Cloud Staircase

With a title like that, you'd think the Korean drama would be a flop. I thought so too in the beginning, but I find myself strangely following the series.

It's about this dude who lost his parents and kind of got lost himself. A kind elderly doctor from a remote island took him in and taught him everything about being a doctor. One day, the daughter of a well known hospital in Seoul drops by and suffers appendicitis. No one is around to operate on her because there's a brewing storm (the elderly doctor went to Seoul for something and her doctor boyfriend can't get to her) and so the dude operated on her and saved her life. During the course of healing, the girl so happens to fall in love with him and he too finds himself liking the girl (no biggie there). So he moves to Seoul and decides to work in the hospital pretending to be a certified doctor. Everyone's impressed with him in the beginning, and the girl breaks off her engagement to her long time beau to start dating him, but bits and pieces of his life start to crack and soon everyone will know that he's a fraud.

I haven't finished watching the show... not sure how it will end, but I'm sure the writers have decided to give it a happy ending.
