Plot
"Wild Romance" tells the love story between a baseball player and a female bodyguard who is a former judo athlete.
Sometime early in the morning, Kim Tae-Han (Kang Dong-Ho), the director of communications for professional baseball team the Red Dreamers, visits baseball player Park Moo-Yeol's (Lee Dong-Wook) apartment. Kim Tae-Han shows him a video clip from the internet that has gone viral. The video shows a woman judo throwing Moo-Yeol to the floor. Tae-Han wants to know where the video is from.
Meanwhile, female bodyguard Yoo Eun-Jae (Lee Si-Young) stands in front of her boss Kevin Jang (Lee Han-Wi). Kevin Jang also shows her the same video of Eun-Jae throwing a man to the floor. Kevin Jang demands an explanation.
It all started the previous night, on her father's birthday. Eun-Jae, her father and her younger brother went out to a karaoke bar to celebrate. The same night, baseball player Park Moo-Yeol and a woman were also planning to go the same karaoke bar. After Eun-Jae's father, who was a bit drunk, came out of the bathroom he entered the wrong karaoke room. In that room, Moo-Yeol and a woman were there. Eun-Jae's father apologized and left their room. Then, Eun-Jae's father remembered who the guy is in the other karaoke room. Eun-Jae's entire family are diehard fans of baseball team the Blue Seagulls, arch-rivals of Moo-Yeol's team. the Red Dreamers. During the 7th game of last season's championship series, the Red Dreamers and the Blue Seagulls faced off in the decisive game. During the game Park Moo-Yeol and the ace picther for the Blue Seagulls fought after Park Moo-Yeol threw his bat at the pitcher. Both players were ejected from the game and the Red Dreamers would go on to win the game and the championship title. Eun-Jae's father, now even more drunk, went back to Moo-Yeol's karaoke room. Eun-Jae's father yelled at Moo-Yeol for making the Blue Seagulls lose. Moo-Yeol and Eun-Jae's father stepped out into the hallway and got into a slight physical confrontation. Park Moo-Yeol pushed Yoo Eun-Jae's father and he fell down. Right at that moment, Eun-Jae saw her father on the floor. Eun-Jae became angry and then tossed Park Moo-Yeol to the floor.
After hearing Park Moo-Yeol's explanation, Kim Tae-Han tells Moo-Yeol that he has to find the woman from the video and clear the situation. To avoid the media, Moo-Yeol hides out at the apartment of his teammate and sunbae, Jin Dong-Soo.
After Eun-Jae explains what happened the other night to her boss Kevin Jang, Mr. Jang orders Eun-Jae to go into hiding and not reveal her line of work or it will ruin their business.
Eun-Jae goes back to the karaoke bar to get ride of any records the club has of her from the previous night. In front of the karaoke bar, Eun-Jae sees a man and mistakes him for the owner of the karaoke bar. The man is actually Kim Tae-Han, director of communications for the Red Dreamers. Tae-Han is at the karaoke bar to find the woman from the video. Eun-Jae takes Tae-Han to her boss's office. Kevin Jang and Tae-Han both agree to do whatever it takes to calm the situation down. They agree to hold a press conference and that they will tell reporters that Yoo Eun-Jae is Park Moo-Yeol's bodyguard. The video clip of Moo-Yeol being thrown to the ground was just practice on Eun-Jae's part. They also agree that Eun-Jae will really work as Moo-Yeol's bodyguard to squash any further doubts.

I like this drama. I wanted to watch this drama at first because of LDW. But in the middle of the drama, I like Kim Dong Ah - Kim Tae Han couple better. They are so cute together, and always make me laugh. I waited for their scenes more than I waited for Park Mu Yeol - Yoo Eun Jae. Overall, this drama is so fun and really interesting. It's kinda a mix of comedy - romance - detective.

I thoroughly enjoyed this drama. The blend of comedy, romance and suspense was nicely done and allowed frequent changes of pace. It's a pity it fell short in the ratings.

Lee Si Young jjang~!!! she's one of the actress who's completely absorbed into her character and pretend like the world doesn't see her.. she never fails to impress me since her devotion to eating cakes as bu tae hee in birth of the rich LOLOLOLOL... seriously.. I hope the ratings won't affect her career or anything.. I mean.. I hope she will get more drama offers cause she can totally make the story real..
and Lee Dong Wook-sshi.. I adore you~ xD

it was ok, loved lee si young and lee dong wook pairing but there was nothing WILD about their romance. wild/aggressive because maybe they physically hurt each other and since it's a sports-related drama? lol. twist was ok, but i wanted more from the lead pair.

what happened? I thought idol Jessica was being brought in as a secret weapon to raise the ratings? guess that failed. when will they learn that idols do not always equal ratings????
regardless of the ratings, lee dong-wook and lee siyoung were amazing and i was hooked to the story. I didn't let Jessica ruin my WR experience, (i thought she would put me off the show) that's how good this show is!!!!!

I have watched the ending and its really heart melting, not the same as the others but it just matches the character that they are portraying. Dong Ah and Mgr Kim are cute, and will really make you laugh also. Im so sad that it ends already. Hope to see more of Si Young and Dong Wook together because their chemistry on screen and in acting is very good. i really love them and I will miss them.:(((((

This is now one of the top three kdramas that i like and i think this is the top one. I was laughing and laughing in almost all the scenes. And I really love the face of the two lead characters, lee si young with a hair crop up, so pretty and so good in acting. Even though this does not have a good rating, in Korea, i still love this drama.The plot is really nice, not so heavy with a lot of comedy and a bit of suspense and the drama and romance is just enough. If you really want your heart to be lighthearted and be happy, watch this.

This drama was alright, Even though I watched it for Jessica in here. Well, if you're looking for some entertainment because you're bored, this drama is recommended. I would rate it as 7/10. The title doesn't make up for the drama.

the reason why this drama got very low ratings is because they compete with a big drama from MBC airing at the same time ' The Moon that Embraces the Sun' which have reached 40% in ratings.

Emelda: This program did not start yet in the U.S. If you are in Hayward in the S.F. Bay Area, this program will be broadcasted on KTSF Channel 26-3, and also on cable TV and Satellite TV (Dish network). Episodes will be shown at 6:40 p.m. on Wednesdays and Thursdays of each week. The first episode will air tomorrow, so you didn't miss anything yet. KBS programs with English subtitles are usually broadcasted in the U.S. at least 4 to 6 weeks after they are aired in Korea.

I enjoyed immensely this latest korean drama. In fact this is the first time i saw lee dong wook and i must say that i am impressed not only by his good looks but also his acting ability. compared with other actors, i seriously think that he is the best, there was no awkward moments or exaggeration on his acting. He is for sure one of the best. I also like lee siyoung, she is a very effective actress both in comedy and drama and a very credible martial arts expert, she is a good choice for the role. Too bad, that WR did not come up with the expectation in terms of ratings. Really, something or somewhere went wrong or just wasn't right. I'm also a bit puzzled of the viewers' choice. They just don't know what they are missing. Anyway, i'm from the philippines. My friend and I are going gaga over this drama. I always stay up late or wake up too early in the morning just to catch the episodes downloaded after its broadcast in korea. since it has only two (2) episodes left, i feel sad already, i will miss lee dong wook for sure, the wonderful cast and WILD ROMANCE itself. Thank you so much KBS for coming up with this drama and a job well done. i love it! i love it so much, that i dont want it out of my system.. i'm having separation anxiety here... hope to see lee dong wook again and again..saranghe, kamsamhamnida.. by the way they also have beautiful sound track, i like both the ballads and the fast ones. thank you for the great ride WILD ROMANCE!

great and hilarious drama..!!!just like others, can't believe that they're unrated in Korea...for me, this drama is one of funny romcom drama to start 2012..!!! can't help not to LOL when I watch this drama... :)
LSY n LDW really did a good job in this drama, starting from haters to (soon to-be) lover, they seems not trying so hard to be funny yet hate each other..for LSY, I can't believe that she's able to act that tomboyish and cut her hair so short like that..!!!but she's still cute..and Moo Yeol (LDW), hope soon he'll seatlle his feeling to Eun Jae (LSY), well since it's only 3eps left (but hoping they'll try to add some episodes, not only 16eps).
Also like Dong Ah and Director Kim relationship, d'robot able to get angry and changes his mood just because Dong Ah..!that's totally nice.. :p
I do really hope they'll end up soooo good..!!!

hi everyone!!!..this show is i think ONE of the best I've ever seen... the actors are great nothing compares!!! every persona are very exciting... also the love story of director KIM and the best friend of Eun Jae... sooo great.... sad part of this is that, you see, i'm from the philippenes and not ready good in understanding korean language that's why i'm oly relying on the ENGLISH SUBTITLE.. and as of this moment I'm on EPISODE 12... and I'm dying to see the next episode... EPISODE 13.. but unfortunately I can't find the full episode of it with ENGLISH SUB TITLE and to make it worst the thing is that I can't even search the preview of this episode.. please... I really wanted more to see more of this... as if Im so addicted to it .. hehehehe....thank you so much for creating this kind of story.. superb!!!! can't wait to see the next and up to last episodes...............

I miss Lee Da Hae and Lee Dong wook <3 I personally think they are the best!!! drama couple ever!!! can't believe My Girl was 6 coming 7 years ago!! I still love it! I hope they will work together again,soooonnn...hopefully. Lee si young is an amazing actress really truly is,I was shocked to see her in this drama.Same as I was when I watch Lee Da hae in Green rose then to My Girl it was a crazy shocked(Yeah I a fan of Lee Da Hae) hahah.. owhh..owhh..I was so happy Lee Dong Wook finally shave his moustache.This is a great drama its not so typical,its so unexpected that's why I love it!! some drama is just predictable,sometimes I feel like im the writer because its the same over and over and over again.So this is for sure one of my favorite hopefully it will have a unexpected but a very good ending(offcourse that would include them to be together) v(^_^)v so it would be Daebak!!!

I'm sorry, but wtf?
LOL, we're not thinking that Jessica is the main star of the show, ffs. Since we are very devout fans of her, we are happy that this'll be the first drama that she is going to participate in.. If y'all get annoyed of all those SONES that spam YouTube or any other social networking sites, I guess that it's your problem then.
And lol, why would she be an idol wannabe? LOL.. If you are really getting pissed of her being in the drama, you should tell the director of the series to remove her then lol.
Although I'm too excited for her upcoming appearance, when I heard that she's just a secret weapon completely saddened me. I mean, the series is really wonderful.. it's saddening to hear she'd just be in it just to get the ratings higher.. but who knows though? hope all this isn't true. Nonetheless, I'll support her.
My intention of watching this was just because of Jessica, I've to admit. But after seeing the first episode, my intention was completely forgotten. I can't believe how pure awesome this is! Really laughed out loud like there was no tomorrow lol. The main actors are very brilliant, I must say. Especially Lee Si-young, just wow. I remember watching her in the drama called Boys Over Flowers, but I did not appreciate her that much. And I was surprised that she is the leading actress here, just omg. She's a great actress, a really, really great actress, and I hope to see more of her dramas! :D
ps. let's just not have fanwars.. it's completely rubbish. And stupid.

It's be refreshing to see Lee Si-Young in a funny lead role instead of that of the queen bitch rival. So far, the series is shaping up like a cross between two of my favorites, Protect The Boss and Coffee Prince, with a little bit of the American movie "Major League" thrown in. As for the Jessica fans, why don't you cool it until she manages to get a REAL role? Chincha...
