Jealousy Incarnate is about a poor woman Pyo Na Ri who works endlessly at the TV broadcasting station as a weather forecaster doing all sorts of jobs to earn a living. Weather forecasters are considered low status with 60 seconds on the screen compared to the main newscasters who often looked down on them. Na Ri works endlessly to support her living and to pay for her younger brother's tuition fees.
She meets her first crush Lee Hwa Shin, a flamboyant news anchor at Thailand and surprisingly she also stumbles across his best friend Go Jung Won who is a rich chaebol.
Hwa Shin thinks Na Ri is still interested in him but to his surprise she has eyes on the soft spoken and kind Jung Won after meeting at the plane. Hwa Shin has a big family feud when his brother married twice- one is the fiesty anchor woman Sung Sook and another is the director Ja Young at the same TV station. His teenager niece Pal Gang is living in a same home rented with Na Ri and her brother.
Though the drama is fictional whereby weather casters were ill-treated by the seniors and news announcers, however in real life the weather forecasters were pissed off seeing the drama portraying them so low class status. It is shown those who failed for the test to become news announcers can either choose to leave or become weather announcers instead- this is simply not true according to the rep in the TV station.
It is indeed outrageous to watch the slimy PD asking Na Ri to wear body shapers to show her figure and boasting her butt and chest on screen- quite sexist and discrimination, I'd say!
Jo Jung Suk did a great job in dancing around with his bright sparkly jacket to promote career for the TV station cracking everyone away! Nevertheless Gong Hyo Jin is perfect in delivering her role as once again the bubbly and innocent looking Na Ri in search for career and love. She reminds me of the role she did in Master's Sun. Go Kyung Pyo is once again dressed well in suits and comfortably as a rich heir gaining everyone woman's attention.
You might notice Moon Ga Young as Pal Gang is the Red Killer in Mirror of the Witch and Ahn Woo Yeon was recently in Five Children as Teacher Tae Min. And imagining Lee Jung Jae's relationship with the two cranky women in the TV station. It's going to be one hell of a drama of fierce competition between love and career.
