Cha Moo-hyuk is living in Australia when
he takes two bullets to the head for the girl he loves, even as she
is about to marry another man. The doctors are able to remove only
one bullet, and Moo-hyuk has a limited time left to live. The girl he
took a bullet for gives him money and sends him back to Korea, to
keep him safe from her jealous new husband. Before he leaves, he
meets Song Eun-chae, assistant to famous singer Choi Yoon, and saves
her from thugs. They part ways, and Moo-hyuk then decides to try to
find his birth mother in Korea, thinking she must have abandoned him
because she was too poor to keep him. He discovers his mother is the
rich and famous actress Oh Deul-hee, and she has another son who is
none other than Choi Yoon, Eun-chae's longtime crush. Moo-hyuk is set
on vengeance, but this means crossing paths with Eun-chae and going
after her love. Will Moo-hyuk be able to finish his revenge before he
dies? What will Eun-chae do to save Yoon?
*I knew this was a sad drama going
into it, but it did have a few funny, lighthearted moments. It is an
older drama, so it has some cheesy cinematography that is typical for
the time period. It is extremely slow-moving and has a weird start.
Again, this is in the early days of kdramas, so a lot of these
earlier ones are still finding their footing. If you want
a good cry, watch this. Otherwise, take a pass and watch something
without a doomed male lead. I won't watch it again.*
