About the Drama:

The drama starts with Han Tae-Woong (Hyun Bin), a quiet, 17 yr-old math genius, entering a prestigious high school met Kim Jeong-Kyu, who is also a genius in mathematics. Tension and rivalry immediately developed between the two, however they soon became best friends. Through their conversations, we learn that Jeong-Kyu is a big boxing enthusiast.

Meanwhile, Tae-Woong stumbles upon a little girl being bullied in the street and saves her. The girl develops a crush on him and gives him her pager so that she can see him again, but they never exchange names or contacts. They promised to meet again soon, but this never happens.

During a highly anticipated International Math Olympiad, Jeong-Kyu failed to fulfill his father's expectations in winning the first place, and committed suicide in shame. Tae-Woong, who won the gold medal, struggled from guilt, as he feels like he is partly responsible for Jeong-Kyu's death. Tae-Woong quits school, leaves home,
and disappears.

These tragic events take their toll on the rest of Tae Woong's life. At 25, eight years later, Tae Woong is now a third class boxer and in unexpected events, finds Bo Ra (Sung Yu Ri), the little girl he once knew. Although this winter will be very cold and scary, winter is not the end of the seasons, but the beginning of the hope for a greater love.

Eight years later, Tae Woong, now 25, is a nameless boxer, living a completely different life. He abandoned mathematics and pursued boxing in honor of Jeong-Kyu, but he still bears painful memories of his past.

In a chain of events he meets Bo-Ra (Sung Yu Ri), a beautiful, but cold-hearted young lady. She is the daughter of a rich businessman, but has an incurable disease. After a chain of events, Tae Woong is hired as her chauffer. They end up falling in love, but Tae Woong discovers that she was the little girl that he met eight years earlier, and that she is Jeong-Kyu's little sister. Tae-Woong struggles in pain about his relationship with Bo-Ra, and his returning memories of Jeong-Kyu.

Throughout the story the two learn to find true happiness by helping each other. Tae-Woong melts Bo-Ra's heart with love and helps her open up her heart. In return Bo-Ra helps Tae-Woong with his painful memories of the past.

Bought this drama cos my brother who's not a drama addict actually told me that this show is nice. OMG... Its should a good plot....I would have felt more touched by the show if he did not tell me about all the different parts of the show that affected him...sigh. So I half guessed what is going to happen next most of the time. Spoil spot...

Anyway its a nicely plotted show.
