Kim Tan (Lee Min-ho) is a wealthy heir to a large Korean conglomerate called Jeguk Group. He was exiled to the U.S. by his brother Kim Won (Choi Jin-hyuk), who tries to take control of the family business. While in the States, he meets Cha Eun-sang (Park Shin-hye), who went there to look for her sister. Despite being engaged to Yoo Rachel (Kim Ji-won), a fellow heiress, Kim Tan soon falls in love with Eun-sang. When Kim Tan returns to Korea, his former best friend turned enemy Choi Young-do (Kim Woo-bin) begins picking on Eun-sang to irritate Tan. Tension ensues when Young-do also falls in love with Eun-sang, and Kim Tan is forced to choose between his responsibility of pursuing the family business or love.
This is the typical rich guy poor girl story. I find this storyline is a bit too common. I also feel that Park Shin-hye continues to make herself very pitiful and undecisive in the middle of the story, when the male family opposed their relationship. I think I have watched too much such stories already. There are so many recycling plots that I don't find this drama appealing to me. In fact, I didn't complete the entire drama.
With all the flaws, the drama reminded me that at one point in my life, when I was much younger, both me and my partner love blindly, truthfully, sweetly. We went from bliss to pain; to stay together to let go of each other and it has improved our love prespective as a person. Whatever love moments have happened are just part of my life experiences.
