See the Light
Description
Summary: Mark's coming back to Korea knowing his grandma's state is getting worse with every passing day. He's been working nonstop and feels really bad he couldn't spend more time with her while she was still in a good state. He wished he could turn back time and throw away the career he was trying to pursue in the States much earlier. His grandma was the only person close to him, his parents died when he was young and it was his grandma who took him and raised him in Korea. She was always supportive about his dreams and was always ready to spoil her precious grandson. When things are getting worse, Mark realizes how self-absorbed he's been, and took her motherly love for granted.
While visiting her everyday at the hospice, he got to meet a charming physiotherapist who his grandma just adores: handsome, polite and at times witty Park Jinyoung who brings his grandma a sparkle of light in her monotony. Mark finds himself being drawn by the man's light as well. He ignites something in him what he never thought he would feel. His grandma seems to notice it and decides to take advantage of her situation and tries to bring them together.
