This is quite watchable. Kim Ha Nuel is beautiful as a fresh face Go Mi Yeon, who is career minded.
She used to live in America with her boyfriend who died in an accident living her alone and pregnant.
But her misfortune only continued because before long she miscarried her baby.
Alone in America, she suddenly felt the need for a baby, which she can love so completely.
Zhao Liyan at that time was in America and studying arts. He had a best friend who was strapped for cash and was known to enter any money-making scheme to make ends meet.
One of these lucrative enterprises was to donate sperms.
Unfortunately, during the clinic appointment, this friend had a hangover so he begged Zhao Liyan to pretend as him and do the business of donating his sperms.
Zhao Liyan would not agree at first but in the end, he took pity on his friend.
Ten years later…
A nine-year-old boy was sitting in front of his mother OB-Gyn doctor and asking all questions about how he was conceived and who was his father.
Even when it was explained to him that his father was just an anonymous donor, the boy continued to question the doctor, who had been in-love with Mi-Yeon, about the donor’s whereabouts.
As the boy, Tae Bong, was not getting any joy, he distracted the doctor and plugged in his hacking device into the doctor’s computer.
The young boy was a genius. He got all the information he wanted and went about locating the donor.
Tae Bong went to an apartment and found the donor, but he knew instinctively that he was not his father.
Somehow the boy found the address of the real donor.
The intrepid Tae Bong packed his bag and was ready with his passport. (Where did he get the money? Did he steal his mother’s credit card/s)
He went to the airport and was on board the plane to China in no time.
The doctor called Mi Yeon about Tae Bong and when she turned up at the clinic, the supposed donor was with the doctor. The man explained that her son came to see him.
Anyway, Mi Yeon immediately knew that her precocious son had done something. As soon as she got home, she saw his little note.
She flew to China.
Tae Bong was so resourceful for a nine-year-old, he was able to find where Tae Bong lived. He knocked and introduced himself to his unsuspecting father.
He threw the boy out.
The boy slept on the flat’s veranda. When he woke up he just saw his father leaving in his motorbike.
He gave chase, while his mother was just getting to the apartment herself.
The father was so surprised by the boy following him that he was destructed and had an accident. He ended up in the hospital, where the boy patiently waited for him to be treated.
When they left the hospital, the boy was still sticking to Zhao Liyang like glue. So he took him to the police station and left him there.
Meanwhile, Mi Yeon was told by the neighbours that Zhao Liyang was the son of a hotelier.
Mi Yeon went to the hotel and created such as scene screaming for her son and Zhao Liyang. Zhao Liyang’s father had a talk with Mi Yeon, who confirmed that Zhao Liyang was the father of her son.
The person most ecstatic about a new member of the Zhao family was the Liyang’s grandmother.
She took matters into her own hand when Zhao Liyang finally arrived. Zhao Liyang said that he left the boy with the police.
Zhao Liyang and Mi Yeon immediately went to the police and therefore missed their son’s escape and return to the flat.
The grandmother found the boy at the doorsteps and she looked after the boy while the parents were out.
Anyway, when they had finally met up, Liyang’s father ordered that his son should take Mi Yeon and her son to the airport for the next morning flight back to South Korea.
The three were in the airport but all the seats in every airline had been taken and there was a waiting period of three days for the next available flight.
Mi Yeon and son had to go back to the hotel.
At that moment, the grandmother had decided that the family should have a family bonding in their old ancestral home. She invited Mi-Yeon and her son to go with them.
Mi Yeon was reluctant at first but the grandmother had a quick word with her saying that now that her son had met his father, it would not just end like that. It would be better for the father and son to know each other a little bit more.
They did have a good time and Mi Yeon and Liyang surprisingly got along well.
But Liyang’s father was still suspicious of the Mi Yeon and her son.
The grandmother had tired herself so much that she collapsed and ended in the hospital.
The father then insisted that Mi Yeon and her son leave for South Korea asap, which they did.
Behind the scene, Liyang has had a pending case against plagiarising his exhibition from another artist.
The case was heard by the court and it was found that it was the other artist who copied Liyang’s work after Liyang’s father testified.
Mi Yeon and Tae Bong are now back in South Korea and to normal life.
Tae Bong had a choir presentation for parents and who would suddenly walk in.
Liyang appeared. All three are all smiles…
It was a very watchable film, quite fast-paced and interesting.
