As children, Young-Gwang meets Jane at her birthday party. His father works as a chauffer to Jane's father. At Jane's birthday party, by chance, Young-Gwang bumps into a boy named In-Woo. In-Woo's father is the vice president of a trading company that Jane's father runs. In-Woo looks down on Young Gwang.
Meanwhile, at the company, Jane's father Yoon Il-Goo (Ahn Nae-Sang) receives an unexpected visit from his friend District Attorney Oh (No Kyung-Joo). D.A. Oh mentions that his trading company is under investigation because of slush funds. Yoon Il-Goo begins to suspect his friend, company vice president Seo Jae-Myung (Son Chang-Min). On the way to Jane's birthday party, Yong Il-Goo tells Seo Jae-Myung to go to the district attorney's office. Seo Jae-Myung refuses and reaches for the car door handle. While they are struggling, the car becomes involved in an accident and falls over into a nearby body of water. The car is completely submerge in water and Seo Jae-Myug grabs a body and swims to land. Once he makes it out of the water he realizes that the man he pulled out of the car was the chauffer Kim In-Bae (Lee Gi-Yeong) and not company president Yoon-Il Goo.
At Jane's birthday party, a baseball game is organized. Young-Gwang never played baseball before, but because of In-Woo's cocky behavior takes part in the game. During the game Young-Gwang hits a home run. He then signs his name on the baseball and gives it to Jane. He also asks her to marry him one day. At this time Jane's mother receives a phone call from the hospital. Jane's mother takes Jane and drives off to the hospital. Because of heavy rains, Jane's mother gets into a car accident. Rescuers found Jane's mom unconcsious, but couldn't find Jane. Jane was thrown out of the car and loses her memory in the process.
At the hospital, vice president Seo Jae-Myung is questioned by the district attorney. At this time the chauffeur lies and says the cause of the accident was heavy rain. Vice president Seo Jae-Myung then hears the news of the car accident involving Jane and her mother. The police then calls vice president Seo Jae-Myung and informs him that a girl matching the description of Jane was found, but she has no memory of who she is. Seo Jae-Myung instructs the chauffeur to go pick up Jane and take her to a place where nobody will know. He promises that he does this, he will help to open a restaurant and take care of his children for life.
Because of the accident Jane can't remember even her own name, but she does find a baseball with the words "Young-Gwang's first home run" on it in her bag. Soon after, vice president Seo Jae-Myung takes the position of company president. The chauffer takes Jane to a distant orphanage and drops her off. Out of guilt, the chauffer tells her that her name is Jane and don't forget her name.
Years later, Young-Gwang and In-Woo both become professional baseball players. In-Woo is the cleanup hitter for a major league team, while Young-Gwang is demoted to the minor leagues due to his poort hitting. The coach of the minor league team warns Young-Gwang that he has only 2 months to raise his batting average above .200 or he will be kicked off the team.
One day, Young-Gwang and In-Woo are injured in different games and brought to the same hospital at almost the same time. In-Woo recieves all the attention, while Young-Gwang is largely ignored. Suddenly, a nurse's aide comes up to Young-Gwang and tells him that she has been his fan since he was a high school player, because of his name Young-Gwang.

Response to Nina and Loyal fan:
That is why I liked the ambiguous endings in some dramas. It allows the viewer to decide the ending and there is no wrong answer. My ending, Yoon Jane would not pick either one of the guys in order to pursue her career in nursing which was her objective in the first place. If she choose one of the guys in the future I think it would most likely be In U once they got their careers stabilized. I don't think Young Gwang would wait that long for her.
One of my favorite actors in this drama outside the leads was Kim Sung Oh. He was so great as the germaphobe, Dae Sung. I think he doesn't get credit on how good of an actor he is. He really seems to really get into his characters and makes each of them different. I would like to see him as a lead in a romantic comedy. I think he would be great teamed up with Lee Yeon Hee.

I'm agree with loyalfan_1
Love the ending of this most beautiful drama because it leaves a question. Jae In's true love is actually In U because he can give up his father and the luxurious life style for Jae In. So can we watch another 24 to 30 episodes to see a happy ending Jae In with In U .
I feel Drama shows her real love is In U َand In U's love is deep and real but the battle of rich/poor didn't let Director to show real decision َand this is disadvantage of some of Korean film. when something is correct and right so it is no difference who do or say poor or rich. I see many Korean drama and I really like them.
This the best and most beautiful modern day drama of year 2011. The story is creative, interesting and unique with some emotional scenes. Although Min Park is not my favorite actress but she really deserved credits for this awesome drama. She played her part with outstanding performance. I believed she put in tremendous effort into it. It's so much better than her previous drama like City Hunter. The character I really like is Jang Lee (In U) because he is sincere and honest and tried his best to protect Min Park (Jae In). He knows he is going to get hit by his father but he so persistence in protecting and loving Jae In with all his heart.
Can't get enough of this most beautiful drama. Would like to see a part II or continuation of this wonderful drama. Thumbs up for this drama. Would like to see Min Park and Jang Lee in another beautiful drama in 2012.

Who was the actor who played the loan shark thug at the beginning and then was part of the competing team of four? He was never credited in the page even though he played a significant role in the show.
By the way show was cute. With the did she or didn't she ending.

Honestly, this drama is little too short. PMY, when you come back for your next projected drama it should be more than 50 episodes. Before we knew it, the most beautiful drama has ended. Keep up the good work.

just watched episodes 3 & 4 this week and I really like the story. I loved it when Yung-Gwang was shocked upon learning that Yun Jane is his sister lol! He wrote in the letter that he wanted to see her(possibly a girlfriend). All the actors are performing very well, so far. The lead actors are beautiful to look at=) I think the ratings will go up as the series continues. Its just the beginning yet you feel that you have been watching it for weeks!

This drama is so far so good! I NEVER cry in dramas unless they're worth tearing up for and it's been awhile since a drama has gotten me tearing up and this drama got me.
The only likable drama from Park Min Young was Sungkungkwan Scandal. I did NOT like City Hunter and Park Min Young's character in City Hunter because that drama was so dreadful, I didn't even finish watching it. But this drama is bringing Park Min Young back up on my list now. Good luck!
SPOILER: The only thing I don't like is the usual drama thing where the "rich/high class kid" ends up poor because she-lost-her-parents-thing (and gonna find out she's from a rich/high class family later on). I usually feel more EMOTION when it's ACTUALLY a "poor/underclass kid" who finds out later about his real identity.
