Heartbeat

Plot Summary

Born from a wealthy family, Yeon-hee is an affluent woman who runs an exclusive kindergarten for the rich. Her only wish, after her husband passed away, is for their 8-year-old daughter to become healthy by getting a heart transplant. Failing to find a donor despite all her efforts while her daughter’s condition deteriorates, they are in a desperate situation when she witnesses an ER patient who can be a possible donor. In a hope to save her daughter, Yeon-hee obtains approval from the patient’s guardian by offering him big money. Hui-do is a low-life scum who survives each day by providing illegal car service for girls working at hostess bars. His only stable income source is his own mother who he’s been ripping off since she abandoned him to begin a new life after her divorce. Then one day, he hears that she has been sentenced as brain dead and without fully understanding what he is doing, he signs off a consent that would give up his mother’s heart, his mother’s life, for money. But when he starts to find out the real reasons behind her condition, he abducts the ambulance that was transporting her body for the transplant scheduled for Yeon-hee’s daughter. And in urgency, Yeon-hee takes the matter into her own hands and even partners up with dangerous men to find him.
