In Japan the drama began airing on cable channel KNTV in January 2008.
Several story-lines take place within the drama at the same time that ultimately all link up to one another.
Nguyen Jin Joo (Lee Young-ah) is half-Korean half-Vietnamese, working at a matchmaking service between Vietnam and South Korea, being the main translator. Raised near a temple where she was taught Korean, her father abandoned her family 20 years ago, although her mother still longs for his return. Jin Joo works hard to earn money for a cure for her mother's night blindness. However, the doctor reveals her condition to be irreversible. As her final wish, Jin Joo's mother asks to be able to see Jin Joo's father one last time before she goes blind. In an act of desperation, she convinces her clients, Jun Woo's mother Jung Han Sook and aunt Kang Koon Ja (Park Mi-sun), to take her to Korea as Jun Woo's bride in order to find her father. They both agree, finding her more suitable than the other brides. Jin Joo travels to Seoul, pretending to be Korean, and the two marry.
