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 motherās funeralāthe 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 canāt speak a word of Korean falls straight from the sky.
And this man⦠shines.
Heās so breathtakingly handsomeāmovie-star handsomeāthat even the island grandmas swoon.
āOoh, thatās my prince charming, isnāt it?ā
āThatās right, Kkotmaeās prince! A real tall one too!ā
Though heās lost his memory and canāt communicate with anyone, his looks and presence alone make him the āPrince of Cheongho Islandā overnight.
But soon, this dazzling stranger starts turning Jung-ohās life upside downā
running around hand in hand with the mischievous grandmas, getting into all sorts of absurd trouble.
ā[They were selling freesias on the way here. I bought them for you, Jung-oh. Not with the money you gave meābut with what I earned helping the grandmas.]ā
ā[ā¦ā¦]ā
ā[Think of it as a bribe⦠so youāll see me a little more kindly.]ā
Jung-ohās pale cheeks flush the color of spring blossoms.
And in that moment, he realizesā
the prince isnāt ruining his days.
Heās coloring them.
Even when his memories return, the prince promisesāheāll remain Jung-ohās prince forever.
But some promises are harder to keep than they sound.
āJung-oh. Remember our promise? That Iād never leave, no matter who I was. If you still mean it⦠then Iāll come find you.ā
āYeah⦠I trust you.ā
To the one person he wanted most to protect, Jung-oh tells a beautiful lieā
and the freesias once gently embroidered across his heart are crushed beneath the weight of goodbye.
