Smile Again

As a child, Cho Dong-baek suffered brain damage from almost drowing, and was left amnesiac and with the mental capacity of a nine-year-old. She was later adopted by an American family and renamed Anna Laker. As a young adult, she fell in love with a Korean man, who used the English name James (aka Kim Joon), while he was studying abroad in New York, but due to personal circumstances, the two were separated. Back in South Korea, James/Joon married Hong Hye-sook, the adopted daughter of the Cho family, and had a son with her, Do-jin. Unknown to James, Anna also gave birth to their son, Carl Laker (aka Dong-hae). Twentyseven years later, the Lakers relocate to Seoul for Carl to participate in a short track speed skating competition as a representative on the American team. While his career is ended from being struck by a truck in a traffic accident, Carl decides to stay in Korea and search for his father to ask him the reason why he left them. He and Anna are taken in by Lee Bong-yi, an aspiring chef who wants to be the first female head chef, and her family.
