"The Love In Your Eyes" is a drama about Young Yi, a hard-working young woman who does everything she can to help her family. She lost her husband, but still has a daughter to take care of. She meets Kyung Jun when he comes to work at the convenience store, what Young Yi doesn't know is that Kyung Jun is the owner's grandson, who is working there just to gain experience. Their meeting was not a coincidence, since Kyung Jun received a cornea transplant from Young Ji's husband.
The other characters are Hae Mi and Se Jun. Hae Mi is part of Young Yi's family, but she doesn't treat her like that, she is very jealous of Young Yi's relationship with Kyung Jun and tries to do everything she can to break them up... a real bitch.
Se Jun is a sweet man, but he is not really an obstacle for the couple, he worked as a supporting character, but he has a secret, which would make it impossible for him to be with Young Yi even if he wanted to, he was the reason why Do Jun died. Se Jun was drunk and accidentally killed Do Jun, his mother hid the crime and made it look like an accident.
The story really grabs you. At first I didn't like it very much, but as the episodes went by I got hooked and ended up really liking it. Young Yi is a woman who suffered a lot in life, she lost her husband early and had to raise her daughter alone and Kyung Jun had a very similar life, he lost his mother when he was a child, went blind and had to live with a stepmother who hates him. The two created a friendship, which turned into love and it is exactly their relationship that makes this drama good, I also really liked the way Kyung Jun created a bond with Mi Ri Nae, really treating her as if she were his daughter. He would do anything for her, he could have died when he had the bone marrow transplant, but he didn't care about that, he wanted to save Mi Ri Nae and also pay for everything his family did to Young Yi.
One of the things I didn't like about the drama was Young Yi's mother-in-law. She's the most detestable woman I've ever seen. Maybe worse than Kyung Jun's stepmother. How can she have the nerve to always throw in Young Yi's face that she was the one who caused Do Jin's death? That meeting her was the beginning of all their misfortune, that she ruined their family?! But the worst part was when she told Young Yi that it was her fault that Mi Ri Nae had leukemia. I know she apologized, but I didn't think it was enough.
The romance could have been better, but it's still the best part of the drama.
