Hye-rin's fiance dies after the accident.

One year later, Suk-min is a Lieutenant of a crew in the Navy.  His little sister, Soo-jin, is studying to
become a doctor and wants to experience a surgery.  She begs her friend to hit her with her car and
tells her friend that she won't get in trouble for doing it.  Her friend misses, but at that instant, Soo-jin's
appendix pops.  While lecturing his troops, Suk-min gets a call and quickly rushes to the hospital.  
There he meets Hye-rin, who is a doctor.  Hye-rin's first impression of Suk-min is that he has no
manners and is conceited.  Suk-min annoys her with questions about his sister's health and drags her
to his sister's room various times when his sister is in pain.

Suk-min and Hye-rin meet again when a woman is giving birth at sea.  Suk-min's crew doesn't know
what to do so Suk-min immediately dials Hye-rin.  The woman is rushed to the hospital along with
Suk-min because she won't let go of his hair.  Suk-min is waiting and when Hye-rin appears, he begs
her to save the baby and tells her the story of his parents and how he doesn't want anyone else to feel
pain like he does.  Hye-rin at that instant starts to like Suk-min, but is angry at herself because she
promised her deceased fiance that she wouldn't marry or love another man again.  The baby is
delivered safely.  When Hye-rin holds the baby to show Suk-min, he starts to fall in love with her.  
Later when Suk-min is thanking Hye-rin, he holds her arms.  While Hye-rin is trying to pull away,
Suk-min kisses her.  While they are kissing, Seung-ha, the head doctor who is in love with Hye-rin,
comes in and sees them.  At that instant he hates Suk-min.

Suk-min starts coming to the hospital each day to see Hye-rin.  Hye-rin hides from him.  Suk-min
persists and decorates her office with lilly flowers.  Unfortunately, she is allergic to lilly flowers. As
Suk-min hands her a handkerchief, she is reminded of her first date with her dead fiance when he
bought her flowers, because Suk-min says the exact same thing her fiance did.  Suk-min is so sorry
about his blunder that he puts flowers in a glass case to give her as a present.  His troop follows along
and set off fireworks.  This again reminds Hye-rin of her fiance before he died.  Seung-ha hears the
noise of the fireworks and rushes out.  He sees the flowers and smashes them out of jelousy.  This
makes Suk-min's troop angry and they beat him up and get arrested.

Before Suk-min goes away, he makes Hye-rin hanyak (korean medicine).  As he gives it to her, she
requests that they never meet again.  Suk-mins agrees in order to make her happy.

When Suk-min is away at sea, Hye-rin worries and thinks about him everyday as she drinks the
hanyak that he made for her.

Suk-min gets in trouble with his superiors when he gets back, for jumping in to save a seaman
(Jae-hyun) who should have already known how to swim.  He forgets to call his little sister, and she
runs to Hye-rin.  Hye-rin gets worried and instead of going to visit her fiance's grave, at the last
second she changes her mind and decides to go to the dock where Suk-min should have arrived.  On
the way she sees him.  She passes by and then stops.  She starts arguing to herself whether she should
go to him or just drive away.  She ends up following him and spending the rest of the day with him,
and they learn about each other's painful past.  They get closer to each other . . .

There's another storyline in the drama.  After getting her appendix out, Soo-jin goes to a club with her
friends.  There she meets Jae-hyun who is the troublemaker in her brother's troop.  However, he lies
and tells her that he is the president of an important computer programming company.  They go out on
many dates and she finds out later and beats him up . . .

More info provided by fellow addict sangwufan4christ2184 from Hong Kong:
Soo-jin and Jae-hyun get married in the end with Suk-min's blessing, although he was fiercely resistant
at the start.

Suk-min and Hye-rin also get married in the end.  A passenger ferry catches fire and Suk-min's troup
is called to help deal with it.  While battling the fire, Suk-min inhales poisonous gases and becomes
unconcious.  He's brought to the hospital and presumed dead.  Meanwhile, Hye-rin, who has
cancelled her wedding to Seung-ha (although she thought it was her father's dying wish) because she
found out that he had indirectly killed her fiance when he gave Valium pills along with cold medicines
to her fiance causing him to fall asleep at the wheel.  Hye-rin plans to leave Korea for New Zealand.  
However, her best friend finds out about Suk-min's accident on the news and tells Hye-rin.  Both rush
to the hospital where Suk-min is. As Hye-rin cries over Suk-min believing that she's going to lose
another man she loves, he regains conciousness.  They have a Navy wedding where they affirm their
love for each other.
