Yes! Another drama featuring Kim Rae Won xD hehe. Although I'm not too fond of the plot, I'll still give it a try; due to the fact that I like both the leading characters. x]

Sound boring to me, twin sister of dead lover??? Don't think I will download. Thought Korea drama plots have improved so much in recent months, eg.. My Girl even has one scene making fun of korean dramas always have someone has terminal disease..

When I saw Ryeo Won in MNIKSS, I thought that she looked like the type to play a leading role in a drama. But that doesn't mean I like her...too skinny...a JJH(Sassy Girl) rip-off---the stick version(sowee, I couldn't help myself).
KRW won't even do it for me nowadays. Gone were the days when he was one of my favorite actors... It must be the nightmare that are LSIH and attic cat.
I'll give it a try though, the last picture makes them look like a real couple.

He also suffered from a psychological syndrome of such as not stepping onto the sidewalk and washing hands 12 times a day.

Cast:

Kim Rae Won (Attic Cat, Love Story in Harvard)
as Choi Seung Hui

A scenario writer, film director.
He studied in a U.S. college and later specialized in film directing at a Research Institute in New York. The first short film he made won a prize in a world movie festival, and held much public attention of him as a promising director.
Just when he took the advantage of the victory to make a long drive, his life braked. It happened so suddenly. He was driving the car when he crashed into a truck. His lover died, leaving him all alone, living a sad life. He stopped all activities, not leaving his living place for three whole years.
He was born with a wily and weird temperament and his lover’s death drives him to extremes. His obsessive-compulsive disorder gets worse. He washes his hands 12 times a day, refuses to eat anything he’s not tried before and never steps onto the sidewalk
He thinks he killed her lover driving so he doesn’t drive anymore. Burying himself in guilt, he doesn’t trust anybody. And when there’s anything not going in his ways, he loses temper. He can’t stand people regarding him as unimportant.
When he’s fed up with his own self and is feeling real lonely … a strange thing happens. A young girl which looks exactly like Hyu Su appears …

Jung Ryeo Won (My Name Is Kim Sam Soon, Autumn Showers)
as Hye Su
She was introduced by Han Jeong Hun to Choi Seung Hui in the award commemorative party of a world film festival. The two fell in love at first sight. She later died in a car accident.

also as Kim Bok Sil

A girl growing up in a small village of less then 30 people, in the remote mountainous area of Kangwang-Do. To get to the nearest town, it takes more than 2 hours of rugged car travel.
Her mother was hurt in a coal gas accident and left with an IQ of a ten-year-old. Her father abandoned them and left when she was born.
Her youth is buried in a sad family and in the mountains.
Nevertheless, she fights hard against fate with her resilient and easy-going character.
Her positive attitude towards life is a result of her living in hardships. In her wild imagination, she’s a singer, a news anchor, a teacher, a man and even an American. Her dream is visiting Jeju Island (but she hasn’t even been to Seoul). She hopes she can pass the college entrance exam and enter college, wear pretty clothes as an office lady after graduation. She will travel to walk every morning by subway and buy a beautiful house with her saved salaries. She will not marry but stay with her mom forever …
However, these are all dreams far away from reality. Just when she is angry with herself being stuck in the small village forever, her life comes to a turning point. That is, she meets Seung Hui …

Park Si Hu (Let's Get Married)
as Han Jeong Hun

Seung Hui’s high school senior, grandson of the founder of a big publication company.
He inherited his corporation head position from his father who lied of brain hemorrhage a year ago.
With straight family education, he has this serious, humble and matured character.
A typical weak-outside-but-tough-inside person, he holds on tight to his targets and always wants to win in whatever he does. He has silenced out all the accusations of his ruling power out of inheritance with his ability and sincerity.
To find Seung Hui who is living alone, he travels to the remote mountains untiringly. There he met a girl who looks exactly like Hye Su, saying to him impolitely, “Uncle, your prince syndrome is real serious!” And his nice attitude just can’t help changing …
In the beginning, he’s nice to this village girl Bok Sil out of sympathy. Inside, he looks down upon her but he pretends to be polite and nice. But his pretence is exposed by Bok Sil every time and he is embarrassed. In this way, slowly … unbelievably, he falls for her. He can’t understand himself doing this. She’s a high school drop-out living in the mountains and her mother is unmarried and mentally challenged.
Then one day, he finds out that she may be the lost granddaughter of Billionaire Lee. He’s the first to notice this and …

Kang Jung Hwa (Dae Jang Geum, Let's Go to the Beach)
as Yun Mi Hyeon

Billionaire Lee’s granddaughter, cousin of Hye Su, working in film music production.
She is proud of her ability to get to her present position but she actually got help from a director working in his grandfather’s corporation.
She and her cousin Hye Su who came back after studying aboard are like real sisters. Staying close with Hye Su and her lover Seung Hui, she unexpectedly develops a loving feeling towards Seung Hui. With Hye Su’s death, she has her chance to get close to Seung Hui.
Once day, she went with Jeong Hun to look for Seung Hui who’s hiding in the mountainous area. She backed off in panic by what she saw.

Production Note
The drama focuses on the virtues of a girl. They are simplicity, frankness, selflessness and trust on people, which are long forgotten by modern people. And the story tells how people around her are changed and turned pure as well.
