Romance

Han Yeo Reum worked in passenger service department in Incheon Airport. She was late during her first day in that department. She was a clumsy woman who tried to make thing perfect but end up making things more complicated. On her way to work, she met a guy who happened to be her colleague as well. His name is Lee Soo Yeon. Although he only worked there for 4 months, he has become the mentor for Yeo Reum even though she worked there for a year. She was not satisfied with the arrangement of her supervisor Seo Koon who assigned a junior as a mentor for her. Her supervisor told her that she seeks for competency and asked her to do her job well instead of complaining.

During her first day in work, she encountered a customer who vandalised the check-in machine for not allowing him to check-in in the counter. He broke 3 machines. When the customer was about to hit Yeo Reum, Soo Yeon stepped in and helped to resolve the issues. There was an old lady who asked Soo Yeon for help. She told him that her son has disease and he forgot to bring the medicine for him. She couldn’t enter the boarding room so she requested Soo Yeon to send them to him.  Soo Yeon asked Yeo Reum to accompany her but she insisted to follow Soo Yeon to find his son. He told Yeo Reum not to go alone as it was pretty dangerous for her safety. However, she did not listen to him. While he was checking whether there is a passenger who wore yellow shirt. She saw someone with a yellow shirt and followed that guy without waiting for him. Suddenly, the other passenger wore yellow shirt covered with a jacket attacked the officer at the gate. Yeo Reum was nearby the gate. She stepped forward and asked him to follow her to meet his mom. That passenger misunderstood her and thought that she was lying and tried to brought him to the police. When he was about to attacked Yeo Reum, Soo Yeon came on time and able to stop the incident. All the witnesses saw the iron rod bended. He quickly moved the iron rod to aside to avoid more attention. Yeo Reum recalled that during her first day of interview, she believed that the person who saved her life was him. He stopped the car from being hit with one hand. She asked him whether he can recall. He denied.

Soo Yeon has a secret. Due to a few strange things happened in the airport, he has gain attention from the staff. He tried not be low profile and distanced the people. He always eats alone and he is not friendly. One day, Yea Reum accidentally split the instant noodle with hot water in it on his hand. She was nervous and apologised to him. Soo Yeon told her that he cannot feel any pain on his hand and console her not to worry about him. Yea Reum getting more and more curious about him.

The next day, the customer service in the airport received a call from an anonymous who threatened to have bomb inside in the airport. The securities in the airport came to investigate any suspicious item that left in the airport. When Yeo Reum was carrying out her duty, she saw a strange man who placed a black plastic bag in the trash. She noticed that there are gold bars in the bag and then called her supervisor on how to settle the gold bars. The gold bars were then being sent to keep in the airport.

Soo Yeon found a teenage boy who gave a prank call about the threat. He caught him by grabbing his shirt and asked him to make a call to the police for his action. It happened to know that the family was trying to smuggle gold to Japan. Their son did not want his parent to do such a thing in order to fulfil his dream for travelling to overseas. Soo Yeon action has grabbed the attention of the Security Team Manager for his ability.

The Passenger Services team has been transferred from T1 to T2 terminal according to the order of the high rank officer. Yeo Reum thought that she was going to fire as she just came to that department only 1 week. She misunderstood her colleague for not telling her the whole story about it. She was nervous to survive there because she was the troublemaker for other departments too. It happened to know that all the team managers work in the same terminal. Seo Koon once persuaded Soo Yeon not to resign and continued to work there. She promised him that the Security Team manager won’t be working at T2. During the meeting, she was surprised to know that he was assigned to at there too. She asked Soo Yeon to embrace himself and tried to overcome his condition.

Soo Yeon changed his mind of resigning from his position. It was due to Yeo Reum whom he decided to stay a bit longer there. There was a customer who buy too many things aboard. Her luggage has been pasted with stickers. She was the daughter of the president. She went to the washroom to remove the stickers. Young Joon who is off duty saw her and made a report to the custom department. The customer then has argument with her. Yeo Reum came over to settle the argument between the two. The customer bite the Young Joon and slapped Yeo Reum. She later blamed them for causing injuries on her face and decided to sue the airport. Ye Reum was told to reveal who was Young Joon who hit the customer. She did not reveal who was it. She was nervous that she has caused troubles again. But again, she did not think that she did anything wrong or hurt the customer. The high rank officer did not listen to her explanation and yet asked her to seek for apology from the customer in order to avoid them to affect the reputation of the airport.

But this time, she was brave enough to ask the customer to apologise for her wrongdoing. Soo Yeon happened to be there to fix the water dispenser. Before the team manager, manager and Yeo Reum came to meet the customer, he recorded her conversation with her lawyer that she tried to blame the staff instead of letting the airport to sue her for not paying the tax to custom. The case was then ended. Yeo Reum and the security department became friends and hang out for beer at airport after they off duty.

There was an illegal immigrant who want to see his wife who is going to deliver a baby. The custom found out and did not permit him from visiting his wife. While the Dae Ki walking around the airport, they found that the pregnant woman was uncomfortable and looked like she was going to deliver a baby. They quickly ask medic for helps and successfully delivered a baby. However, the wife wants to meet her husband and Yeo Reum asked Soo Yeon for helps to find her husband. Soo Yeon found out that her husband has been detained and stopped by the custom from entering the country. He has no choice but unable to help them. Yeo Reum felt that it was not right for the custom to be inhumane for not letting the husband to see his wife and baby with just a few distance. She tried to talk to the custom about it. Soo Yeon informed Seo Koon about it. Seo Koon stopped her from entering the custom department. Yeo Reum persuaded Seo Koon to beg the custom department. And yes, they did but Custom still withstand their position for not permitting illegal immigrant from entering. Yeo Reum was then talking to Soo Yeon and Soo Yeon came out with a plan. He cooperated with the Dae Ki to bring the wife and baby to meet their husband. It was so touched that the custom department allow them to stay and leave the place together.

Soo Yeon tried to hide his secret about his well-being. He has gone through numerous surgeries after an accident happened 12 years ago. He became paralysed. His limb in his right arm and right leg was badly injured. Thus, he could not feel any pain. He was once wanted to give up his life but has been stopped by Yeo Reum’s dad. Seo In Woo and Soo Yeon was brothers in the past. 12 years ago, Soo Yeon wanted to return the wallet that In Woo left in the restaurant. When he found In Woo, he saw In Woo was being attacked by the gangsters. They put In Woo in the van and ran off. Soo Yeon chased the van. Soon Yeon encountered accident when the van reserved and hit him badly. In Woo left without helping Soo Yeon. Thus, Soo Yeon was so angry towards In Woo’s selfishness. In Woo felt sorry and curious about how could he be alive after the accident. He wanted to find out more about Soo Yeon. While Soo Yeon fought with the illegal immigrant, the immigrant cut his hand as he was furious that they were not letting him to meet his wife. In Woo saw the whole incident about how they fight and how Soo Yeon rescued him with just one hand.

All the staff worked in the airport received an alert message that there was a flight that was going to do an emergency landing due to one of the engines was on fire. Yeo Reum was worried about her mom's safety as her mom on board was on fire. The pilot did an emergency landing at Incheon Airport safely. Luckily, everyone did not hurt seriously. Soo Yeon knew that she was too worry. He therefore went into the plane and looked for her mom. He finally found her and treated Yeo Reum's mother first aids.  Soo Yeon revealed that he liked Yeo Reum when she asked him the reason for rescuing her mother. She was shocked and decided to explain to him that she did not want to date a colleague as it is too uncomfortable for her.

Yeo Reum was being kicked out by the owner and she has no place to stay. She placed her luggage at the storage room for a few days. However, the cleaners found that luggage. She was being embarrassed to admit that her belonging was in the storage room when her manager found out about the luggage. Soo Yeon offered her to stay at his place for a night. She was nervous and felt that it was not right for her to stay at his place since they are not dating. After Soo Yeon explained to her, she stayed there for a day until she found a place to stay.

In the next morning, while she was on her way to work, she met Young Joon who currently moved into the neighbourhood. She worried that the rumours between she and Soo Yeon is going to spread to the whole office. She brought Soo Yeon to the store room and told him not to tell anyone regarding she stayed at his place. Unfortunately, their conversation was overheard by one of their staff. The staff spread the rumours to the whole office. She was embarrassed to be humiliated by her colleague about their relationship. She thought that Young Joon was the one who spread the rumour . She went to her office and scolded her. Young Joon was angry and denied that she wasn't the one who spread the rumours and she has nothing to do with it. Finally, Yeo Reum found a place to stay. She became the housemate of Young Joon. She was so sorry about what she did in the office. She apologised to her. Young Joon told her not to ask personal questions and also not to touch the food her placed in the refrigerator.

In Woo requested the top management to investigate Soo Yeon condition whether the support device that he wore was safe for the passenger. Security Team Manager was pressured by the management to find out Soo Yeon's secret. One day, when he was being attacked by the thugs, Soo Yeon rescued him. However he was later being attacked by another thug. The Security Team Manager saw his condition and brought him to Fox Bride Star Bar for treatment.  Soo Yeon knew that his brother was pressuring him. Thus, he decided to tell him about his secret.  Security Team Manager asked whether the device is safe to use and whether has it been malfunction. Soo Yeon lied to him that the device never malfunction. Security Team Manager promised Soo Yeon that he will keep his secret for a month.

After the attack incident, Soo Yeon was away from work for a few days. Yeo Reum was worried about him as she could not contact Soo Yeon.  Soo Yeon was hospitalised at home and Mr Jung taken care of him. He warned Soo Yeon take a rest at the moment and do not wear the device until he recovered. Soo Yeon missed Yeo Reum. He saw Yeo Reum called and messaged him several times. He decided to meet her. Soo Yeon planned a date with Yeo Reum after Yeo Reum accepted his love. When he was about to drive the Mr Jung’s car, his device became malfunction and uncontrollable. His arm hit the car badly and Yeo Reum’s best friend saw the situation. He brought him back to the Fax Bride Star and saw a wheelchair in his bedroom. Soo Yeon then informed Yeo Reum to cancel their date. Yeo Reum was worried about him. Although she has many questions to ask him, she still respect his decision.

The owner of the Fox Bride Star was Yeo Reum's father. Yeo Reum wanted to know more about his father from Soo Yeon. Her parents were divorced when she was young. Ever since then, she did not hear from her dad anymore.

The Security Team Manager was curious that why Seo Koon always covered Soo Yeon's secret. Seo Koo told him that she treated him as her younger  brother. She did not want him to get hurt by people's prejudice.

Soo Yeon found himself no longer control the device. He got emotional when he encountered mood changes with Yeo Reum. His condition was worsening and Mr Jung tried to stop him from wearing the device and asked him to rest for a few days. However, he did not listen to him. He missed her and he wanted to see her. He was hesitate to tell Yeo Reum his true condition. He afraid that she might rejected him. Mr Jung created a portion that can stop the device from functioning. He gave it to Soo Yeon just in case that support device went uncontrollable. Soo Yeon planned to work there for a month and then resigned. He wanted to spend more time with Yeo Reum.

Soo Yeon overheard the conversation between In Woo and Yeo Reum. He questioned Yeo Reum what kind of favour that In Woo requested her to do. Yeo Reum informed that In Woo told her to help them reconcile the brother’s relationship. Soo Yeon was angry. His device became malfunction. He attracted those metals stick to his arm. In Woo and Yeo Reum saw it with their own eyes. They are shocked. Yeo Reum did not ask Soo Yeon a single question although she was curious about his arm. She felt that everyone has their own secret to keep and unwilling to share to others. Yeo Reum’s friend who used to bully her during her high school, worked as a travel agent. She asked Yeo Reum to give her express pass for her VIP. She also threatened her to reveal her secret to Soo Yeon. Seo Koon overheard their conversation. She got the pass for Yeo Reum. However, she advised Yeo Reum that if she was going to let her friend to threaten her, her friend will ask for more. Yeo Reum did not afraid about it. She talked to her and tear of the ticket and warned her friend not to bother her anymore.

Oh Dae Ki and Young Joon have argument in terms of their opinion. Young Joon suddenly told him that she could not work with him anymore and wanted to switch to other team in front of their junior. Dae Ki was furious and did not want to approve her request. He felt that her reason for switching is unreasonable. While their encountered a pickpocket in the airport. Dae Ki lost his walkie-talkie. An uncle purposely kept that walkie-talkie for a day. Yeo Reum found his walkie-talkie in the hands of a homeless uncle. She returned it back to him. Dae Ki want to make Young Joon happy. He asked Yeo Reum to give it to Young Joon instead of him as he want to cheer her up. Young Joon never joined dinner with her team. She often lied to Dae Ki that she had a boyfriend.  Dae Ki saw Young Joon ate alone at the convenient store although she told them that she has a date with her boyfriend.

Soo Yeon and Yeo Reum finally made a second date. They are so excited for their date. Soo Yeon waited Yeo Reum at the park with a wheelchair. Yeo Reum was on the way to leave the airport, she saw an accident happened at the information counter. There was a guy with a knife who was the boyfriend of one of the staffs. He threatened her with knife and grabbed her uniform. Yeo Reum stepped in to stop the guy from hurting the staff. She was unfortunate that the guy accidentally cut her hand. She was bleeding a lot. Young Joon and Dae Ki came over. Young Joon taken care of Yeo Reum while Dae Ki arrested the guy. When Dae Ki was transmitting message to the officer, the guy hit him with his head and ran off. Dae Ki and other teammates lost him. Young Joon informed Soo Yeon about Yeo Reum’s condition. Soo Yeon was shocked and angry. He hated himself so much that due to his disability, he was unable to save someone that he loved. He went to the airport with his wheelchair to understand the situation. He was angry to heard that the guy hurt Yeo Reum. He looked for the man with wearing his support device. He found him at the internet café with the information gathered from his girlfriend. He beaten the guy badly and bring him to the airport men toilet. He called Dae Ki to come over. Dae Ki was shocked to him. They brought him for treatment and later to the police station. The CCTV has captured an unknown guy dragged the guy to the toilet. From the Security Team Manager and Seo Koon perspective, they knew that it was Soo Yeon. However, Seo Koon denied about it. Mr Jung scolded Soo Yeon not to abuse his device for something bad. He asked him to live normal and not to be emotional. Yeo Reum’s mom sent her daughter home and taken care of her. Her best friend and Soo Yeon came over her house to visit her. Yeo Reum’s mom asked Soo Yeon about he and her daughter’s relationship. Through the conversation, Soo Yeon told her that her husband has rescued him from giving up his life. He was thankful about it. Yeo Reum’s mom invited her best friend and Soo Yeon to come over to have breakfast. Seo Koon told Yeo Reum that she was worried about Soo Yeon and also told her that he beaten the guy who hurt her. Yeo Reum received a message from the police station to give a statement about the incident happened. When the guy met Soo Yeon, he was afraid of him as he knew that he was the guy who beaten him. The guy was one of the thugs that In Woo involved. Chief thug informed In Woo about Soo Yeon and asked him to release his men. In Woo refused because he has no authority towards that matter. The Chief thug asked his men to investigate Soo Yeon background. Soo Yeon invited Yeo Reum to his house. He shown him his true self to Yeo Reum. She was shocked to see that for the first time.

Yeo Reum did not know how to respond to Soo Yeon. She seeks opinion from Young Joon and her best friend. Her best friend told her to be her true self and asked whatever questions towards him. Even though Soo Yeon may be different from others, she willing to accept him as her partner. Soo Yeon condition has worsened. Mr Jung begged Soo Yeon not to wear that device anymore, and asked him to see doctor. He knew about how serious Soo Yeon situation after seeing his blood report. Soo Yeon was so stubborn. Although he also noticed the changes in his body, he refused to tell Yeo Reum about his condition. Soo Yeon has nose bleed a few times. Mr Jung has no choice but talked Yeo Reum about his condition. Dae Ki parents and grandparents came over the airport to celebrate his birthday. His parents and grandparents seemed to like Yeo Reum. Young Joon was jealous. She told them that she already had boyfriend, they stopped questioning Yeo Reum.

After listening to Mr. Jung, Yeo Reum was upset and don’t know how to persuade him to remove the support device. During working, Yeo Reum did all the works without letting Soo Yeon to involved. He found her acting in a weird way. The weather condition was bad. There is a heavy fog happening. Most of the flight delayed due to low visibility. All the department was busy taking care of the passengers. They sent food for them. After weather condition better, Soo Yeon asked Yeo Reum what was going on with her and did Mr. Jung told her anything. She has no choice as she is not a good liar. She told him that she met Mr. Jung last night and they talked about him. Soo Yeon was angry and went to the restaurant to meet Mr. Jung. He told him that he did not mind if he was going to die, he just wanted to live as a normal person. He did not want to sit on the wheelchair ever again. While he was sitting on the bench, a gang of gangster (the gangster that once punched In Woo 12 years ago) tried to fight with Soo Yeon. The head of security found something about In Woo and he advised him to seek for help if he faced live and dead situation. In Woo worried that their plan will be affected. Therefore, he called the chief gangster to settle the mess.  In Woo’s father was sick and Soo Yeon informed In Woo to visit his father at Medical Centre.

Soo Yeon was badly injured after fighting with the thugs. He waited Yeo Reum on the way home. She was shocked to see him injured. She treated him before she went home. His condition became worse and worse. He kept having nose bleeding. That’s shocked Yeo Reum. He quickly went to the toilet to stop the bleeding. Suddenly there was a gang of thug entered the toilet. She was worried that something bad might happened to him. She called Mr Jung for help. Mr Jung brought Soo Yeon’s medicine and a potion in order to stop him from using his support device. Yeo Reum also informed the Dae Ki and Young Joo regarding a group of thugs entered the toilet. Dae Ki went to the toilet and saw nothing except for the walkie talkie. Dae Ki asked the airport staff to look into the CCTV to find they location. They found them and went to the car immediately. Soo Yeon did not want his staff to get hurt. He asked them to leave the scene and let him go with them. Dae Ki did not want to until another group of thugs approached them. The head of security gave an order to Dae Ki to leave the scene.  The head of security sent a letter to their CEO regarding their meeting with director Kwon. They knew that Director Kwon was not a good guy. The CEO and In woo were nervous. This matter has been known by Seo Koon. She was very angry and against the idea of privatised the airport. The head of security also told In Woo about Soo Yeon disappearance. He was calm and told Seo Koon and the head of security that he will bring Soo Yeon back and let him go with them. The head of security called his friend who is a policeman to follow the Chief Gangster.  Dae Ki overheard the conversation between In Woo and Chief Gangster. He was then followed In Woo to the destination.

While In Woo went to the scene to meet Chief Gangster to release his brother Soo Yeon. They punched them and dragged In Woo to the jetty in order to throw him into the sea. Soo Yeon was also punched by the gangster, however he managed to fought with them and went to rescue In Woo.  Dae Ki was surprised to see Soo Yeon successful fought the gang all alone. They went to jetty. In Woo saw Soo Yeon came to the jetty. He no longer turned his back like last time. He tried to rescue Soo Yeon, unfortunately, when he drove the car, he nearly caused the car to drop into the sea. Soo Yeon managed to drag the car in order to save his brother with one hand. Everyone was shocked the see that. Soo Yeon knew that his brother always cared for him even though he always spoke badly to Soo Yeon. Due to he used too much of the strength, Soo Yeon was exhausted and fainted when he was on his way home with Dae Ki. Mr Jung treated him and Yeo Reum spent the night to take care of him. 

Mr Jung told Yeo Reum to stop Soo Yeon from using the device as that would harm him. She was undecided. She spoke to him about removing the device and received treatment in oversea. Soo Yeon wanted to give up treatment and asked Yeo Reum to treat him as a passerby. Yeo Reum did not want to. Soo Yeon tendered his resignation letter to See Koon as he knew that he did not left much time to spend with them. Although Soo Yeon and Yeo Reum spent sometimes together happily, she was really upset that his may dead. She wanted to inject the portion to Soo Yeon so that he can continue to live. Soo Yeon finally agreed to listen to her and received treatment in oversea. After having treatment for a year, they met each other at the airport.

The plot of the drama is really new and yet attracted my attention. I enjoyed watching this drama. However, I dislike the ending of the drama. It just ended too quickly. I wish to know how Soo Yeon and Yeo Reum spent their time after coming back from oversea. I wanted to see how Dae Ki and Young Joo relationship progress.

Terius met Young Tae and found him suspicious. The twins dirtied the bag that worth 100,000 dollar. Ae Rin was shocked and wanted to buy the same one to compensate the company. She asked her neighbours for help. As per her neighbour investigation, she found that that bag was not a very expensive one and warned Ae Rin to be careful for the company she worked for. Ae Rin also started to suspect the company. While Young Tae was away to Milan to brought that bag, she sneaked into the secret room in her boss office. She found that there are many bags with different code. She looked into her boss’s computer and curious about the numbers. She took pictures of the bag and codes. When she left the office, she found the late Head of National Security passed by and contacted Terius about her investigation. Terius was worried about her safety and asked her to come to him quickly. Ae Rin was later being kidnapped by Young Tae and Terius came to rescue her.

After questioning her, Young Tae decided to let her go has she knew nothing about the bag. But due to she ignored his command and entered the secret room, he fired her on the spot. Terius fetched Ae Rin and she was surprised that he knew where she was. He lied to her that he was a fortune teller who know what will happen in the future. (He actually put a trace device in her handbag in order to know her location) He also asked her to keep this incident from anyone in order to ensure the safety of the family. 

Since she has lost her job, she was desperate. Terius asked his Yoo Ji-yeon to hire her work at the King's shop. King's shop was just a shop that do not have the intention to do business. Their purpose is to investigate the J International 's crime. Ae Rin told her neighbour that she has been hired. Her neighbours were so concerned about her new job and afraid that she might work in a strange company again. They followed her to her workplace and decided to help the company advertise their bags. Terius and his team were in there monitor them via CCTV and they found the way they act were weird. The next day, there are many customers came to the shop. Yoo Ji-yeon were surprised and not happy about it. Ae Rin's boss gave her a second chance to work in his company and she refused it. Terius checked the horoscope from time to time. It was the enemy message transmission secret. He knew about the horoscope and noticed that the location in this round was the King Castle Apartment (the place where he lived). He was so worried about Ae Rin and afraid that the same incident might repeat as what has been happened in past three years ago. Ae Rin and other neighbours were shocked about his action. Yoo Ji-yeon realised that the NIS has a spy. Terius told his team that he suspected Young Sil from NIS was the spy that caused the operation failed. Young Tae was suspicious towards Terius. He investigated him and told Ae Rin about his other name. She was shocked when she called his other name. What more shocking was her current boss Yoo Ji-yeon also know Terius very well.

She asked her boss about Kim Bon real name. When she realised that what Kim Bon and her boss told was different. She began to curious and wanted to find out more. Ae Rin also asked her neighbour to find a suitable babysitter for her. Young Sil and her personal assistant came to the King Shop to look for Ae Rin. She started to question her neighbour about Ae Rin (she was away and asked her neighbour to look after the shop for her). Ae Rin thought that she wanted to hire her, but her neighbour told her that the name card that she gave was a fake one as no one picked up the phone. Young Sil informed the syndicate that J International has been exposed. One day, when Ae Rin collected the electricity bill from the mailbox, she was shocked that the bill was over 2000 dollar. She found it weird for the shop that only operate during day time and all the lights are closed during night time. There could be some reasons for the electricity bill to be that expensive. Thus, she decided to went to the office and find the secret door behind the shop. She was really shocked to see 3 of them in the secret operation room.

Kim Bon told her about their real identity as NIS agent and asked her to keep it secret about their operation. Ji Yeon at first wanted to fire her, but she later changed her mind. She wanted to hire her work as an informant to assist the team. Kim Bon did not want Ae Rin to involve in the operation. Ae Rin on the other hand wanted to help them out. Ji Yeon also told her that Young Sil was actually chasing for Kim Bon, asked her to beware of Young Sil. Kim Bon also spot-checked Ae Rin whether she was capable to escape when there is someone followed her. She eventually passed the test. Ae Rin learnt to drive from Kim Bon as she had not been driving for such a long time. It was really shocking for Kim Bon to teach her driving. J International has been destroyed by the cleaner “Magician”. The Magician also looking for Young Tae. He quickly escaped and stayed hiding. He kidnapped Ae Rin at the construction site. Kim Bon and the team went to rescue her. While he was on the way to rescue her, Kim Bon had been chased by Young Sil. He managed to escape from them, however, he had been shot by the Magician. Ae Rin was rescued by Yi Jeon. Before they arrived the scene, they saw Kim Bon jumped off the bridge with injuries. Ae Rin drove to the seashore and rescued him from the sea. While they went for rescuing, Young Tae took this opportunity to escape from Ji Yeon. Ji Yeon gave Ae Rin a mission to take care of Kim Bon for a week. Kim Bon thanked her for rescuing him. However, he left his resident and Ae Rin was worrying about him. Ji Yeon explained to her that he was doing so is to protect their safety. Although Kim Bon was away from home, he always watching over Ae Rin and the twins. Yong Tae asked Ae Rin to pass the message to Kim Bon in order to meet him. Before Kim Bon arrived, Young Tae has been attacked by the Magician. Kim Bon quickly brought him to hospital for treatment. Fortunately, he was still alive. He revealed the secret about J international to Kim Bon and Ji Yeon. But, they missed the pen drive that contain the evidence about the Magician. It has been taken by the Twins. The KIS noticed that there is some suspicious person around the neighbourhood. When the cops saw them, they quickly ran away. One of Ae Rin neighbour suspected that her husband has affair with another woman. She asked Ae Rin’s colleague to hack his phone to check up. They heard about their conversation but has no idea what are they talking about as they spoke in English. They only knew a few words such as place and time. The neighbours went to the café and met the woman. The woman told his wife that they are negotiated about his husband salary for the transfer to USA.

Suddenly, Ji Yeon and the team received a call from the hospital. They believed that the enemy is trying to do a man-made virus to attack the city. When Ji Yeon mentioned about “Cors Project”, Ae Rin recalled that she had heard that word before. She brought the computer that record the conversation between the woman and her neighbour’s husband.  The team found the husband’s location which is the school where Ae Rin’s twins were there. They are having a health care talk in the hall. Ji Yeon informed Kim Bon about it and Ae Rin went to the school to rescue them.

All the students and parents ran out of the hall after received a call from Ae Rin. The Health Minister also quickly asked to clear the hall after the police told them about the terrorism. Kim Bon and Ji Yeon managed to come to the school and stopped the terrorism from taking place. When their terrorism operation failed, both of them being killed by the magician before the police brought them to police station for investigation. Ji Yeon was shocked and surprised to see the incident happened in front of her eyes. Young Sil investigated Ae Rin and noticed that she has connection with Kim Bon. She caught Ae Rin as a bait for Kim Bon to show up. After knowing about it, Kim Bon decided to use death protocol to end Young Sil’s desire to catch him. Ji Yeon and their director told Kim Bon their strategy and how they can help him to escape. While they are sending him for interrogation, the van stopped at a point that wasn’t being planned. Luckily, Kim Bon managed to escape within several seconds.

Ji Yeon thought that Kim Bon was dead. She reported back to their director and also informed her teammate and Ae Rin about it. Ae Rin was upset. She decided to resign and moved to Jeju Island and stayed with her parents. She worked at a café nearby the beach. One day, Kim Bon shown up and she was surprised to see him. She brought him over her house. Her parents treated him nicely and allowed him to stay over. Her father was fond of him that he was good at everything.  Kim Bon later returned to Seoul. He went to meet his fellow teammate to inform them that he is still alive. They are happy to see him. Ji Yeon told Kim Bon that Young Tae went missing after knowing that Kim Bon has past away. Kim Bon wanted to find out who is trying to kill him and who is trying to save him.

When Ae Rin was about to sell her house, her neighbour called her. She found a flash drive in her child room. She looked up the flash drive and saw the evidence about the killer who kill the political people. She asked Ae Rin for help. Before Ae Rin met her neighbour, it was too late. The magician already took the flash drive from her. Ae Rin quickly told Ji Yeon about the flash drive. She was so angry that they did not tell her the truth about her husband’s death. Young Tae apologised to Ae Rin and he will pay for his sin about it. Young Tae thought that Kim Bon was dead. He followed the advice that Kim Bon told him before which is to identify the people behind the CornerStone. He was invited to a restaurant to meet the person behind the Cornerstone. Young Tae lured him by surrendering all the handbags that used for bribe to powerful people of the nation. The team gave Young Tae a special spectacle can that allows them to see the incident happened during the conversation between the two. They are shocked to know that the person behind the Cornerstone was the presidential secretary. Ji Yeon asked Ae Rin to get into his house as a housekeeper in order to know the house layout. His house was fully equipped with CCTV and highly secured. It is difficult for Kim Bon and the team to enter the house successfully in order to find the evidence. Ae Rin passed the hiring test. The chief housekeeper shown her another routine for exit when the test ended. However, she was chased by unknown person. It is fortunate that that person was Kim Bon. Ae Rin was given a code name Alice.

Although Ae Rin only worked as housekeeper, she was only allowed to work in kitchen. However, she managed to find ways to put on the camera on the vacuum. It is a wise idea to capture the layout of the house as the vacuum will move around the house. The chief housekeeper was the only one who can enter presidential secretary’s study room. It was so lucky that they managed to find the safety box that used by presidential secretary. While everyone was on operation, Ji Yeon’s supervisor went to the King’s bag operation room. He found out that Ji Yeon and the team was doing something without his acknowledgement. He saw the handwriting of Kim Bon and knew that he was still alive. He asked Ji Yeon and the team to come to King’s bag immediately. Young Tae followed the presidential secretary to the airport in order to find Kim Bon secret café in Switzerland. While they are on the way to airport, the presidential secretary received a call. He then asked the driver to return back to his house. Young Tae found something a miss and decided to contact the team via phone.

The chief housekeeper has a weakness which is handsome guy. She became misjudgement when she faced Kim Bon. She allowed him to enter the presidential secretary’s study room. Kim Bon took this opportunity to open the safety box and steal the evidence. Suddenly the alarm alerted. Kim Bon passed the envelope with evidence to Ae Rin and asked her to escape from the house immediately. On the other hand, Kim Bon fought with the Magician.

When the Magician was about to shot Kim Bon, Young Sil came to the house on time. Kim Bon was injured and sent to the hospital under Young Sil supervision. Young Tae was the informant of Young Sil. He informed her to rescue Kim Bon. Before he cooperated with Young Sil, he tested him with a tarot card to see whether she was involved with the Cornerstone. She knew nothing about it and Young Tae was then trusted her. Young Sil told Kim Bon that she overheard his supervisor’s conversation regarding the explosion of the van. She was the one who asked the officer to pass the key for Kim Bon to escape. Kim Bon only knew that his supervisor was the spy. He worried about Ji Yeon who was going to meet their supervisor. She faced a car accident when Kim Bon contacted her. Kim Bon was upset. He and Young Sil went to his supervisor office to arrest him. His supervisor knew that they already know his identity and informed presidential secretary to escape. While he was trying to clean-up all the evidence, Kim Bon arrived at his office.

When his supervisor was being sent to R3 for investigation, they found out that the officer that in-charge for the sending his supervisor was actually their counter partner. Kim Bon quickly informed Young Sil but it was too late. They managed to escape from the truck.  Kim Bon and the team missed them.

The presidential secretary called Young Tae for meet up. Young Tae told Kim Bon and the team about it. They want to use this opportunity to lure them in order to catch both presidential secretary and his supervisor. Things did not go as smooth as it is. Young Tae was shot and both of them take this opportunity to escape via boat.  His supervisor has a pen gifted from his IT staff. When the pen is activated, they will be able to keep track on their location. Thankfully, when his supervisor used the pen for writing, they activated it. They managed to catch them on the spot while they were trying to escape.

A year has been past. Kim Bon fulfilled his promise by giving Young Tae a new identity. He opened a café and worked as a barista. Ae Rin found a new job. She was surprised to see that Young Sil was going to hire her to run the King’s bag. The King’s bag still operated as it is for emergency purpose. Ji Yeon was fully recovered. She went for a trip with her teammate. Kim Bon went to Poland to complete his mission. He shot the gunman “Magician”. Ae Rin was instructed to complete a mission given by Young Sil. While she was waiting at the Namsan Tower with a bag, she met Kim Bon. They opened the bag together and saw another mission was given. They mission was to pretend to be husband and wife in order to carry out the duty.

I find this drama was very interesting and funny. I enjoyed watching it. It was like watching James Bond kind of drama. It cast and storyline was great. I wish I watch the season 2 for this drama. Hope to see more interesting drama in future.  All the best.

However, both of them has been separated for 10 years. Although her brother promised her that they will meet each other on the bridge every 15th of the month. Her brother failed to fulfil his promise. Lee Yul’s father was then become the King of the nation. Lee Yul could not get the reason why his father has to steal the throne from his brother. His relationship with father was really bad.

Crown Prince started to investigate who was the one who poisoned him. Through his findings, he found out that the crown princess was the one who wanted to kill him. He wanted to know the reason why she wanted to do so. He questioned the doctors and found the nurse. When the nurse was about to confess, she was being attacked by arrow in front of the Crown Prince.

Crown Prince did not spend a single night with Crown Princess before. He happened to know that Crown princess got pregnant when she kept postponing her body examination. He warned the crown princess to confess her wrongdoing. When he was about to tell his father about this case, the King only concerned about the people who resent him for the drought. He felt disappointed and followed his father order to conduct the ritual.

Crown Prince ordered all the 20s woman to get marry in order to prevent drought. Everyone was forced to marry by the end of the month. Crown Prince was being attacked and he nearly died. He was being rescued by Hong Shim’s father. He has lost his memory. Hong Shim’s father persuaded him that he was Won Deuk who has just finished his military service. Before Hong Shim was being punished, they managed to present on the court and get married on that day itself. He did not want to marry at first, but due to Hong Shim (I-Seo) begging him that she did not want to become a concubine of the old man. Won Deuk has no choice and he also wanted to help Hong Shim. Although they are husband and wife in the eye of the public, they slept separately. Hong Shim wanted Won Deuk to work but he has no other skills. He failed in every job offered for him. Hong Shim suggested him to do all the dirty, dangerous work and he refused. The way he acted seems like an abnormal people in the eye of the villagers. He even was being cheated by the loan shark to borrowed 30 yang to decorate his house. Hong Shim was furious and forced him to work to pay back the money that he borrowed.

Hong Shim found that Won Deuk actually know how to read. She asked him to read for people and help to transcript the books for the bookstore as a way of earning money. From time to time, Won Deuk started to care for Hong Shim. Won Deuk got jealous when Hong Shim hugged her brother in the market. He kept asking Hong Shim who he really is, however, Hong Shim’s answer did not satisfy by him. They started to grow affection towards one another. He also worried about her safety when a gang of men kidnapped her. While he was trying to save Hong Shim, Won Deuk accidentally recall an illusion when he was being attacked by arrows. He was hurt by the gang and Hong Shim worried about him.

The powerful old man in the village was the one who instructed the gang to kidnap Hong Shim. He told the governor to capture Won Deuk when they received a poem in the morning with threatening words. Won Deuk has no idea why they captured him. He asked a little boy to ask Royal Inspector for help. The governor threatened him to shoot an arrow to prove that he was the one who sent the poem. If he did not do what he told, he will kill Hong Shim. Won Deuk could not recall that he was skillful in arrow shoot until he holds the bow and arrow. Due to his injury on his arm, he nearly shoots Hong Shim. Hong Shim was surprised that Won Deuk knows to read, fight and arrow shooting. She started to wonder who he really is. She decided to ask her dad who Won Deuk really was. Won Deuk also curious that Hong Shim know how to read and can speak both standard and dialect language. Hong Shim’s brother finally found the Crown Prince. His mission is to kill the prince as a return for sparing his sister life.

While Won Deuk bought a pair of shoes for Hong Shim in the market and asked Hong Shim to meet him at the barley field, Hong Shim’s brother shoot an arrow to Won Deuk. Hong Shim wanted to tell him that he was not Won Deuk, but she could not say so. She arranged a date for Won Deuk to visit his village so that he can know his true identity. Hong Shim’s brother met her and wanted to bring along her to leave the place. She told her brother that she needed some time to say goodbye to her friends and family. Her brother knew that Hong Shim has been married to the Crown Prince. He told her that he is not suitable for her. Her brother brought a fake hand to the Vice-premier (the one who killed I-Seo’s family) and asked him to release him since his duty has come to an end. After Hong Shim’s brother visited Crown Princess (Vice-premier’s daughter), he was being shot by arrow.

While the governor tried to find the clue that the crown prince left for him, he sneaked into the crown prince chamber. He and a maiden have been caught. During the interrogation, the Vice-premier purposely raised the anger of the governor and he volunteered himself to find the evidence that the queen had placed a talisman on the crown prince chamber. The Vice-premier wanted to put the blame on the queen as she instructed someone to kill the crown prince. He wanted to shift the attention to deposed the queen and Prince Seowon for talisman the crown prince. The King was being pressured in the hall and unwilling to act to depose both of them. The Vice-premier threatened the King to follow his advice and wanted to take control of the nation. His intention is to make the King as puppet in order to control the country. He even revealed that the crown princess was pregnant and the baby will be the successor of the King after Crown Prince declared dead. During the meeting regarding the corruption case of a governor in village where Won Deuk lived in, the minister suggested to find someone to replace the governor. The King has no choice but follow the vice-premier suggestion to send the Governor Jung to be the governor in that village.

When the governor arrived at the village, he saw Hang Shim. He was in love with her when she arrived at Han Yang every 15th of the month at the bridge. He thought that he could married with her and wanted to thank the vice premier. He was disappointed when he found out that she has been married. He came to that village and sent the gift from the King to Won Deuk. He has a weakness which is he is bad at recognising people’s face. When he confronted with Won Deuk, he was unable to recognise him. Won Deuk wanted to know his true identity and asked Hong Shim why she lied to him. Hong Shim apologised to him and she found herself in love with him even though she knew that it was a fake marriage. Won Deuk felt that his name is related to Lee. He asked Hong Shim to list all the name that he came to his mind. Won Deuk followed his neighbour to send gift to the King. When he arrived at the palace, he found it familiar and wanted to ask the governor about his identity. Hong Shim’s brother was nearly killed. When he was awake, he heard about the news regarding the presence of the crown prince in the palace. He searched for the crown prince and finally found him. He attacked the Won Deuk in the forest at night. Won Deuk was aware of his presence and asked him about his true identity. Hong Shim’s brother told him to assume that he has passed away in order to avoid more people getting hurt.

After coming back from Han Yang, the Crown Prince decided to become Won Deuk and stayed beside Hong Shim. He started to learn how to chop the tress and twist the rope. He has improved a lot and his father-in-law was fond of him. The governor came to visit Hong Shim and asked for her favour to help him investigate the rich old man in the village. Won Deuk was jealous when his neighbour told him that Hong Shim and the governor spoken in private when he was away to Han Yang. The governor wanted to make friend with Won Deuk but he refused. He told him his intention of getting the trust of the nobleman in order to investigate a case. Won Deuk gave him some advice. They arranged an arrow practise for that rich old man to take revenge on Won Deuk who shot him earlier. Won Deuk was stunt when that old man shot him as if he recalled that he had received arrow from the ministers. Hong Shim told Won Deuk that she decided to leave the village with her brother and stayed hiding for the rest of their life. When the Kisaeng came to visit the governor, she told him about what is going on in the palace and informed him about the rumours that the crown prince was alive. When he read a contract, he noticed that the handwriting of Won Deuk is the same as the Crown Prince. The governor went to meet Won Deuk to confirm that whether he can read and write. He was curious when Won Deuk pretend to be illiterate. Won Deuk also suspicious about the governor regarding what he is trying to find out about him.

During the festival, Won Deuk promised Hong Shim that he will marry her and stay by her side. Hong Shim was later being captured by her brother to a safe place when he knew that the Vice Premier came to Songjoo Village to look for the crown prince. When the King is about to instate Prince Seowon as the Crown Prince, the Vice Premier brought Yi Yul came to the palace. The installation of new Crown Prince has been cancelled. The Vice premier was happy and tried to manipulate the Crown Prince to support him due to he has lost his memory. Hong Shim’s brother told her about Won Deuk true identity. Hong Shim could not forget him but has no other choice. They planned to move to a rural area that nobody can find them. The governor knew where Hong Shim and his brother are. He helped Hong Shim and brought her adopted father to visit her. He also went to the palace and informed Crown Prince about Hong Shim well-being.  He asked the Crown Prince to forget everything happened in Songjoo village in order to protect Hong Shim them. The Crown Prince’s behaviour has changed. He was not as arrogant as he is before. He found himself alone as all his people has been changed by the vice premier. He missed Hong Shim. He went to Songjoo village again to visit her. He managed to meet Hong Shim as she was on the way to pack her stuff from her house. She asked the Crown Prince to stay away from her. The Crown Prince asked the governor to protect Hong Shim. The governor returned the secret letter back to the prince and asked him about the riddle.

Hong Shim’s brother went to Han Yang without the notice of her. She went to find her brother there. Chinese envoy came to Hanyang. The Crown Prince did cannot remember what he did in the past with the envoy. The envoy wanted to test whether he is the real Crown Prince or not. He asked him to write a poem like they did in the past. Suddenly, someone came to interrupt their discussion. Young master of envoy went missing and the Crown Prince decided to find him himself. The young master has been kidnapped by thug who is believed that the queen was behind it. Hong Shim went to rescue the Young Master (who is actually a woman who dressed like a man). The Crown Prince saw it and believed that Hong Shim and the governor will bring her back to palace. The young master actually went to visit her lover. As the banquet going on, the envoy was unhappy that the crown prince did not find her. Before the banquet ended, the young master came back to the palace. The envoy apologised to the Crown Prince and advised him to gain his memories back. He told him that during their last meeting, they are talking about how his father-in-law intention rather than poem. He advised him to be caution about his father-in-law. Hong Shim’s friends in Songjoo Village happened to know the true identity of Won Deuk. The Prince realised that the governor had feelings towards Hong Shim. When the prince saw the Daenggi embroidery, he remembered about I-Seo. He went to the bridge and confirmed with Hong Shim her true identity.

Governor Jung brought the Crown Prince to meet his Eunuch Yang (who served the prince for the past 10 years). He was unable to speak as the vice premier asked someone to cut his throat. Luckily, he was alive. He told the prince what had happened after the incident. He asked the prince to find his journal to regarding what is going on before he encountered the accident. The prince was unable to recall where he placed his journal. Eunuch Yang recalled his journal name ‘Silence’. With the given riddle, the prince and the governor solved it and found where the journal is. They also created a scene in order to let the vice premier to believe Governor Jung that the journal has been destroyed. After reading the journal, the prince got to know who is trying to kill him. The child that carried by the crown princess was belong to Hong Shim’s brother. The vice-premier found out about it. He asked her daughter not to run away with him. In fact, he wanted her to stay at the palace and be the queen of the nation in future.

The Crown Prince told the King that the Vice-premier was the one who tried to kill him. He wanted to take revenge on him by himself. He needed a plan for it. Governor Jung was surprised to meet his fellow villagers came to his house. The villager’s complaint to him that the richest man in the village said that vice-premier was asking for firewood during the summer and he has giving the villagers troubles to collect them. Crown Prince went to visit Hong Shim and told her that he will keep his promise to marry her. One day, the Crown Prince went to the Vice-premier’s house. He was not in the house, thus his son brought the Crown Prince to his father’s room. The Crown Prince noticed that there was a rock in the cupboard. However, that was not an ordinary rock. The Vice premier suspected that the Crown Prince has gained back his memory. The Prince also know about his plan who which to start the war.

When there is news about the war occurred in the Northern, the ministers told the King that Ming started the war to the enemy by using their arrow. Thus, the enemy thought that Joseon people attacked them. They then captured Joseon people as captives. During the meeting in the palace, the Vice Premier suggested the Crown Prince to resolve the issue in the Northern. The Crown Prince followed his recommendation even though the King and his friends tried to stop him, because they knew that it was a trap set by the Vice Premier who tried to kill him. They know that the Vice Premier was the one who provided the arrows to the Ming so that the enemy can put the blame on the Joseon. Crown Prince rescued an assassin captured by Vice Premier. He knew that he was the person who tried to kill him. Hong Shim meet her brother coincidentally when the prince released him, the prince only know that he was Hong Shim’s brother. Hong Shim’s brother told the prince the reason why he has to kill him and also his relationship with the crown princess. Although the prince was furious, he was yet to release both of them and let them fled from the palace. Unfortunately, the Vice Premier managed to stop them and he even killed Hong Shim’s brother. He dragged his daughter back to the palace. The prince was surprised to see the crown princess went back to the palace.

Hong Shim saw her brother’s corpse and she was so upset about it. She decided to make the vice premier to pay for his sin with the help of her brother’s comrade. They overhead his plan and told the crown prince about it. The crown prince managed to capture him. When he was about to attack the crown prince, he has been shot dead. The King released the crown princess and her brother to Songjoo village as ordinary person. They lived quietly and peacefully there. The crown princess delivered a baby boy. The reason why the crown prince remained her live is because the baby was Hong Shim’s nephew. He did not want to kill them.

1 year has been past. The nation still experienced the drought season. The minister suggested the crown prince to marry. The King also arranged many minister daughters for him but he was not interested in anyone of them. The King was worried about his son marriage. Governor Jung suggested the King some idea. He told the prince that he decided to went to the Songjoo village and married off with someone that he loves. The prince was jealous and quickly went to there too. Hong Shim’s status has been reinstated but she preferred to live in Songjoo village. She was still running the solution agency. The prince asked her to look for his books that covered with red cloth. She searched everywhere and finally she has found it. She read his diary about her. She was touched and decided to see him. They meet at Hong Shim’s house. The prince proposed to her. Their friends wished them well. It was a happy ending.
