Plot
Bong Woo-Ri (Kim Sae-Ron/Hwang Jung-Eum) was a bright 9-year-old girl, but she didn't have a name or a father. Her mother was also deaf. Nevertheless, there were good people around her like Bong Young-Gyu (Jeong Bo-Seok) - a man who loved her mother and was also mentally deficient. The Young-Gyu lived with his elderly mother and his son Bong Ma-Roo (later played by Nam Gung-Min).
Bong Ma-Roo was an honor student who was insecure about his foul-mouthed grandmother and his mentally deficient father. To make matters worse, his father married a woman who was deaf. Meanwhile, 9-year-old Bong Woo-Ri was elated that she finally had a family and a name. Tragedy soon struck when a fire occurred in a factory where their deaf mother worked. Their mother died in the fire and their father was taken into police custody because of a frame-up . Ma-Roo left his sister and said he would come back. Now, Bong Woo-Ri, her grandmother and father awaited his return.
Meanwhile, Dong-Joo (Kang Chan-Hee/Kim Jae-Won) lived with his grandfather, mother and stepfather. His grandfather owned the company "Yoo-Kyung," but the company was run by the step-father due to the grandfather's bad health. By chance, Dong-Joo met Woo-Ri. He promised to teach her how to play the piano. To keep his promise, Dong-Joo attempted to sneak out at night once. During this time, he saw his step-father allow his grandfather to die. An accident then occurred that resulted in Dong-Joo permanently losing his hearing. At the funeral for his grandfather, Dong-Joo's mother learned that her husband cheated on her and even fathered another child. Dong-Joo's mother also learned that the other child was Bong Ma-Roo. The mother then hid Dong-Joo's loss of hearing and took him to live overseas. For revenge, Dong-Joo's mother also took Bong Ma-Roo with them. While living overseas, Bong Ma-Roo changed his name to Jang Joon-Ha. Dong-Joo also learned how to read lips and, because of this, could act as someone with normal hearing. Everything was set. The three of them returned to South Korea and Dong-Joo now attempts to return the company to his mother and exact revenge upon his stepfather ....

This was a wonderful drama; did not care the ending as much but overall, it flowed and had a story to tell. There were no love triangles, per se, which I hate. Even though Dong-Joo's mother had an ulterior motive for taking Ma-ru; she never mistreated him. Not saying what she did was right/wrong but it was understandable! The acting by all was phenomenal!

One of the best and heartwarming Korean drama series I have ever seen. It truly touches human hearts as well as difficulties and struggles in life that Love cannot surpass... in any relationship. I congratulate all that is behind this drama... a must see of families because it gives us a picture of the real meaning of family.. that it is not confined in blood relations but on how one accepts the other and opens himself/herself up to that person to be part of his/her life. Forgiveness, unconditional love, acceptance, and what is more touching is the drama's perception and sensitivity to people who are physically challenged. I love the treatment and process of acceptance of someone who is shut off from sounds and voices for all his life and someone who is branded as "foolish" but, these two people represents in their character portrayal that what seemed to be lacking in them are not "lacking" at all because they are so capable of what it takes to be truly human, that is, someone who can love and forgive... unconditionally... God bless... i hope that more dramas like these will be produced.

Excellent drama! The well written script held my attention for the 30 episodes. The actors all did a very good job. Kudos to all three of the young actors (Kang Chan-Hee, Kim Sae-Ron, & Seo Young-Joo) for their strong performances.

Super interesting drama, and I thought that dramas with a lot of episodes are boring. I watched 6 episodes already and I'm really satisfied. But I guess we'll have to wait for more episodes to see if this is going to be as good as it's start. Fingers crossed. Well, as for now, I really recommend everyone to watch it...♥
