Seo Ji-Hye on Pure Love

Seo Ji-Hye stars in the upcoming Asianovela "Pure Love" also known as "49 Days" where she portrays a smart and selfish woman, a cultured, strong-willed career woman who uses love to achieve her desires. She personifies the new term “icy city girl”.

Seo Ji-Hye plays the best friend of the Nam Gyu-Ri character; she is a secretary in her father’s company. She is ambitious and unscrupulous, and in a society with pre-defined social classes, she even betrays her best friend.

Athough it is not her intention, when the NGR character falls into a coma, on the one hand she is pained, but on the other, she has to continue with her scheme to avoid detection. She is afraid of revealing herself, and when the NGR character’s soul enters the LYW character’s body, she feels haunted and they start to engage in a tense war of nerves.

Seo Ji-Hye said: “In my previous dramas like ‘I love you’ and ‘Over the Rainbow’, etc., I have always played a sweet character, very different from my character in ’49 Days’. This role can satisfy my thirst for acting and allow me to develop my acting skills. On the surface, she is a villainess, but from the comprehensive point of view, she is completely immersed in the current society.”

Nam Gyuri on Pure Love

Nam Gyuri is dead in a car accident on the first 30 minutes of the new Asianovela on ABS-CBN, "Pure Love" also known as “49 Days”.

Nam Gyuri‘s character, Shin Ji-hyun, dies tragically in a car accident with a wedding ahead of her. Why do they die so young?! It wasn’t supposed to be her time, but nonetheless, she bit the dust. A modern edition messenger from the other world “scheduler” Jung Il-woo runs into the recently deceased Nam Gyuri while on his way to a death appointment.

It seems her death was provoked by Song Lee-kyung (played by Lee Yo-won), who ran out in front of a dump truck during her own emotional distress, which in turn, caused the chain of events that lead to the traffic accident that killed our 30-minute heroine.

She now has 49 days to have 3 people she loves to sincerely cry from her, otherwise she won’t be able to live again.

Pure Love on ABS-CBN

From the first and true home of Asianovela comes another hit Korean series, Pure Love, which is also known as 49 days.

Here is the synopsis of the series:

Ji-Hyun's (Nam Gyu-Ri) life seems to be storybook perfect. Her parents adore her and her friends all seem to admire her. Ji-Hyun is also engaged and set to marry her fiance Min-Ho (Bae Su-Bin) in just a few days. Meanwhile, Lee-Kyung (Lee Yo-Won) is a woman who is completely distraught over her life and frequently contemplates suicide. She works the night shift at a convenient store, while sleeping in the afternoons.

On a fateful day, Lee-Kyung gets off a bus and wanders around. She then stands in front of a busy street and attempts to kill herself by walking into oncoming traffic. At that time, somebody saves her life by pulling her back. At this moment, Ji-Hyun, who is driving nearby, hits her breaks, but can't avoid the semi-trailer truck that has stopped in the middle of the road.

Moments later, Ji-Hyun walks out of her car in a daze. She is shocked to see herself being carted into an ambulance. The only person who seems to notice her standing in the road is a man on a motorcycle. The man on the motorcycle is the Scheduler (Jeong Il-Woo) - an angel of sorts who awaits to take souls to their final destinations.

Ji-Hyun follows her body into the ambulance and watches as the paramedics attempt to revive her body. At the hospital, Ji-Hyun meets the Scheduler again. The Scheduler tells Ji-Hyun that if three people (besides her family) genuinely sheds tears over her condition within the next 49 days, her body will awake from its coma and she can live again. Ji-Hyun instantly thinks of her fiance and two best friends and is certain she will live again. For the next the 49 days, Ji-Hyun then takes over the body of the suicidal Lee-Kyung in her quest to find three such persons. Ji-Hyun gets a job at a restaurant owned by her friend (Jo Hyeon-Jae).

At this time, Ji-Hyun's memory starts to return to her. Before the accident, Ji-Hyun remembers going to see her best friend In-Jung (Seo Ji-Hye) to show off her bridal gown. When she arrived, Ji-Hyun saw her best friend and her fiance sitting together in a car. They looked so intimate sitting together. She was then driving to confront them when the accident occurred. Ji-Hyun now realizes that it won't be so easy to find three people who truly loves her ...
