I'm Sorry, I Love You (Hangul: 미안하다 사랑한다; RR: Mianhada Saranghanda) is a 2004 South Korean television drama series starring So Ji-sub and Im Soo-jung. It aired on KBS2 from November 8 to December 28, 2004 on Mondays and Tuesdays at 21:55 for 16 episodes.

Cha Moo-hyuk is a small-time scam artist working the streets of Australia. He was abandoned by his parents as a child and he was adopted by a couple in Australia. Unfortunately, he was mistreated by his foster parents and thus roams the streets, cheating tourists out of their money when they are lost. It is through one of these scams that he bumps into Song Eun-chae.

Song Eun-chae is the fashion coordinator and childhood friend of a famous Korean singer, Choi Yoon. She sees Yoon as her life's focal point and does everything she can to please him. Yoon visits Melbourne, Australia to do a photoshoot with another famous Korean actress, Kang Min-joo, who also happens to be good friends with Eun-chae. Yoon asks Eun-chae to get him close to Min-joo, as he is interested in her. It breaks Eun-chae's heart but she does so accordingly. One day, Eun-chae's luggage and money are stolen by the same band of vagrant criminals as Moo-hyuk.

Left alone by Yoon, tired, hungry and helpless, she wanders the streets aimlessly until she bumps into Moo-hyuk who, moved by her plight, helps her in a heroic action scene. When some gangsters threaten her, she is forced to spend a night with him outside on the docks. The next morning, she awakens to find her luggage and money right in front of her. Moo-hyuk managed to find the stuff stolen by his gang and return it all to Eun-chae, and with her stuff, she's happily on a plane back to Korea, when she bumps into Min-joo and Yoon, who are now a couple.

Several weeks later, Moo-hyuk receives an invitation to his ex-girlfriend's wedding. At the wedding, Moo-hyuk is accidentally shot twice in the head when someone attempts an assassination on his ex-girlfriend's husband. The doctor saves him but can only remove one bullet. The remaining bullet is lodged too deeply within his head such that it cannot be surgically removed. It's killing him, and he has no longer than a year to live. Moo-hyuk is a dying gangster whose girlfriend is now married; in short, his life is an utter mess.
