editSynopsis

Based on the true story of a young man who turned a tiny vegetable shop into a national name, Bachelor Vegetable Store centers on the love lives and successes of six single young men. Wang Ji Hye of recent smash hit Protect the Boss and Ji Chang-wook of Warrior Baek Dong-soo lead a cast of recognizable faces and rising stars (including Lee Kwang-soo from City Hunter). Ji Chang-wook is a talented young man with big dreams for his tiny vegetable shop who finds himself falling in love. Chang-wook’s friend, a wealthy heir who grew up without a father, comes to work at the shop. He falls for a spoiled young heiress (Park Su Jin) and complications ensue, especially when she’s drawn to Chang-wook instead. Pop singer Ji-hyuk, model Sung Ha, and musical actor Shin Won-ho round out the quartet of good-looking bachelors who work together and deal with life, love, and career.

    I'm torn with this drama: I loved more than half of it, but once it hit a certain point (around epi. 17) it never really recovered IMO. I love a good K-villain, but Kang Sun was a bit too cruel in the end. What saved the entire show for me was Ji Chang Wook's great acting & Tae Yang's optimism & work ethic, as well as the relationship between the Fresh Men. I didn't mind Jin Shim as much until she decided to stick by Kang Sun's side once the truth came out. I lost all respect for her after that. I loved In Beom; I'm glad he didn't accept KS's crap anymore. Overall, the show was nice but all over the place in the end. read more

    There are 2 main story lines in this drama.One is how Taeyang struggles to make the vegetable business work with his group of "Fresh Man" despite Jin Shim/Ga On's mother.And The other is how Jin Shim takes on Ga On's place and therefore there will be a lot of problems,but Ga Ons father finds out about the lies Ga Ons mother had said to her husband and therefore will be even more problems will arise.This show has a very complex storyline where bits of other characters also contribute,like Seul Woo) and his mother,Jung Dam Bi and her parents,and other members of "Fresh Man" and so on.
    This drama was so heavy and seriously packed that you know its called "Bachelors Vegetable Store" so to be honest

    I liked this drama but I think they should've cut it to 20 eps. There was some dragging in the middle...

    This had so much potential.

    I dont see how this drama dragged.... like one of the reviews above there's basically two different stories being told at the same time between the two main characters. Each character I think was played well. AND off course this is a tv drama, they're always going to add more dramatic and sarcastic things when being based on real life stories. But in comparison to dramas in general it was good. This 24 ep drama was gradually told from start to finish compared to 16 ep dramas where they mostly cramp all the important stuff in like the last couple episodes.

    This is like an old style drama, there's an evil mother that you couldnt understand how her crazy mind is working and other annoying characters. But i love the main couple love story and also how ji chang wook achieved success ;)

    The beginning was so good with the childhood parts! I started to watch this because of Shin Won Ho, but after Park Soo Jin appeared it was very annoying, I really dislike her... Her speaking and such. She was annoying in My Girlfriend is a Gumiho too... (sorry fans). Dropped it too.

    Had to drop this drama. Too much of a drag for me. I really loved the beginning and JCW's acting, but I didn't like the progression of the story.

  • steciLovesDramas Apr 1, 2012
    gave 8 just because the ending kept dragging on and after a time i just had enough of the mother...

    apart from that i loved it!! really good...does miss it
    ji chang wook fits the role perfectly
  • darkn3ss Mar 17, 2012
    I seriously think that they drag that story on and on for way nothing like seriously , it was supposed to be inspired by a real story, but nothing about it even felt real to me. Most of the main characters decision where just to sureal to actually work in real life.

    I would have given it a 9 if the ending didn't drag on and on and on and on and on. A few loose ends, but all in all a decent ending. Still just an 8 for me though.
  • BellaChica Mar 11, 2012
    There was so much more I wanted from the ending but it still ended pretty good.

    The mom finally went crazy !! Although, I think she already lost her mind when her daughter died ! Even so , I don't really feel that sorry for her ! Hope our bachelors get a happy ending each !

    I haven`t watched this now, but somehow this drama reminds me of a side story in the novel of Jennifer Donnelly with the title" The Tearose".
