Carmina February March 7, 2016 03/7/16 Falling for Innocence (Hangul: 순정에 반하다; RR: Sunjeonge Banhada) is a South Korean television series starring Jung Kyung-ho, Kim So-yeon, and Yoon Hyun-min. It aired on jTBC from April 3 to May 23, 2015 on Fridays and Saturdays at 21:45 for 16 episodes.
Kang Min-ho is a cold, ruthless businessman working for Gold Partners, a major bond investment firm, and he has an axe to grind against the company Hermia Group. His philanthropic father was once Hermia's CEO, but he was charged with embezzlement after his death, leading to Min-ho's mother committing suicide and all their family shares were transferred to Kang Hyun-chul, Min-ho's uncle who now runs the company. Min-ho believes that his father was framed, and he's determined to get revenge by wresting control of Hermia. He wants that to be his last living act, since his doctor diagnosed him with dilated cardiomyopathy (the same condition that killed his father) and one more month left to live; only a donor heart would save him, though finding a match is unlikely given his rare blood type.
As he butts heads with his uncle, Min-ho comes across Kim Soon-jung, the daughter of his father's former secretary and who now works herself at Hermia as Chairman Kang's executive assistant. Soon-jung is happily engaged to Ma Dong-wook, a detective, though unaware that her childhood friend and colleague Lee Joon-hee has loved her for years. After Dong-wook has an altercation with Min-ho when the latter tries to shut down the Hermia Cosmetics factory that employs his father Ma Tae-seok and Joon-hee's security guard father Lee Jung-gu, Min-ho blackmails Soon-jung into working for him instead.
Joon-hee is Hermia's legal affairs director, but has long resented doing Chairman Kang's dirty work. When Dong-wook's investigation into one of Hermia's skincare products being tampered reveals Joon-hee's involvement, Dong-wook tells Joon-hee to confess or he'll arrest him. Soon after, Dong-wook dies in an apparent hit-and-run and in a strange twist of fate, Min-ho becomes the recipient of his heart and makes a full recovery. But Min-ho begins to exhibit different personality traits and habits, ones similar to the deceased Dong-wook's, and finds himself falling for Soon-jung.
