HELENA'S PROMISE (SCENT OF A WOMAN)


Main Casts
  • Kim Sun Ah as Helena Lee (Lee Yeon Jae)
  • Lee Dong Wook as William Kang (Kang Ji Wook)
  • Uhm Ki Joon as Oliver Chae (Chae Eun Suk)
  • Seo Hyo Rim as Camille Im (Im Se Kyung)
This is one of my favorite Korean drama. The story revolves on the life of an unmarried woman in her mid thirties. Helena Lee is working as a low ranked employee (as described in the series) in Line Tour, a travel agency. She's been working there for 10 years apparently, she is diagnosed with gallbladder cancer making it difficult for her to continue working. While fighting the illness she is falsely accused of stealing a ring from a client, she also have issues with her manager that makes her resign from the job.

She then decided to live her life to the fullest since she only have 6 months to live. On her first vacation alone at Okinawa Japan, she ran into the son of her former boss. William Kang is the man of her dreams so, she did everything to make William fall in love with her. Unfortunately, William Kang is already engaged to Camille Im, daughter of a well known business man. Her heart breaks that time so she went out to think and meditate, while walking around she saw an old couple dancing tango. She also danced tango and the pain becomes bearable.

Helena's doctor Oliver Chae is her elementary classmate who is also in love with her.

As the story goes, William Kang is not aware that he's already starting to fall in love with Helena.

Together they live out a series of misadventures, as Yeon Jae completes each dream in her Bucket List.


LESSON
NEVER GIVE UP! ILLNESS is not an excuse to stop the things you wanted to do. Make it as an inspiration to fight.


FIGHT FOR LOVE!
