Spring Day (Hangul: 봄날; RR: Bomnal) is a 2005 South Korean television drama series starring Go Hyun-jung, Jo In-sung, and Ji Jin-hee. Loosely adapted from the 1995 Japanese drama Heaven's Coins (星の金貨 Hoshi no Kinka?), it aired on SBS from January 8 to March 13, 2005 on Saturdays and Sundays at 21:45 for 20 episodes.
The series marked Go Hyun-jung's acting comeback 10 years after she retired from the entertainment industry upon marriage to a chaebol (they divorced in 2003). Largely due to Go, Spring Day became the 5th most popular Korean drama of 2005 with an average viewer rating of 30 percent.
Go Eun-ho (Ji Jin-hee), a doctor from Seoul, goes to Biyang Island to meet his father's mentor. There, he meets Seo Jung-eun (Go Hyun-jung), a silent, elusive beauty who has suffered a trauma so great that she's lost the will to speak. Fascinated and empathetic, Eun-ho helps Jung-eun find a way to overcome her past. But just when her gratitude starts to blossom into love, fate cruelly intervenes, leaving Eun-ho in a coma, caused by a car accident when driving with his long-lost mother, who died at the scene.
At the hospital, Jung-eun meets Eun-ho's stepbrother Eun-sup (Jo In-sung), who is also a doctor. Despite his best intentions, Eun-sup finds himself powerless to resist Jung-eun, and he falls for her as Eun-ho lies comatose. Later, Eun-ho does regain consciousness, but his state of mind is stuck in childhood. Little by little, he begins to regain his memory. One day as he intercepts a car, he starts to recall the past and understand that his unacknowledged pain and fear of cars resulted from his mother's death. Jung-eun, fed up with hiding the truth, tells him the shocking news that his mother died in a car accident.
