My December 2025 recommendation

Watched this for my Recommendation Challenge from š‘½š’Šš’š’š’Šš’š‘®š’‚š’. Yet another drama that I’ll never gonna touch if not because of Recommendation Challenge & ViolinGal.

Let’s start our review…

Story about Hae Jo, a man cast out by his family because of his unknown parentage.

The story follows Hae Jo, a man who was cast out by his family because of his unclear parentage. Hae Jo was born with the help of a fertility clinic. But due to a terrible mistake, his father’s sperm was mixed with another donor’s. As a result, Hae Jo is not biologically his father’s son.

Now, as an adult, Hae Jo runs a ā€œservice-for-hireā€ agency—basically a jack-of-all-trades. He’ll do any job (as long as it’s not murder) for the right price.

One of his clients is a bride who wants to escape her wedding. She hires Hae Jo to kidnap her during the ceremony. He succeeds, but they get into an accident on the way and end up in the hospital. There, Hae Jo receives devastating news.

He suffers from multiple vascular malformations in his brain—14 enlarged, fragile blood vessels tangled like a ticking time bomb. They could rupture at any moment. The doctor gives him only three months to live. The condition is hereditary, which pushes Hae Jo to make a decision—he wants to find his biological father before he dies.

Determined to find his ā€œrealā€ father before he dies, Hae Jo sets out on a final journey.

Along the way, he does something unexpected: he kidnaps his ex-girlfriend, Jo Jae-mi, right from her own wedding.

Jae Mi, who grew up as an orphan, has always dreamed of having a warm and complete family. She broke up with Hae Jo in the past due to their conflicting life goals and Hae Jo’s unresolved trauma.

Now, just as she’s about to marry into a prestigious, traditional family, she receives crushing news: she has premature menopause. Her dream of becoming a mother—and building the family she always wanted—is shattered.

She hesitates about going through with the wedding. After all, her fiancĆ©'s family is highly traditional and places great importance on bloodlines and offspring. Jae Mi’s marriage is only approved because her fiancĆ© lies to his mother, claiming that Jae Mi is pregnant. Without that lie, the marriage would never have been accepted.

And now, If they find out she can’t have children, the marriage really won’t be happening.

So when Hae Jo suddenly shows up and whisks her away, Jae-mi fights back at first. But over time, her doubts about the wedding grow. And Hae Jo… he’s there for her again—attentive, familiar, real.

Slowly, she starts to waver. Should she go back to the life she planned? Or stay with the man who once loved her unconditionally?

Hae Jo takes Jae-mi with him to search for his biological father. From medical records, he knows there are three possible candidates. So together, they visit each man—trying to subtly test DNA, searching for the truth.

But they’re not the only ones on the move.

Meanwhile, both the groom from Hae Jo’s previous job and Jae Mi’s fiancĆ© are chasing them. Turns out, the groom isn't some ordinary rich guy, he’s connected to a gang. And having his bride kidnapped in front of everyone? That’s a public humiliation. His pride is wounded. Now, he’s out for revenge.

So Hae Jo and Jae-mi are on the run—searching for a father, facing the past, and rediscovering each other—all while time is running out.

Now the questions…

* Will Hae Jo finally find his real father? And how will that reunion feel—will it bring peace or more pain?
* What will Jae Mi choose in the end—returning to her fiancĆ© or going back to Hae Jo?
* How will her fiancĆ© & her fiancé’s family react when they find out the truth about her condition?
* Can two broken people heal each other, even if time is short?
* And ultimately, will Hae Jo find peace before his time runs out?

That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoilers. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ Simple story yet offer us many life lesson we can learn
+ Proof of first love is not easy to forget. Haha…
+ Jae mi’s fiancĆ©'s love & devotion for Jae Mi.
+ What a funny relationship that eventually happened between Hae Jo & Jae mi’s fiancĆ©
+ The support friends that Hae Jo has around him.

Overall I'm quite happy to watch this drama…
