to December 20, 2005 which has a total of 16 episodes.
Kang Bok-gu (Bi
or Rain) is a skilled K-1 fighter who lives in the same house with Han Da-jung
(Kim Sa-rang), who saved him from fire when they were teenagers. Due to this incident, and knowing her love
for him, he planned to marry her someday, even though he is not in love with
her. But he falls in love with the woman he hated
most. It was because of that woman that his
estranged brother attempts suicide and ending in a vegetable state.
The woman is Cha
Eun-suk (Shin Min-a) an upcoming actress, who is forced to an engagement with
Kim Joon-sung (Lee Ki-woo), heir to a large conglomerate in Korea. Bok-gu incorrectly assumes that Eun-suk is a
social climber who broke-up with his brother upon achieving success. Bok-gu blames her for his brother’s current condition
and vows for revenge.
So Bok-gu got
himself hired by Eun-suk as his bodyguard.
Using the same method how his brother wooed her (as detailed in Min-gu’s
diary), Eun-suk fell in love wih Bok-gu.
But Bok-gu finds himself falling in love with Eun-suk as well. On the day of her engagement, Bok-gu persuades
her to run away with him, but Eun-suk’s family and Joon-sung announced that she
was kidnapped. When Bok-gu was arrested,
Eun-suk acknowledged her relationship with Bok-gu, knowing how her career will be
ruined by this scandal.
Bok-gu completes
his revenge by revealing his identity to her as Min-gu’s brother and telling
her his true intention to ruin her.
Eun-suk was devastated by his revelations and even more when she saw
Min-gu’s current vegetative state. She
then dedicated herself to take care of Min-gu.
Despite of Bok-gu’s protest she continues to visit and care for
Min-gu. Later on Bok-gu discovered the
truth about their relationship and moved away to prevent Eun-suk from seeing
them again.
After a year,
Eun-suk left the showbiz spotlight. No
longer an actress, she holds a regular job while her family runs a karaoke
bar. One day, when her car broke down, she
went into the repair shop where she meets Bok-gu again. She goes to Bok-gu’s house to find Min-gu
awoken from his coma and won’t be able to speak, but recognizing Euns-suk he
was overjoyed to see her. Eun-suk
decided to take Bok-gu away with her outside the city to take care of him. Min-gu realizes Eun-suk and Bok-gu’s love for
each other, so he tried to be difficult with her. When his health relapses, before he dies he
ask Bok-gu to love Eun-suk and take care of her.
Bok-gu and
Eun-suk agrees to part ways and forget about everything. They promise to live well and to succeed in
their future career.
Joon-sung
financed Eun-suk’s last movie, released it and made her back into the limelight. Another year passes, her acting career has
taken off again and rumors spread that she’ll be marrying Joon-sung soon. Bok-gu too, earned fame after winning a
championship fight and saved money to open his own auto shop.
As Eun-suk
disappears, Joon-sung seeks Bok-gu’s help to find her. Concerned and still in love with Eun-suk,
Bok-gu goes to look for her at the place where they had spent their last day together. Trekking through the snow and miles away from
shelter, he finally finds Eun-suk. Bok-gu
tries to carry her to safety, but weighed down by her and hampered by heavy
snow, he has to stop. He hugs her tight
to warm her but they both succumb to the cold and finally reunited in death.
