At this time, an eunuch comes running to the Crown Prince and informs him that Hwa Yong is found dead in a pond. Lee Gak suspects that his wife’s death is not by accident. He puts together a team to investigate his wife’s death. When the team awaits to interview a witness, a group of assassins appears and chases them.

When Park Ha (Han Ji Min) was young, her father remarried and Park Ha gained older step-sister Se Na (Jung Yoo Mi). When their parents left for work, older step-sister Se Na despised having to take care of her younger sister. One day, while younger sister Park Ha sleeps inside a truck, the truck suddenly departs. Even though Se Na sees the truck leaving, she turns around and pretends that it isn’t happening. Time passes, younger sister Park Ha is now living in America. While, Park Ha sells fruits as a sidewalk vendor, Yong Tae Yong (Micky Yoochun) sees her and feels a connection with Park Ha. Yong Tae Moo (Lee Tae Sung) appears in front of Yong Tae Young. They are cousins. The following day, the two men boards a yacht. While the boat is sailing, they have a small fight and Yong Tae Yong falls into the water. His cousin doesn’t attempt to save Yong Tae Yong and actually attempts to hide evidence that he was there. He then jumps into the water and swims away. At this time, younger sister Park Ha receives a phone call that her family has been located in South Korea. Park Ha travels to South Korea and learns that her father has just passed away. At her father’s funeral, Park Ha meets her step-mother and older step-sister Se Na. Park Ha has no memory of how she was separated from her family. Park Ha settles down in Seoul.

@zhao
for yoochun drama, i strongly recommended you to watch
1. Rooftop Prince
2. Miss ripley
about a woman who had thousand trick to make action cheat, and her world is change to improve after she fall in love with a young rich chairman (yoochun). Then, she start to leave her ambition in cheat action. Well, first look maybe you really hate with her, but in the middle of storyline you would give a symphaty to her. She was so preety. Really go0d drama, the lead female actress are so preety. . .
[Note] yochun also sing a soundtrack in this drama, title is “empty space for you” . Try to download and listen, and also lo0k for the english translation lyric, your heart would blowing, touching, want to cry, and goose bump with yo0chun voice while u read the lyric (of course with english translation).
3. Sungkyunkwan scandal
OMG, its the first drama that make me fall in love with yoochun in first sight. Actually i just kn0w yo0chun here, and he was so hands0me. After watch this i decide to watch his other drama, miss ripley. This drama is so amazing, this drama make yoochun become famous as new comer actor, the story is so funny, and romantic, you would n0t dissapointed to watch. . . Its “you’re beautiful” kdrama joseon era version.
Oh, yo0chun with his member group JYJ also sing soundtrack here.
Try to download JYJ-chajata and junsu JYJ – too love.
You would enjoy that song.
Happy watching. . .

unpreditcable story, two tumbs up. I really like it
July 9th, 2012 at 4:20 pm
I hope it’ll air in my country asap!!
July 10th, 2012 at 2:34 pm
I love this drama. Funny scenes in the middle episodes but got me crying towards the end. I really hope Bu yong was alive in the joseon era. . poor prince that he had to spend the rest of his life missing her. .while bu yong had a choice of coninue liking him in Tae yong person. .It’s unfair.
Why didn’t lee gak recognize tae mo in the modern day era? Didn’t he encounter him as General/his half brother in the Joseon day?
July 10th, 2012 at 2:36 pm
Are the facts on reincarnation for real? Fascinating! I wonder what am I in the previous life
July 10th, 2012 at 2:47 pm
I really love this drama….unfortunately Lee Gak has to return to Joseon and leave Pak Ha, although Tae Yong change his place and happy ending….but still upset to see they both separated by time…. a very funny ‘n touchable drama….highly recommended…..Daebak Micky Yoo Chun & Han Ji Min…^^
