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.
