Synopsis
Once a top bodyguard in the United States, Jung-oh now lives quietly on Cheongho Island, caring for his grandmother Kkotmae, who suffers from dementia.
He had failed to even attend his mother’s funeral—the only person who had ever stood by him.
Now, his grandmother is the only family he has left.
Then one day, an American man who can’t speak a word of Korean falls straight from the sky.
And this man… shines.
He’s so breathtakingly handsome—movie-star handsome—that even the island grandmas swoon.
“Ooh, that’s my prince charming, isn’t it?”
“That’s right, Kkotmae’s prince! A real tall one too!”
Though he’s lost his memory and can’t communicate with anyone, his looks and presence alone make him the “Prince of Cheongho Island” overnight.
But soon, this dazzling stranger starts turning Jung-oh’s life upside down—
running around hand in hand with the mischievous grandmas, getting into all sorts of absurd trouble.
“[They were selling freesias on the way here. I bought them for you, Jung-oh. Not with the money you gave me—but with what I earned helping the grandmas.]”
“[……]”
“[Think of it as a bribe… so you’ll see me a little more kindly.]”
Jung-oh’s pale cheeks flush the color of spring blossoms.
And in that moment, he realizes—
the prince isn’t ruining his days.
He’s coloring them.
Even when his memories return, the prince promises—he’ll remain Jung-oh’s prince forever.
But some promises are harder to keep than they sound.
“Jung-oh. Remember our promise? That I’d never leave, no matter who I was. If you still mean it… then I’ll come find you.”
“Yeah… I trust you.”
To the one person he wanted most to protect, Jung-oh tells a beautiful lie—
and the freesias once gently embroidered across his heart are crushed beneath the weight of goodbye.
