Synopsis

From the moment they meet, Joon-Young (Kwon Sang-Woo, Stairway to Heaven) and the blind Hae-In (Kim Hee-Sun, Goodbye My Love, Tomato) share an instant connection. Young and naive, they believe that nothing can change their love.

Life, however, pulls them in opposite directions. Joon-Young is sent to Seoul, while Hae-In moves to America. Misleadingly informed that Joon-Young is dead, Hae-In struggles to begin a new life alone. Years later, Hae-In returns to Korea as a singer happily engaged to her producer Gun-Woo (Yeon Jung-Hoon, Yellow Handkerchief). When love is no longer simple and blind, can Hae-In and Joon-Young still find their way back to each other?

Related Facts

This drama was originally supposed to have actor Song Seung Hun play Gun-woo. However, a draft-dodging scandal involving Song Seung Hun broke out, causing him to enlist in the military service. On short notice, Yeon Jung Hoon was selected as Song Seung Hun's replacement to play Gun-woo. That is why the Photo Album for this drama (which is on sale at YesAsia) contains photos of Song Seung Hun instead of Yeon Jung Hoon. The storyline was also different originally. However, it was revamped days before shooting because Song Seung Hun had to leave the series.
