The drama focuses on the relationship between Tae Woong and Yeon Ho, their meetings, their interactions, their developing feelings for one another and their family dynamics and relationships with parents, siblings and friends. It flowed nicely - although I could have done with much less of the older cast scenes (the parents) I found Yeon Ho's mother to be extremely obnoxious and irritating. I much preferred the story of Tae Man and Soon Ho. Cast: Tae Woong (Choi Soo Jong) is a cars salesman who is honest and upright. If he sees someone in need, despite how pressured he is for time, he will stop to help them - this in turn lands him many opportunities and gains him much favor. He unknowingly helps out people who then help him out in more ways than one. He is bright, kind and very likeable. Yeon Ho (Chae Rim) is a pediatrician. She's nice and sweet but also very prissy if that's the right word to describe her lol - she was raised rich and doesn't think when it comes to saying things sometimes. She falls for Tae Woong (despite being engaged to another man) who is idk at least 10yrs older than her (she calls him Ahjussi) (there were no subs for this drama and I don't understand Korean fluently so I can't tell you their exact age difference). Tae Man (Yoon Tae Young) is a guy who is trying to change his life with money - he thinks money means you can do anything - so he chases it as if his life depends on it. Constantly trying to run away from his true happiness by being in pursuit of what he thinks will be happiness. He is on the wrong path and only the girl who loves him tries to set him straight. Soon Ho (Chae Jung Ahn) is a simple girl who just loves a man so ardently that she refuses to give up on him despite being rejected many times - she can see through his exterior to what lies beneath and hurts when she sees him hurt himself by running from himself. She is constantly trying to pull him back and make him realize what he really wants - she never gives up on him and that was extremely admirable to me. (this man was blessed to have her in his life). Her and Tae Man ended up being my main focus halfway through the drama - I ended up skipping a little more just so I could get to see them sooner lol (they were my favorite couple). I was shipping them from day 1 and my ship only grew stronger as time went on. Seung Min (Choi Chul Ho) was the fiance to Yeon Ho - He's a really nice guy and I liked his character. I started to enjoy him more however when he and Yeon Ho broke off and he started to like another (secret or it's a possible spoiler). Ae Ran (Kim Jung Nan) is Yeon Ho's aunt (who is only a few years older than her) - I really liked her character ^^ She was also a Hoobae to Tae Woong and has been crushing on him for a long time. Everything changes however when she finds out he likes her niece. I really liked Ok Hee and Jum Hee's friendship ^_^ They were sweet friends ;) OST: I really liked the OST - it's classic and beautiful ^^ especially the songs: ? ?? - ????? (Please by Shirin Ballad? (google translate)) (Tae Woong and Yeon Ho's theme song); and ?? ?? ??? ? (I'm Hidden Behind You) by Zeil (Tae Man and Soon Ho's theme song). Rewatch?... I might re-watch Tae Man and Soon Ho's scenes again at some point but not anything else lol Overall it's a good decent family romance melo type drama.
