Through coincidence, he meets Yoon Jae Myung (Lee Jin Wook), the popular former baseball player from high school, at a bar in Switzerland. Ha Jin manipulates a series of events to become Jae Myung’s best friend. Also coincidentally, he meets Oh Dan Hui (Kim Hee Sun), the girl he loved and hurt in high school. Oh Dan Hui used to play baseball on the boy’s team but now plays softball in college. Her baseball hero is Yoon Jae Myung. All three meet again in Switzerland and again back in Korea. Ha Jin starts working in Jae Myung’s father’s company and does everything to make the rich chairman like him. Jae Myung starts working as the softball coach of his father’s company’s team but then gets transferred. He falls in love with Dan Hui who’s headstrong and optimistic personality attracts him.

The first thing that caught my attention was the setting which was in Switzerland. It was such a beautiful place. The storyline was okay, the characters were good. And I would put my hands down to Lee Dong Gun for a job well done! He acted excellently on this drama! I can’t really remember how many times he was beaten to death, haha! But he’s good, he’s really good! When he’s angry, he really is. He can be good and bad at the same time. Not to mention, he has nice fingers! Hahaha! I dont really like the other guy. Sometimes he’s hot, sometimes he’s not. Looks like a fool, trying to be cute. But somehow he looked good on some angles. Kim Hee Sun is pretty, so far she’s good in this drama. But the ending? Umm I’m not really satisfied. But it’s still a good drama. If I had good English subs, maybe it would be better. You guys must watch this!

It’s strange drama. The bad character (Ban Ha JIn) can win over the good character. And the ending…. uuuuu! too easy.
I like Lee Dong Gun, but Smile Again it’s not his best performance.

Actually I think he is pretty good in this one, he can be innocent one minute, evil the next. vulnerable at first glance, fiercely obsessed beneath. I used to see him as more of a wimpy romantic, but in this one I see him has true grit. quite impressive and quite convincing. bravo!

It was ok drama for me. Nothing so fantastic

well. nice.
kinda weird though.
i wasn’t carried throughout the drama..

Yeah this drama isn’t fantastic nor bad, the character emotions changed drastically also. I’d give it a 7/10 cause, there are some parts that do pull you in but at the same time, some parts are random and plain. Also its kinda weird seeing kim hee-sun playing a more energetic person then her previous roles in sad love story and so on. But i would recommend it if you don’t want to feel to sad =p.

Oh my gosh! LDG, I cannot bear him. He’s such a hypocritical man. Poor LJW, he did not know that the one who he treated as a friend just useed him him as a tool to help that that guy have everything he wants. I don’t know that why KHS could choose that jerk instead of LJW. So disappointed! Don’t wanna watch it again.

to dwee – the ending is good.
sorry can’t divulge much as it’s not proper to tell the endings in the comment section. Could be unfair for those who wanna watch it later.
i like dong gun but just dont know why most of the characters he acts are all of ‘bad’ boys & playboys. maybe he got the look. anyway, fighting dong gun!
