Plot
A family is a lot like the rice dish bibimbap – different flavors and ingredients mixed together to strike a delicious balance. The family drama Assorted Gems revolves around four siblings of the Gung family. All were named after precious jewels: eldest daughter Bi-chwi ("Jade"), eldest son San-ho ("Coral"), second daughter Ryu-bi ("Ruby"), and the youngest son, Ho-bak ("Amber").
Bi-chwi and Ruby are two pretty but shallow women who wish to marry rich men to live comfortable lives. San-ho's goal is to pass the bar exam and gain wealth and status as a prosecutor, and then there's Ho-bak, the youngest in the family, who's always getting into fistfights.
Like an assortment of beautiful gems, the four are each bright and attractive in their own way, but their colors sometimes clash and their sharp edges chip away at each other, leading to conflicts within the family and in their love lives, like when Bi-chwi meets and falls in love with Young-guk, the son of a respectable family very unlike her own.
