Save the Last Dance for Me follows the story of Ji Eun-Soo (played by popstar Eugene Kim or Kim Yoo Jin formerly of popular Kpop group S.E.S.) who lives a very simple life managing the quaint country bed and breakfast inn with her father. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she grudgingly takes in Chang-ho (Ji Sung) whom she saved after being fatally injured during a robbery and has no recollection of who he is. Over the course of the year, they fall in love and become engaged.
Meanwhile Chang-ho is actually Kang Hyun woo, the son of large corporation in Seoul and has a fiancee who has been waiting for him to profess his love for her for 9 years. It was believed he had died in a fiery car crash as all his personal belongings were found with the charred remains of a body. His tutor and confidante, Jung Tae min, has been plotting revenge to get back at Hyun woo's father whom he holds responsible for causing his parents to commit suicide 20 years ago. Having Hyun woo out of the picture makes his plans run smoothly until Tae-min accidentally meets Chang-ho face to face and realizes that Hyun woo is still alive.
Things take another turn for the unexpected when Hyun woo regains his memory up to the point when he was robbed and has no recollection of where he was for the past year.
It is interesting to note that while all this drama is taking place, the constantly begged question throughout was; "How long would you wait for your love to come?" In the case of Soo Jin, Hyun-woo's fiancee, while she loves him and has been in love with him for 9 years, he still has not been able to reciprocate her affection for her. He goes through the motions simply because he's grateful. Yet, while he can't remember who Eun-soo is to him, he's magnetically drawn to her.
And so follows the thought, " ... at what point does one let go of their love?" Eun-soo is conflicted by her feelings for Chang-ho, who is now Hyun woo while Soo Jin tries everything in her power to prevent Hyun woo from regaining the memory of his missing year.
YA Entertainment releases Save The Last Dance on 7 discs with 20 mins of the classic 1995 Korean drama Sandglass.
