do everything just to see her happy and for her to become well.

But Su Ho's father came back and caused trouble leading to Eun Young's mom's death and forcing the kids to go to Seoul to look for him.

However, Eun Young's illness worsened when they got into Seoul and so she needed to undergo an operation. Su Ho did everything to find money for her operation, he even tried to steal money from people.

Su Ho didn't know that his life would change in an instant when a patient saw him and mistook him as her dead son who looked exactly like him. Because of that, in exchange for Eun Young's operation bill, he went to Canada with his new parents and has changed his identity to Yoon Jae Ha.

Fifteen years later, Yoon Jae Ha became a famous pianist and due to some coincidental circumstances, he and Eun Young met without knowing each other.

Truth was bound to be exposed however, there are other people already who tried to destroy the happy relationship between Eun Young and Jae Ha, including Song In Na.

Will she succeed? And will the lost love between Eun Young and Su Ho 15 years ago be relived?

True love really can wait even if it means waiting for more than a decade. Just like hide and seek, when you love a person, no matter how hard he hides, you will still be able to find him and he will still return in your arms.

Love can do the most silly things. Love can even kill a person or it can make someone give up what he was and start anew. But no matter how much a person has changed, when love blooms, everything will go back the way it was.

Finally, no matter how much a person got hurt by the one she loves, that strong love she feels will also make her be able to forgive.

Five stars for this series! =]
