SYNOPSIS: Ho-sang lives
by the day and has no dream of being successful. But when
he pretended to switch places with a wealthy but unhappy man,
his life changed. The rich man died while trying to save a
child in a demolition. And since nobody knew what he and Ho-sang
agreed on, people thought that it was the real Ho-sang who
did the sacrificial act.
Ho-sang became an instant millionaire and hero but at the
expense of his identity. In order to give good life and memory
to his family, he decided not to reveal the truth. But after
Hana found out that he is rich, she basically threw herself
to him. She even introduced him as her fiancée even
if his heart admires Nam-kyung.
It was a chaotic relationship at first but eventually, Ho-sang
gets to appreciate the blessings Hana has brought him. He
got himself an instant family and a new life. Ironically,
he was able to understand the depth of life through the family's
business, funeral service.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
SPOILER ALERT :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Ho-sang found out that he is terminally ill. He does not
want to be a burden to Hana's family so he ran away. But when
Hana realized that he wants him not because of the money,
she persuaded Ho-sang to come back to her side and helped
him get through the hardship.
REVIEWS: Everytime I
see Cha Tae-hyun and Kang Hye-jung together, I see chemistry
between them. Their scenes are funny because their personality
fits them. It's like, it was written just for them and was
delivered naturally until the end.
The story was kind of "over-used" but I still liked
how they showed the "life after death". It's dramatic
and touching. There are a lot of good insights too. It also
showed how solemn and important Korean's traditional funeral
is. I'm starting to understand more and more about their culture
in this series.
What I don't understand is how Hana can communicate with
her Vietnamese friend. Actually, having to have a friend with
different nationality proves that culture doesn't matter when
it comes to friendship. Sometimes, people you least expected
understand you more. Maybe this is what they are trying to
imply.
