Agreeing that the time has come for them to go their separate ways, Jeong Yeol and Na Ra head to the courthouse to make their separation official. Leaving the courthouse with a 30-day divorce settlement period, the once-happy couple now has a month to settle things between them but an unexpected car accident on the way home leaves them both with a severe case of amnesia.

🌟Forever Young🌟

Many of us had dreams when we were younger about the the life we want to lead when we grow up. For Jang Geu Rae (Im Siwan), it was to become a professional baduk player (a game that involves chess-like strategies and skills). But when his life took an unexpected turn and he couldn’t pursue his gaming plans, the down-and-out Geu Rae is forced to get an office job and goes to work as an intern at a large company. There, he feels like a fish out of water and relies heavily on the kindness of the reserved fellow intern Ahn Yeong Yi (Kang Sora), tries to please his new boss, Section Chief Oh Sang Sik (Lee Sung Min), and keep up with the ambitious intern Jang Baek Gi (Kang Ha Neul). Geu Rae also faces animosity from the other interns because they think he is a nepotism hire — getting the highly coveted internship position with only a GED and no work experience. As Geu Rae tries to keep his head above water in the cubicle world, can he use the strategies from the game of baduk to survive in the corporate world? “Incomplete Life” is a 2014 South Korean drama series directed by Kim Won Suk.

When desires blind us, we make mistakes of making choices we wouldn't have made. That's because we are human beings and because we have to live on and survive. It's not that we were born badly, nor did we have evil hearts. However, sometimes, they demand a harsher price than we have done. Life is about how to take responsibility for mistakes and forgive others.
