A Gentleman's Dignity is Sometimes the Last thing he has Left...

     Loyalty and friendship go hand in hand in this 2012 bromance romantic comedy. Kim Do Jin (Jang Dong Gun), Im Tae San (Kim Soo Ro), Choi Yoon (Kim Min Jong), and Lee Jung Rok (Lee Jong Hyuk) have known each other since high school. 

     They consider each other family and go to great lengths to help and cover for each other (the good, bad, and sometimes very ugly! HA!). They have been there for each other through heartbreak, military training, and death. 

4F (just older?)
     Kim Do Jin has two chance encounters with Seo Yi Soo (Kim Ha Neul)... but they keep missing each other... Is this destiny or just not meant to be? 

He Missed his Chance
Meet Cute (well...not for her...)
     Seo Yi Soo is the Ethics Teacher at an all boy's school and a group of her boys has an altercation with Kim Do Jin. She needs to talk with him to try and talk him out of suing her students but he refuses to speak to her (or even listen!).

Their Punishment!
     They finally meet because Seo Yi Soo's the umpire at their baseball games! He tries to get her to notice him because he recognized Seo Yi Soo as the woman that he couldn't catch and has been on his mind...
 
Homr Run?

     Kim Do Jin FINALLY figures out that the pretty (ippuda) umpire is the same teacher, of the delinquents who were harrassing Kim Do Jin and Choi Yoon! (Oh No!) Kim Do Jin is kicking himself for not giving in to her sooner...

Who is She Again?!? 
     To add more complications a boy, Colin (Lee Jong Hyun), appears out of nowhere claiming that one of the four is his biological father...?  

 Colin (Lee Jung Hyun)
     This KDrama called to me because, even though it had a lot of sweet romantic moments, it definitely had a lot of adult themes that are not seen commonly in popular KDramas. 

     Writer Kim Eun-Sook and Directors Shin Woo-Cheol and Kwon Hyuk-Chan captured great moments in these character's life and reminded us that its never to late to have fun with life and have A Gentleman's Dignity.
