Hundred Year Inheritance is a South Korean TV drama that aired on MBC America in 2013. The show stars a talented cast including Eugene, Jung-jin Lee, Won-Young Choi, Jeong Bo-seok, Park Yeong-gyu, Hwang Sun-hee, and Yi-young Shim. The story revolves around a family-owned restaurant, Gu Family Book, which has been running for over 100 years. The restaurant is famous for its delicious traditional Korean dishes and has been run by the Lee family for generations. However, as the family grows and new generations take over, conflicts, misunderstandings, and secrets arise that threaten to tear the family apart.

At the heart of the story is our main protagonist, Lee Se-yoon (played by Eugene), the eldest daughter of the Lee family. Se-yoon is a kind-hearted and hardworking woman who has been running the family restaurant since her father passed away. Despite her passion for the restaurant and her dedication to the family, Se-yoon faces constant challenges, especially from her mother, Park Bok-ja (played by Hwang Sun-hee), who favors her youngest son, Lee Shin-hyung (played by Won-Young Choi).

Shin-hyung is the black sheep of the family, often causing trouble and getting into fights with his sister Se-yoon. While Se-yoon wants to maintain the family tradition, Shin-hyung is more interested in taking the restaurant in a new direction, with a modern image and fusion cuisine. This clash of perspectives creates tension between the siblings, further fueled by their mother's favoritism.

As the show progresses, we see how Se-yoon and Shin-hyung's relationship changes and evolves, with both siblings learning to appreciate each other's strengths and work together. The show also delves into the secrets and past traumas that have been buried within the family, bringing to light long-held grudges and misunderstandings.

Additional characters that play a significant role in the story include Choi Jae-ho (played by Jeong Bo-seok), a wealthy businessman who is interested in investing in the family restaurant, but who also has a dark past that threatens the Lee family's business. There is also Gu Jae-ho (played by Jung-jin Lee), a talented chef who admires Se-yoon and becomes her love interest.

While Hundred Year Inheritance may seem like a typical family drama on the surface, it addresses deeper themes such as the importance of tradition, the sacrifices one makes for family, and the value of forgiveness. The show also highlights the daily struggles of running a restaurant, shedding light on the hard work and dedication that goes into creating the perfect dish.

In terms of production value, the show is well-made, with beautiful cinematography that captures the vibrancy of Korean cuisine and culture. The dialogue is engaging, and the performances of the actors are believable and emotionally charged.

Overall, Hundred Year Inheritance is an excellent family drama that is sure to tug at your heartstrings. The storylines are compelling, and the characters are well-developed, making for a satisfying viewing experience.
