This novel tells of two boys (well, they are actually men now, not boys) who are different moms from Jang's family. The elder brother, Jang Min Ho was born from his father's legitimate wife - Jang Dae Gwan, while Jang Min Hwan was born from the womb of a prostitute in Korea. Min Ho, his elder brother, is practically a good life and a famous journalist in America, while Min Hwan lives miserably in Korea.
When they were both children, they had lived together in Indonesia. But because of a problem Min HWan must be 'discharged' to Korea. This makes the sibling's relationship cool. Problems begin to arise when the death of their father - Jang Dae Gwan - requires these two brothers to return to Indonesia and listen to the father's will. Min Hwan who initially did not want to stay attending his father's funeral was even forced by his mother to go to Indonesia and get a legacy from his father.
Min Hwan then went to Indonesia to make his mother happy by getting inherited from his father. Arriving in Indonesia Min Hwan was very cool to Min Ho. He requested the reading of the will is done as soon as possible with the reason of not wanting to linger in Indonesia. Instead of fast, to get this legacy Min Ho and Min Hwan are required to live together in Indonesia. Min Hwan who initially refused firmly then followed his father's will because he remembered his mother in Korea who had to work as a prostitute.
The problem does not stop there, according to the will of the father Min Ho and Min Hwan also have to repeat the S1 college majoring in business to be able to get the inheritance. Min Ho who has completed his S2 studies openly refused, as did Min Hwan. But both are forced to do this father's will. Over time, the relationship of the older brother who was cold earlier, the better. Min Hwan has accepted Min Ho's presence, which in fact Min Hwan never hates his elder brother.
Especially coupled with the presence of Adena that makes Min Hwan who originally hated Indonesia and hate his brother began to adapt to stay. When Min Ho and Min Hwan begin to accept the presence of each other and love each other as brothers. A great secret is revealed. The tangled yarn in Jang's family began to unravel little by little. This makes the world Min Hwan and Min Ho seemed to be mocked by destiny.
Well, as I said, I fell in love with this novel. Starting from the background that smells of Korean elements (For sure, I learn korean little bit from this novel because you can find a lot of Korean language inside), the character of the character in it (I love Jang Min Hwan !! Min Ho is not bad. , I fell in love with Min Hwan's character for the first read), plot the story, and most importantly the style of writing Orizuka used in this novel. I do love it! Yep, from a scale of 1-5, I give this novel a 4.5 value. Although the groove used is a bit slow, but it's okay. Because in this novel the reader will be addicted to read it and guess at the beginning (It actually happen to me). FATE, the other masterpiece from Orizuka! 대박 이다!
