As Minho wrestles and pounds his way to his uncle, he meets his childhood acquaintance, Kim Soon-jung (Kim So-yeon), currently his uncle's executive assistant, who happens to be the daughter of his father's then executive assistant, also perceived by Minho as a traitor for standing against his father's honor.

Min-ho becomes the newly elected Hermia's president while Joon-hee is out to sabotage Min-ho's business transactions to bring down the company to bankruptcy. Joon-hee replaces Min-ho's abandoned post in Gold Partners and uses it to his advantage to thwart Min-ho's plans. His deep seated obsession is aggravated with Min-ho's winning of Soon-jung's affection.
With Hermia's brink to destruction, Min-ho decides to protect its interests till the end. He confronts Joon-hee's dirty tactics head on by exposing Gold Partners' malicious strategy of manipulation and constricting growth of Hermia's business, even if it would expose his own. Strong evidence also comes about to charge Joon-hee for murdering his best friend and other cases are piling up against him. Hermia is saved but Joon-hee's health condition worsens that leads to either life or death situation.
My Thoughts: Falling for Innocence is an uplifting and heartwarming drama. I agree on the positive attributes I read from most reviews I come across with. The actor aced his performance and stands out as the shining star of this drama world. He is incredible and a complement to his leading lady. I find this a good watch. It has all the components of a good TV series - my expectations are met!
