About the Drama

Gun and Ha-neul were siblings separated as children when their parents died. However this brother and sister are not actually biological siblings.

Ha-neul has been adopted into a wealthy family. Her adopted mother doted on her very much. Her adopted mother's love towards her made it hard to breathe and sometimes that is what kept her from leaving. Her adopted parents has a biological son, Tae Won, who hated her and snapped at her, yelling 'You're not my sister!''. She seems happy in the new family but she hides a deep secret that Tae Won had develops an obsessive love for Hye Won (15 years later), attempted to rape her.

Hyo-joo likes Gun the most, or rather she is totally obsessed with him. She even thinks that it's alright if her heart bursts and dies as long as she is with Gun. Hyo-joo has an over-exaggerated affection towards Gun. She dotes on Gun nearly to the point of suffocation. Hyo-joo also has a serious heart condition that requires the sort of medical attention that the Gun cannot afford. Gun, for his part, does not return Hyo-Ju's love romantically but does love her as a sister. He takes to a life of crime, bloodshed, to try to raise the money needed for her surgery, that she desperately needs.

Fifteen years later, Gun now lives in Australia, Gun hits upon the idea to return to Korea, to look up his long lost sister, Ha-Neul, and extort money from her adopted rich family.

When it is revealed that Ha-neul is Gun's younger sister, Ha-neul leaves her adopted family to live with Gun and Hyo-joo (Gun's father's friend's daughter).

At first she felt sorry for Ha-neul because she felt as if she had stolen her brother from her for the last 15 years, but Hyo-joo keeps feeling nervous, worrying that Gun is going to leave her.

Even though Ha-neul has decided to date Seung-kyung, she starts to realize that her love for her older brother is more than that of a sibling, while Gun tries to hide his love for her as well. They eventually express their love for each other.

Comments:

Totally love the songs of this show. Its very catchy especially when you leave the DVD playing in the back ground, you will not stop humming the song LOL.

The drama is lovely in a way cos of a girl who works at an aquarium as an aquarist, because of what her brother said. Who later reunites with her brother from whom she has been separated for 15 years and falls in love with each other. Even though the reality is that they are not blood related, so it shouldn't be a problem that they fall in love, it seems a bit disturbing....LOL....why must Korean life be so complicated?

There are lots of great scenery since the drama is shot in Australia, I wonder why since Korea has so many beautiful areas to be used. It uses many different kinds of underwater filming techniques, which reminds me I really like the scenes that Sung Yu Ri did inside the aquarium.

I get real frustrated with Hyo-joo, even though her lovely looks can easily erase all that LOL....I really do not understand what is it with her that she insisted on holding on to Gun even though she knows that he does not love her and just treats her like a sister? I guess she loves herself more then she loves him, cos she did not understand that she is making him miserable by hanging on to him and making him responsible for her. She has 3 guys that are willing to die for her. Her Dad...."Dad you would die for me right?" "Of course!''....Her brother "Brother you would also die for me right?" "Yeah, sure."....Last but not least...our lead...Gun....."Gun, die for me!" "Alright." She grew up overprotected by these three men. I wonder whether she is fortunate or not...since she can never have what she always wanted...Gun's love (as in terms of man towards a woman, even though he has brotherly love towards her)

Its strange that Kang Dong Ha seems to understand Ha-neul, who even though has always been smiling, was really crying on the inside.
