    Love Story in Harvard (Korean: 러브스토리 인 하버드; RR: Reobeuseutori In


    Habeodeu) is a 2004 South Korean television series starring Kim Rae-won, Kim Tae-
    hee and Lee Jung-jin. It aired on SBS from November 22, 2004 to January 11, 2005 on
    Mondays and Tuesdays at 21:55 for 16 episodes.
    Synopsis[edit]
    The first half of the series is set at Harvard University and is mainly concerned with the
    burgeoning relationship between a Harvard Law School student, Kim Hyun-woo (Kim
    Rae-won), and a Harvard Medical School student, Lee Soo-in (Kim Tae-hee).
    Kim Hyun-woo and Alex Hong (Lee Jung-jin) are two first-year students at Harvard Law
    School, both from South Korea. Alex applies himself more and as such is the favorite of
    Professor John H. Keynes (Frank Gorshin). Hyun-woo, who initially has a hard time
    adjusting to the workload, falls into the bad graces of the professor, who repeatedly
    humiliates or ignores him. However, Hyun-woo perseveres and eventually wins the
    respect of Professor Keynes and his classmates. Both men meet and fall for Lee Soo-
    in, a third-year Korean student at Harvard Medical School. This intensifies the rivalry
    between them.
    Hyun-woo and Soo-in grow closer and eventually start dating. However, their
    relationship is short-lived as Soo-in's application to join OEP, an organization that
    provides medical care to patients in Third World countries, is accepted. After spending a
    night together, Soo-in breaks off all contact with Hyun-woo and leaves to work in South
    America, leaving him devastated.
    The second half of the story takes place mainly in Seoul, after Hyun-woo and Alex have
    graduated from Harvard Law School. Hyun-woo is now an idealistic lawyer, refusing to
    take on lucrative corporate cases and only defending people he feels have no voice in
    the legal system. Alex, who remained in the US after graduation, returns to Korea to
    take on a case for an international chemicals company, which is being accused of
    dumping toxic substances. Hyun-woo becomes involved in the same case, although on
    the side of the victims demanding compensation. In addition, Soo-in also returns to
    Korea at around the same time to conduct some medical research. Unknown to her at
    first, the research is related to the chemicals case that Alex and Hyun-woo are both
    working on, and predictably the three meet up again.
    Although Hyun-woo is still angry at Soo-in for leaving him so abruptly, he still has
    feelings for her, so does Alex.
