Synopsis

[edit]

A romantic comedy about Louis (Seo In-guk), a rich heir who always spends money to buy everything that has a subtle beauty talking to his soul. One day he loses his memory and meets Bok-shil (Nam Ji-hyun), a pure and energetic woman from the countryside. She is at first astounded by his spending habits. In the process of teaching him to only buy bare necessities or inexpensive small kindnesses that lighten up one's day, she also learns that bare necessities are not same for everyone as they depend on everyone's own values that shape their life and thus their shopping patterns. Both have innate innocence which bring them to care for each other, leading to undeniable love.

[edit]

First script reading took place on July 15, 2016 at MBC Broadcasting Station in Sangam, South Korea[7][unreliable source?] and filming began on July 18. The series was based on Oh Ji-young's romantic comedy script which won the Excellence Prize in the 7th Broadcasting Foundation Scenario Contest (7회 드라마극본공모전 사막의별똥별찾기), hosted by the Broadcasting Contents Promotion Foundation in 2015.[8] Despite the common material, ranging from amnesia to corporate heirs, the drama's storyline got praises from both fans and critics.[9]

The filming location used for Louis' Castle in the first episode is the Château de Bourron near Paris in France.
