Just wait mommy, I am going to give you luxury when I am going to Korea, just wait for some years.” The broadcasters where little hesitant to call him on the show which showcased the orphaned people and had a chance to get their family back.

And the story begins...

Mr. Cha arrives “Where are you from” makes a move. “Japan,” she says with a pulled face. “Really, nice to meet you, I am Japanese too, where you want to go, I’ll drop” blowing his bubble gum. “Nice to meet you too, Arigato”(Thank you) with an excitement to see a fellow Japanese. She sits in the car and theirs is a sign of relief on her face. “I am so worried because my English is so ba.. by the time she utter a single word a man from the back seat put a knife under a neck and throws her out of the car.

Ms. Eunchae is tired of explaining Ms. Kang Min Joo that love ain't a game but for Min joo love is like Starcraft. Eunchae’s phone rings “ I don’t want to live anymore " yun choi”. Eun Chae, Min Joo and Yun had arrived in Australia for shoot for few days.

Am I not good enough for her? And took a deep breath and sunk himself inside the bathtub. Eun Chae came to her rescue, but he was fussing with her. “She listens to everything you, make her mine, I believe in you,” Yun says this with a confident voice and get out of the bathtub. Eun Chae sits in the bathtub with her hands on her eyes.

Haha, No worries. He is a charmer evidently.
A good snap shot of an immigrant to another country and how is he portrayed as a different ethnicity. Enjoyed tremendously...
