Synopsis
This drama stands apart from previous dramas by reminding viewers of the importance of strong family ties through its main character, an Alzheimer’s-stricken detective Choi Jang-soo. Jang-soo decides to do his best to make his family happy after he learns that he has little time left to live. Portrayed by top stars, Chae Si-ra (who plays So-young) and Yoo Oh-sung (who plays Jang-soo), the main characters of the drama depict a true-to-life story of a married couple: a wife who holds several jobs to buy a home and her sly yet lovely husband. The couple goes through a challenging time when fund manager Jun-ho, who has loved So-young for a long time, and ex-criminal Hyun-soo, who loves Jang-soo, appear in their lives. The portrayals of Jun-ho by actor Cho Yun-woo and of Hyun-soo by Choi Yeo-jin are quite impressive. The drama honestly depicts the everyday reality of fathers who have no other choice but to neglect their families to earn the living and mothers who turn into stouthearted “warriors” who can do anything for the sake of their families.
Casting
Yoo Oh-seong - Choi Jang-soo
Jang-soo has been married to So-young, whom he met in college, for ten years. They have twins: a smart daughter and a disabled son. Scared of his role as a father, Jang-soo neglects his family duties with work as a subterfuge. One day he is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, and decides to leave only happy memories to his family before he dies.
Chae Si-ra - Oh So-young
So-young met Jang-soo in college and married him despite opposition from her parents. But after the birth of their children, Jang-soo failed to keep his promise to treat her like a princess. After ten years of marriage, So-young turns into a stouthearted woman raising two kids and running several jobs to make a living. She eventually divorces her husband and receives an offer to go out with Jun-ho, who has loved her for a long time. But she is outraged to learn later that it was her husband who tried to set them up after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
Jo Yeon-woo - Ha Jun-ho
A son of a rich and renowned family, Jun-ho has it all. But only So-young refused to open her heart to him when he met her in college. He has loved her deep in his heart all his life, even though she chose Jang-soo over him. Just when he thinks of marrying Hye-jin, a daughter of rich parents, he runs into So-young by mere chance and is dazzled by her beauty once again. He decides to give up everything for her, arousing jealousy from Hye-jin.
Choi Yeo-jin - Cho Hyun-soo
Hyun-soo ran away from home at the age of 18 and learned pocket-picking. She serves six months in prison after detective Jang-soo catches her, and ends up falling in love with him as he takes good care of her as if of his own daughter. She confesses her feelings to him after she is released from prison but she turns out to love him not as a man but as a father. Later she develops a loving relationship with policeman Woo Bo-hyun.

The KBS television drama "Invisible Man Jangsu", where a young man in his thirties battles Alzheimer's disease with the support of his loving family, and the movie "A Moment to Remember", which tells the love story of a young woman in her twenties diagnosed with Alzheimer's all have shown us how crippling the disease can be. But in reality, Alzheimer's rarely affects those in their twenties or thirties. Professor Choi Gyeong-gyu at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital says, "Recently women in their twenties to forties are coming for an examination because they are getting absent-minded and believe they have Alzheimer's. Alzheimer's patients are usually over 60 years old and young people are more likely to be forgetful". So the question is, how is Alzheimer's disease and forgetfulness different, and can you "cure" forgetfulness?
Forgetfulness is a temporary paralysis of the brain, resulting in forgetfulness. In the memory process, a glitch occurs. A slight hint could bring the mem...| More |

Last year actress Kim Seon-ah became a household name with her beguiling "girl (or woman)-next-door" character Kim Sam-soon in the phenomenal hit television drama "My Lovely Samsoon" ("My Name is Kim Sam-soon"). Besides her oh-so-real act, Kim bravely gained 8 kilograms for the role, earning the nickname of Korean Renee Zellweger.
More actresses are following in her footsteps on small screens, willingly taking on parts that are far from attractive, instead of playing typical, pretty faces.
One of the most notable is Park Jin-hee, who is starring in Seoul Broadcasting System's "Come Back, Soon Aae", opposite Shim Hye-jin.
Park is a 20-something flight attendant and has been having an affair with Shim's pilot husband. Their fates cross even more when the two women get into a car accident and find themselves in each other's body.
Park's performances as a married 40-year-old have impressed viewers; from blabbering with her friends and dancing at a sauna to making phone calls wh...| More |

Korean dramas are getting old.
Young and glamorous stars in a typical "Cinderella-like" love story that have spurred hallyu, or the Korean Wave, are struggling to hold onto the viewers. Instead, soap operas targeting the older crowd, especially the "ajumma", are on the rise.
The "ajumma" refers to the middle-aged married women in Korean, who have always been steady drama watchers with huge power over who gets to control the tv remote as well as the household budget in Korean households.
But as viewers tire of stereotyped Korean dramas with sappy, romantic themes and repetitive storylines, the young, especially those in their 20s, are turning a cold shoulder to tv.
The current trendy dramas _ "Smile Again", aired on SBS featuring such top young stars as Kim Hee-seon and Lee Dong-geon, "Great Expectations" on KBS starring Kim Jae-won and Han Ji-min, and "One Fine Day", on MBC starring Gong Yu and Sung Yu-ree _ all ended up with low viewer ...| More | | |
