Characters

Kim Jung Woo (33 years old): An illegitimate child of a hooligan and a fisherwoman,
-JungWoo was left at an orphanage as soon as he was born. He has nothing, has no one to lean on, no hope or future in his life – he lives as a lowlife gangster. Then, the first opportunity to change his life is given to him. He saves the life of the fabulously wealthy, well-known, and powerful President Jang. For this opportunity, he is willing to throw away his soul. And he goes to Seoul in search of President Jang’s son TaeHyuk. In order to pass TaeHyuk’s “test,” he must do anything – steal, cheat, fight, and do absolutely everything to move one woman’s heart towards TaeHyuk. Surprisingly, this woman is SuHyun, JungWoo’s first love. Ever since they were young, JungWoo has loved SuHyun one-sidedly; she is the one woman who is in his heart although she doesn’t return it. She can’t even remember him from their childhood, and he watches her becoming close with TaeHyuk. JungWoo later learns that his father was a cruel, vicious man, becoming devastated and realizes he can’t approach SuHyun with his love.
JungWoo ends up taking the blame for TaeHyuk’s crime, and he goes to prison. Soon, SuHyun becomes slowly attracted to JungWoo, making TaeHyuk even more obsessive over her. Now, JungWoo must find his soul again and search for the love he lost long ago.

Lee Su Hyun (32 years old): Project manager

-In her childhood, Su Hyun (SungYuri) spent some time in JaeJu with her grandfather who owned a farm there. This was when she met Jung Woo (Ji Sung) for the first time at an orphanage. She looked into his eyes and thought that they were the most sorrowful eyes she had ever seen. However, what is the point of recalling those eyes and bringing back memories of her difficult past? Too sentimental, no time. Presently, these memories don’t have a place in her thoughts.
Tragedy strikes in Su Hyun’s life. The death of her parents and her beloved grandfather. A castle is built where her grandfather’s farm used to be. She is left all alone in the world. However, she does not lose sight of her dreams. She is stubborn and ambitious, and there isn’t a single job she does not go through in the process. She meets wealthy, successful Tae Hyuk(LeeWan); she knows that he is in love with her but refuses to think about love until she fulfills her dreams. When Su hyun earns enough money, she goes abroad to start on her journey. Once abroad, Tae Hyuk offers to give her all his support and money she needs, but she refuses because she is determined to do this on her own. With all her passion, talent, and confidence, she eventually succeeds with her first project Cirque du Soleil. Although she becomes partners with Tae Hyuk, she finds her heart being stirred by Jung Woo. She eventually falls in love with him.

Jang Tae Hyuk (30 years old)
Until he was ten years old, TaeHyuk had never seen his father before. He had a miserable life in a small village, taking care of his sick mother. However, he possessed a warm and compassionate nature. He was a dependable, gentle child – sturdy as a rock. After his mother’s death, a group of people he’d never seen before came to pick him up in a fancy car and present him to a man who called himself “father.” His father did not show any guilt or shame; his attitude was that of a rightful father. As much as TaeHyuk longed for his father, he also grows to despise him. Then one day, his father sends a boy named JungWoo to him. TaeHyuk looks down on JungWoo, a boy whom this despicable father approves of, a boy who is looking for opportune moments. Then, one day he realizes that he thinks of him as a friend. When JungWoo goes to prison and takes all the blame for a crime TaeHyuk committed, he truly feels sorry and miserable; and when he hears that his father betrayed JungWoo, causing him to flee, he is left with a heavy heart. TaeHyuk is even ready to accept revenge from JungWoo should he want that.
But nothing that has to do with SuHyun.
For TaeHyuk, SuHyun is the one woman who helps him to find his lost emotions again. She takes away his cynical outlook and puts a bright smile on his face. And it is this woman who leads him toward a newfound goal in life – to take down his father’s company and build his very own “kingdom.” She is the sole reason he goes abroad, to be with her, and she is the reason he decides to work with Cirque du Soleil, to be her partner of Asia. However, all this hard work starts crashing down with the appearance of JungWoo. He vows to ruin him.
