Synopsis:

This series is based on the 1987 American movie Overboard. Anna Jo (Han Ye Seul) is a rude, feisty, and audacious American-bred heiress who can never be satisfied. She returns to Korea only to continue being a controlling wife to her already cowardly husband, Billy Park (Kim Sung Min). When her yacht gets stuck for repairs, she hires local handyman Jang Chul Soo (Oh Ji Ho) to fix her shower, but when they have a heated spat over her dissatisfaction and non payment, she pushes him overboard and dunks his tools into the ocean right along with him. Later, after a quarrel with Billy that threatens to end their marriage, she herself gets drunkenly pitched overboard and falls victim to a bad case of amnesia. (DW)

Have you watched this? Do you plan to?

This is another Hong Sisters Drama. I thought it was pretty cute and funny. Han Ye Seul is actually really good playing a spoiled pampered brat of a woman and I liked watching her grow as a character. Oh Ji Ho is gawjuss! There are lots of funny moments. The kids are so cute and some of the supporting cast is very memorable. It's not my favorite of the HS dramas but it's sweet and well written, as always with the HS.

Overboard is a fantastic film I watch it whenever its on lol This drama is on PTW list

It was really great :D Especially the female lead was very amusing to watch^^

@RainFlower: You should watch the drama immediately at once ;) @LisNoir: The Overboard movie & The Couple or Trouble Drama are not same in every single detail. In Overboard is classic movie, wardrobe maker, old appliances, smexy clothing, unpaid, diamond ring, sons, widower, etc. In Couple or Trouble are new story but kinda same path, different details: shower fixer, whole new appliances but complicated, short payment, drunk, nephews, single, etc. The Overboard is funny, more on slapstick comedy. The Couple or Trouble is funny on reasonable facts, the thing lead to one way to another. More beyond than a slapstick comedy. Hottest lead actor & adorable actress. Just try to watch it, you'll find it a great drama to watch ㅋㅋㅋ ;) For me this is unforgettable comedy drama ever!!! Long Lasting in Memory (^_^)b
