Plot[edit]
From the moment they meet, Jon-young (Kwon Sang-woo) and the blind Hye-in (Kim Hee-sun) share an instant connection. Young and naïve, they believe that nothing can change their love. Life, however, pulls them in opposite directions. Jon-young is sent to Seoul, while Hye-in immigrates to America. Misleadingly informed that Jon-young is dead, Hye-in struggles to begin a new life alone. Years later, Hye-in returns to Seoul. With her eyesight restored, she is now a singer happily engaged to her producer Gun-woo (Yeon Jung-hoon). Everything changes though when Gun-woo's composer friend turns out to be none other than Jon-young. He instantly recognizes her, but Hye-in has never seen Jun-young before. When love is no longer simple and blind, can Hye-in and Jun-young still find their way back to each other? This series is a series of love, death and suspense.

Hae-in and Joon-young are always together, but they face problems with Joon-young's mother who won't stop trying to tear the two apart because she thinks her son deserves better than a blind girl. Furthermore, Hwa-Jung, Joon-young's childhood friend, grows jealous of Hae-in because she likes Joon-young who ignores her for Hae-in. Meanwhile Min-ho, the school bully, likes Hwa-jung, and thus hates Joon-young. Now seniors in high school, Joon-young and Hae-in are even more in love. But one day, Min-ho finds Hae-in alone, and with his friends, takes her to a secluded place and tries to rape her. Joon-young upon hearing her screams rushes over and badly injures Min-ho and his friends as he defends both himself and Hae-in. Joon-young’s mum, upon learning of the incident when she picks Joon-young up from the police station, kicks Hae-in and her aunt out of their home to prevent further trouble.
Joon-young tries to find Hae-in but learns she has moved to a different town. On Christmas Eve when they both return to their old hideout, they miss seeing each other by hours. Finally after a few months, they manage to reunite for a night, but the next day, Hae-in moves to New York with her aunt and new uncle. Also, although they write letters to each other, Hwa-jung intercepts any messages between the two, sending Hae-in's letters back to Hae-in. Hwa-jung also writes to Hae-in saying Joon-young is dead. Becoming suicidal, Hae-in meets and finally accepts love from Lee Gun-woo, who she doesn’t know is actually Joon-young's best friend. Gun-woo also doesn’t realize that Hae-in is the girl Joon-young has loved since childhood. Gun-woo pays for the operation to bring Hae-in's eyesight back, and one day, composer Joon-young, singer Hae-In, and music producer Gun-woo all meet again.
Everything leads to shock, realization, heartbreak, and in some ways, betrayal.
