Synopsis
Korea's biggest TV hit of 2009, SBS drama Brilliant Legacy (a.k.a. Shining Inheritance) spun a Cinderella tale of family feud and sweet romance into ratings gold. Closing at over 30% average viewership ratings, the heartwarming drama draws both laughter and tears with the budding romance between a stubborn couple who start out as bickering rivals, and end up falling for each other. Starlet Han Hyo Ju (Iljimae) charms as the modern-day Cinderella, a young woman who loses her family and fortune, but stays true to her self. Pop idol Lee Seung Gi (Famous Princesses), meanwhile, experienced a huge surge in popularity for his turn as the brash and inconsiderate rich kid who slowly changes after meeting the heroine. Moon Chae Won (The Painter of the Wind) and Bae Soo Bin (Jumong) also make their breakthroughs playing the protagonists' admirers.
Back in Korea from studying abroad, spunky get-goer Eun Sung (Han Hyo Ju) goes from riches to rags when her father suddenly passes away. She never gets the chance to see her father for the last time and even loses her autistic brother (Yun Joon Suk) - all because of her stepmother's (Kim Mi Sook) treachery and the unwitting meddling of arrogant restaurant heir Hwan (Lee Seung Gi). As fate would have it, Eun Sung ends up saving Hwan's grandmother (Ban Hyo Jung) by chance. Touched by Eun Sung's kind heart and hardworking nature, Hwan's grandmother not only decides to take her in, she names Eun Sung her heir!
