Synopsis

Cha Moo Hyuk is a small time scam-artist working the streets of Australia. He was abandoned by his parents as a kid and he was adopted by a couple in Australia. Unfortunately, he was mistreated by his adoptive parents and thus roams the streets, cheating tourists out of their money when they are lost. It
is through one of these scams that he bumps into Song Eun Chae. Song Eun Chae is the fashion coordinator and childhood friend of a famous Korean singer, Choi Yoon. She sees Yoon as her life's focal point and does everything she can to please him. Yoon visits Melbourne, Australia to do a photoshoot with another famous Korean actress, Kang Min Joo, who also happens to be good friends with Eun Chae. Choi Yoon gets Eun Chae to get him close to Min Joo, as he is interested in her. It breaks Eun Chae's heart but she does so accordingly. One day, Eun Chae's luggage and money are stolen by the same band of vagrant criminals as Moo Hyuk.

Left alone by Yoon, tired, hungry and helpless, she wanders the streets aimlessly until she bumps into Moo Hyuk who, moved by her plight, helps her in a heroic action scene. When some gangsters threaten her, she is forced to spend a night with him outside on the docks. The next morning, she awakes to find her luggage and money right in front of her. Moo Hyuk managed to find the stuff stolen by his gang and return it all to Eun Chae, and with her stuff, she's happily on a plane back to Korea, when she bumps into Min Joo and Choi Yoon, who are now a couple. Several weeks later, Moo Hyuk receives an invitation for his ex-girlfriend's wedding. At the wedding, Moo Hyuk is accidentally shot twice in the head when someone attempts an assassination on his ex-girlfriend's husband. The doctor saves him but only can remove one bullet. The remaining bullet is lodged too deeply within his head such that it cannot be surgically removed. It's killing him, and he has no longer than a year to live. Moo Hyuk is dying and his ex-girlfriend now married. He's a roaming gangster and his life, an utter mess. Guilt-stricken, his ex-girlfriend gives him a huge stash of cash and tells him to go back to his native Korea to find his birth parents. He does so, and finds out that his mother is none other than the famous Korean actress, Audrey. She has a son, Choi Yoon and both mother and son are adored by the Korean people as they portray a loving relationship and are immensely popular.
Moo Hyuk is heartbroken when he even manages to enter the house of Audrey, and sees the portrait of Choi Yoon and his mother. He bumps into his birth mother for the very first time in his life, but can't help but feel so betrayed because she is doing so well in life, whilst he was suffering in Australia and now just living out the remainder of whatever little time he has left.
Full of rage, he vows revenge upon the mother and son. He starts by getting close to Choi Yoon, eventually making it to become his manager. Bit by bit, he plots to bring Choi Yoon and his mother down, but never expects himself to fall slowly in love with Song Eun Chae, the girl he helped in Australia. Eventually, Choi Yoon is struck in a car accident and he will die without a heart transplant. Suddenly, Moo Hyuk is stuck with the decision of saving his brother, or selfishly bringing them down.
Eventually Cha Moo Hyuk finds out the truth that his mother actually did not abandon him. His mother had an affair with a married man. Eun Chae's father (Audrey's chauffeur) was the one who gave away Cha Moo Hyuk and his twin sister as soon as they were born and told his mother that her child had died. Audrey was not even cognizant of the fact that she had given birth to twins. Eun Chae's father did this because thought he was "saving" Audrey's reputation because if Korean society was to find out about her affair then she would be disgraced. Audrey adopted Choi Yoon in memory of Cha Moo Hyuk, still believing he was dead.
Once finding out this out, Eun Chae's father admits to the truth, and tells him that he is willing to accept any punishment. Cha Moo Hyuk shouts at him, restraining himself from strangling him. He tell Eun Chae's father that one day he will receive one.
Cha Moo Hyuk kills himself in a dramatic motorcycle accident so that his heart could be transplanted into Choi Yoon. Before his death he calls Song Eun Chae and tells her, "I'm sorry. I love you." His heart is given to Choi Yoon, who makes a full recovery. One year later, a heartbroken Song Eun Chae goes to Melbourne, Australia, and then wanders through the same neighborhoods where she and Moo Hyuk first met, and finally arriving at his grave, lies down on the ground next to his plot and appears to sleep peacefully, despite her crying. She dies there next to a small red bottle and leading the viewer to believe she committed suicide by drinking poison. This is the apparent punishment that Eun Chae's father receives - the death of his own daughter.
