Storyline

Lee Tae-seok (Go Soo), Hong Ji-yoon (Kim Min-hee), and Kim Min-soo (Yeo Hyun-soo) are best friends in high school. Tae-seok, the son of divorced parents, lives with his father. He and his best friend Min-soo both fall in love with Ji-yoon. For this reason, Tae-seok hides his love for Ji-yoon. Unfortunately for Min-soo, Ji-yoon returns Tae-seok's feelings. One day, Min-soo witnesses a kiss between Tae-seok and Ji-yoon. Feeling betrayed, he commits suicide in front of Tae-seok. Seven years later, Tae-seok is a serious CF producer and has a new best friend named Yoo Dong-hwa (Park Jung-chul). Incidentally, the woman Dong-hwa wants to marry is Ji-yoon, Tae-seok's first love. Fate has once again toyed with Tae-seok as Ji-yoon is reintroduced to him as his best friend's girlfriend. In another twist of fate, the woman who now loves Tae-seok is Min-soo's sister. Tae-seok must make a decision between the two women, but does not want to make the same mistake he made 7 years ago. However, Dong-hwa soon discovers Ji-yoon and Tae-seok's past, as told by Min-soo's sister. Dong-hwa can't help but feel betrayed, just as Min-soo did in the past.

Production

The original title was "Loving You". As a result, the theme song of the MBC drama Romance (2002) was changed in a hurry because "Loving You" appeared in one passage. Song Hye-kyo was planned to appear in this series but she rejected, citing that it was not polite to appear in this series which had the same time slot as MBC drama Ruler of Your Own World (2002) which she rejected. Initially, Ryoo Seung-bum was planned to star in this series, but when he considered filming problems, Park Jung-chul replaced him.
