## Synopsis

Falling for Innocence (2015) is a South Korean romantic comedy drama series created for JTBC, a single-season run of sixteen one-hour episodes. Jung Kyung-ho plays Kang Min Ho, a successful but cynical investor who has long cared only about money after his uncle seized the family company. When a sudden heart transplant leaves him inheriting a warm and compassionate heart, he begins seeing the world anew and falls for the kind Kim Soon Jung, played by Kim So-yeon. Yoon Hyun-min and Park Young-kyu round out the principal cast of corporate rivals and family figures. The engine of the series is the tension between Min Ho's newfound tenderness and the demands of a cutthroat business career, with each episode weaving boardroom maneuvering around quieter romantic moments. Set in contemporary Seoul's corporate world, it is a lighthearted k-drama that balances chaebol power struggles with gentle, hopeful romance. Its tone is breezy and sincere, with wistful warmth and a comforting arc of personal transformation. Fans of My Love from the Star, Pinocchio and Boys Over Flowers will find resonance in its blend of romance, comedy and a self-centered lead softened by affection.
