Ra, however, is determined to sabotage both their relationship and Han Yi's career.



Comments:

There is no doubt that this is one of the best Korean drama of all time. It rank in the top 20 of the all time list for TV series ratings in Korea. I love this series because both the main characters Kim Hee-Sun and Kim Suk-Hoon acted very well and had great chemistry together. The supporting casts also did a great job. If you enjoy watching Korean drama then I highly recommended you to see this series.

After watching many dramas that are tear jerkers and unbelievable love triangles, I found this movie to be refreshing because it is none of those. Yea KHS's character was too submissive but that's her role. It was convincing since she is so humble and too nice. Plus it makes the revenge all the more sweeter. Yes the story is nothing new and predictable but they presented it well. I felt it was well written. Had nice analogies, etc. I didn't see any redundant or overly boring parts. The irony and suspense will keep you watching. You'll find yourself cursing at the villian and rooting for KHS.

I REALLY am SO happy Tomato is finally out on DVD with English subtitles. Its definitely a classic. A lot of the newer dramas sometimes don't have the "romance" of these older ones. Kim Hee-Sun and Kim Ji-Young have a lot of chemistry together and are very cute.

The DVD boxed set is a nice linen and good material. There is a cute bonus feature that is fun. haha.. Enjoy! You will be blessed!

Well I was cruising around and came to this product and was very happy! I rarely watch korean dramas nowadays 'cause too busy but saw a lot of old (but classic) ones. this is one of my favorite and I've never seen it with english subtitles before and here it is! have been searching hard and long. only seen a translated version which is just about four hours long and that was good! very happy that will get to see the full version with english sub. thanks so much yesasia for this! many times was about to purchase one without subs but didn't- SOoo worth the wait... you should order yours- placed my order!

"Tomato" is my favorite Korean TV series, but I think it should have more romantic inside it. Kim Hee Sun and Kim Suk Hoon they really match I think they are a cute couple. I would like to see they do a TV series together again that will have more romantic.

I like Kim Hee Sun and this drama was pretty good. I think it's worth it but I wish there were more romantic scenes. Was too Korean-respect/politeness/straight-shooter for me though.

Kim Hee Sun first got my attention in the movie "Bi Chun Mu". I thought she was great in that movie. But this TV series is even better! The range of emotions she depicted in her character mesmerize me! She is one of the best, if not the best actress today. She has great talent and beauty. I hope she will continue to give us great movies and series to watch for a long time. Her supporting cast in Tomato is very good too. If you are a fan of Kim Hee Sun, you must get this for your video library!

This was a very good movie in my opinion. The actresses were very good and not to mention, the guy was kinda cute!

I really love this movie. The first time I saw this movie I cried because this movie is so sad. The actor and actresses who played in this movie is really good. I feel in love with this movie.

This movie is one of the best that I had seen Kim Hee Sun did. I love the movie so much. It made me cry every time I watch it. Kim Hee Sun is a really good actress.

I thought that this movie was really cute and sweet. I like the main character and I'm glad that the other lead girl got what she deserved. The main couple is really cute together too.

This drama is truly one of the best dramas I've ever seen. It's a MUST SEE !!

This movie is soooo.. sweet and cute.. Everyone should see it! I think Kim Hee Sun and Kim Suk Hoon make a very cute couple... and her acting in this movie is really cute... and i also want to see kIm suk hoon in more movies too! he is realli good looking..Well its good all the way and yall should watch it..it's a must see!
