Shinhwa Group is shown to be one of South Korea's largest conglomerates and is headed by the strictly arrogant Kang Hee-soo. Her son Gu Jun-pyo (Lee Min-ho)
is the leader of F4, the most popular and powerful boy group at the prestigious Shinhwa High School. Yoon Ji-hoo (Kim Hyun-Joong),
So Yi-jung
and Song Woo-bin
- Gu Jun-pyo's friends and rich heirs in their own right - are all members of the group. When F4 bullies a boy to the verge of suicide, the poor but vivacious Geum Jan-di (Ku Hye-sun)
saves his life and receives a swimming
scholarship to attend the High School. Geum Jan-di's family runs a dry cleaning
business and she lives in a small home with her parents, Geum Il-bong and Na
Gong-joo, and her younger brother Geum Kang-san.
Immediately, Geum Jan-di dislikes her wealthy classmates and is disgusted by the obsession surrounding the F4 boys .
Irked by her strong-headed nature, Gu Jun-pyo singles
out Geum Jan-di to bully but she stands up to him and he begins to fall in love
with her. Meanwhile, Geum Jan-di develops feelings for Yoon Ji-hoo. She soon
discovers that Yoon Ji-hoo fosters a one-sided love for Min Seo-hyun, a
successful model and his childhood friend.
After Yoon
Ji-hoo leaves the country to pursue a relationship with Min Seo-hyun, Geum
Jan-di begins to grudgingly spend more time with Gu Jun-pyo. He declares to the
school that she is his girlfriend. Shortly afterward, Geum Jan-di's friend Oh
Min-ji drugs her at a party and takes pictures of her lying unconscious in bed
with a guy. When the photos are leaked in the school, Gu Jun-pyo is outraged
and believes that Geum Jan-di has been cheating on him. Subsequently, his fans
and crowd of adoring classmates begin to bully and abuse Geum Jan-di. Oh Min-ji
secretly discloses to Gu Jun-pyo of her involvement with the photos. It is
revealed that they have been classmates since kindergarten, and that Oh Min-ji
has long been trying to win his attention by undergoing cosmetic plastic
surgery. Gu Jun-pyo shuns Oh Min-ji for betraying her friend and rushes to save
Geum Jan-di, who is attacked by bullies. He apologizes for doubting her and their
bond grows stronger.
Yoon Ji-hoo returns, causing Geum Jan-di to feel confused about her feelings. While Gu Jun-pyo relentlessly tries to shower her with affection, she is increasingly distracted by Yoon Ji-hoo. During a weekend trip on a private island, Gu Jun-pyo walks in on her sharing a kiss with Yoon Ji-hoo and he expresses his hurt in a rage.
The next morning, he leaves the island and becomes reclusive, causing Geum Jan-di to feel guilty. She realizes that she is in love with him and declares this when Gu Jun-pyo feigns an accident. In the meantime her best friend, Chu Ga-eul
bonds with F4 member So Yi-jung and she develops a crush on him.
When Kang
Hee-soo learns of Gu Jun-pyo and Geum Jan-di's relationship, she executes
numerous attempts to humiliate Geum Jan-di and her family due to their social
status. Geum Jan-di perseveres and finds a friend in an overly-helpful model,
who helps her earn money by modeling for a magazine. This angers Gu Jun-pyo as
he feels hurt by Geum Jan-di seeking help from someone else. When she is
kidnapped by the model, it is revealed that he is the younger brother of the
student whose suicide Geum Jan-di had prevented, and he seeks revenge. Gu
Jun-pyo arrives alone and the model has him beat up in front of a tied up Geum
Jan-di, but they are rescued by the F4 members in time. However, in this
incident Geum Jan-di hurts her shoulder, which prevents her from swimming in
the future.
After Gu
Jun-pyo's father falls ill, his mother forces him to begin training to lead
Shinhwa. He leaves the city, turns cold toward his friends and Geum Jan-di, and
begins to accompany his mother for formal arrangements. After 6 months, Geum
Jan-di and F4 pursue him and try to convince him to break free, however he
turns them away. Kang Hee-soo plots to keep the distance between them and
arranges Gu Jun-pyo's engagement with the heiress Ha Jae-kyung. Geum Jan-di
approaches Gu Jun-hee, Gu Jun-pyo's loving older sister, to help her find work
and she becomes Gu Jun-pyo's personal maid. It is evident that both Gu Jun-pyo
and Geum Jan-di still love each other, however Ha Jae-kyung falls in love with
Gu Jun-pyo and tries to win him over. She soon realizes that it is futile, and
during the procession of their wedding, she refuses to marry Gu Jun-pyo and
expresses that she will feel guilty that she was standing in the way for a
meant to be relationship.
Geum Jan-di
and Gu Jun-pyo reunite, however due to her friends being threatened by his
mother, Geum Jan-di leaves the city after spending loving moments with him. Gu
Jun-pyo is heartbroken and meets with a car accident while trying to save Yoon
Ji-hoo life that causes him to lose his memory of Geum Jan-di. Encouraged by
her mother to pursue her heart, Geum Jan-di returns but is saddened that Gu
Jun-pyo cannot recall who she is. After asking him to try to remember her name,
she jumps in a pool as he watches, causing him to be flooded by memories of
them saving each other from drowning. He calls out her name and rescues her and
they unite once again. Although he asks her to marry him, they decide it is
best to pursue their individual dreams first. Gu Jun-pyo leaves for America,
where he furthers the Shinhwa group and becomes a successful businessman.
Four years later, it is shown that Geum Jan-di and Yoon Ji-hoo have graduated medical school, while So Yi-jung is a successful architect and returns from Sweden for Chu Ga-eul, who has become a teacher.
Gu Jun-pyo arrives in a helicopter and proposes to Geum Jan-di at the beach side; the rest of the F4 arrive at the same time and they all walk alongside the beach, smiling happily.
