Bae Yongjune single-handedly
contributed to keep this drama in the number one place in viewing
rate throughout its showing and made himself the most favorite actor
to all despite their differences in age and sex. This drama revealed
a tough side of Bae Yongjune after being known to have only gentle,
well-mannered, and sentimental sides.
In this drama, he acts a character of
Sung Chanwue, who gives in his secret first love to his older brother
and tries to become "a seed of wheat" by sacrificing himself
for the family¡¯s happiness instead of going after his own ambition.
He wanders about for a while when he is in high school, after he finds
out that Hyokyung, on whom he had crush while attending elementary
school, feels dear to his older brother. He, however, makes his mind
up and returns to his own self as he decides to support his older
brother, thinking his brother (who has talent in fine arts) as Vincent
van Gogh and himself, Theo, a brother of Van Gogh.
After he caused an accident in a movie
theater while protecting his sister and then his older brother became
a vegetative state, following an traffic accident as he was chased
by Hyukyung¡¯s family due to their forbidden love, Chanwue decides
to give up his own aspiration to pass a bar examination and begins
learning a casino business for which he worked part-time to earn his
college tuition. Due to an unexpected accident to the president of
the company, he becomes a power of Daemyung Group. Then Chanwue slowly
sets up his plan of revenge against Hyokyung¡¯s father and her uncle.
Eventually, he returns back to study laws, giving up his revenge plan
and his position in the company as his older brother pleads forgiveness
for his first lover.
