What's the Story?
In MINE, the family members who live within the walls of the Hyowon family's majestic compound are anticipating an elegant party that the patriarch of the family is throwing. Although it's an intimate gathering, no expenses are spared. As the extravagant meal comes to a high point, a gift is to be presented to a special recipient. But the father (Jung Dong-hwan), who is chairman of the Hyowon Group, collapses and slips into a coma. Who will be the successor? How will instability affect the family? And who is the mysterious tutor who has materialized in the powerful family's chambers?
Is It Any Good?
A breathtaking setting, engrossing music, and killer clothes magnify the mystery in this intriguing show about an ultra-wealthy South Korean family. Careening from screeching tantrums to whispered secrets in a matter of moments, this show has a soapy quality that is sure to hook teens and adults who enjoy a twisty ride. A groundbreaking series in South Korea, as one of the female leads explores her gay identity, MINE contains layers of innuendo and mystery to satisfy fans of K-drama and dynasty dramas equally.
