Synopsis
Song-ju is the only son of a wealthy family. Jung-suh is Song-ju's childhood friend, and they were there for each other when one of
their respective parents passed away. They spent a lot time together, playing, and sharing their inner most thoughts. When Jung-suh's
father re-married Tae Mira, Mira brought her children Tae-haw and Yuri from her previous marriage. That marked the end of Jung-suh's
happy days. Yuri was jealous of the privileged life that Jung-suh led, and vowed to take everything away from Jung-suh, including Song
ju. When Song-ju left for his studies in the U.S., he gave Jung-suh a necklace as a gift of his love.
On Tae-hwa's birthday, Jung-suh gave him a birthday present. Tae-hwa mistook Jung-suh's kindness as love, and he fell head over heels
in love with her. Jung-suh never accepted Tae-hwa as her heart is with Song-ju, but Tae-hwa became Jung-suh's soulmate after Song-ju
left as she weathers life under the tyranny of Mira and Yuri.
Song-ju returns 3 years later from his studies and calls Jung-suh to meet him. Yuri runs Jung-suh down with her car in a mad bid to
stop Jung-suh from her rendezvous with Song-ju. In her state of panic, Yuri sends a bloodied Jung-suh to her own father's place. Tae
hwa tracks Jung-suh down and takes care for her. Jung-suh survives the accident but forgets everything about the past. Tae-hwa decides
to start life afresh with Jung-suh by giving her a new identity as Kim Ji-suh.
Song-ju thinks Jung-suh has died, and is heartbroken. He returns 5 years later with Yuri from the US. He can't forget Jung-suh, but
feels obligated to Yuri, who's stayed with him for the past few years. He agrees to his mother's arrangement to marry Yuri.
On their engagement day, Song-ju sees Kim Ji-suh on the carousel and runs madly after her, only to realize that the person with the
same face as Jung-suh has no memory or collection of her identity as Han Jung-suh, or of him Cha Song-ju. Kim Ji Suh is a fashion
designer and is in a relationship with Tae-hwa.
Song-ju goes on a mission to prove that Kim Ji Suh is Han Jung-suh. Ji Suh is confused by Song-ju's action, but she is also touched by
his actions for Jung-suh.
Jung-suh finally remembers the past and is angry at Tae-hwa for what he did. But she is torn as she is still emotionally attached to
Tae-hwa, and is touched by the care and love that he has showered her all that time when Song-ju was not there. Song-ju is also torn as
he is to be engaged to Yuri, and his family's reputation is at stake if he does not follow as planned.
Song-ju decides to give up his family business and goes against his mother's wishes to be with Jung-suh. But Jung-suh knows that one of
Song-ju's aspirations is to expand and scale his family's corporation to greater heights. She asks Song-ju to go back, and promises to
wait for him.
Unfortunately, Jung-suh finds out that she has cancer of the eye. She decides to leave Song-ju, and she takes refuge with Tae-hwa. Son
-ju is tipped off by Tae-hwa, and both men beg Jung-suh to seek treatment and fight to live despite the devastating odds. Jung-suh
eventually agrees. She has a successful treatment but she continues to be in danger should the cancer cells move to another major organ.
Song-ju invites all to his wedding, without announcing who the bride will be. Tae-hwa brings a blind Jung-suh to the wedding, much to
the surprise of Mira and Yuri. At the same occasion, Tae-hwa breaks the news to all about the accident and both Yuri and Mira are taken
away. Jung-suh changes her mind, and says "Yes" at the altar.
Tae-hwa sees Jung-suh happily married, but is sad that she is not able to see the world anymore. He decides to donate his cornea to her
but the doctors refuse to perform the operation and tell him that they don't remove corneas for implants from a living person. Tae-hwa
commits suicide in a car accident to leave his cornea for Jung-suh. Jung-suh regains her eye sight and tells Song-ju her desire to live.
Unfortunately Jung-suh's cancer cells have moved to her brain and she is dying...
