Here's a gist of the story:(from Wikipedia,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Story_in_Harvard)

Love Story in Harvard (Korean language: 러브스토리 인 하버드) is a romantic 16-episode Korean drama television series broadcast in 2004. It was well-received both in South Korea and throughout East Asia, though many mocked the poor English of the male leads (the female leads speak significantly stronger English).

The story is set at Harvard University and tells of the love between a Harvard Law School student, Kim Hyun-Woo (Kim Rae Won), and a Harvard Medical School student, Lee Soo-In (Kim Tae Hee).

Though the story is set at Harvard University, the series was actually filmed at the University of Southern California and the University of California, Los Angeles.

The story is essentially about the lives of Hyun Woo( Kim Rawe won as Dustin), Jung Min (Lee Jung Jin as Alex)and Lee Soo In(Kim Tae Hae as Allyson). Dustin Woo and Alex Min, both first year law students, are rivals in class and for the affections of Allyson Lee. Alex applies himself more and as such is the favourite of Professor John Keynes ( the strict Law professor) . Dustin, who had a hard time adjusting to the workload in the beginning, falls into the bad graces of the professor. However, Hyun Woo perseveres and eventually wins the respect of Professor Keynes and his classmates. Both men meet Allyson and fall for her. This intensifies the rivalry between them.

The first part of the story is set at Harvard University( its actually in California University since they could not get permission to film it in Harvard)Dustin first saw Allyson in a hotel where he thought she was a prostitute and it was evident from a couple of times he saw her with a couple of men)This makes a confusion with the two. Allyson is a year older in Harvard as a medical student. When Allyson knew about his impression on her, she just acted and let Dustin think who she is until the moment she was hired by Dustin's girl friend to help her in his medical consultation regarding with the case he's studying.Though Dustin was ashamed by the truth, he still need Allyson's help. Eventually Dustin fall for her the same way as Allyson at the course of their study relationship.

However, their relationship is short-lived as Allyson's application to join OEP, an organization that provides medical care to patients in Third World countries, was granted. After their night together, Allyson left Dustin which made him devastated.

The next half of the story was already in Korea after Dustin graduated in Harvard.He is still as idealistic and only accepts cases he believes in. He soon gains a reputation for himself. Alex Jung Min stayed in the US after graduation but now returns to Korea to take on a case. Allyson is also back for 2 months in Korea to conduct some research. And predictably they all meet up again.

Although Dustin was still mad with how Allyson left him, he just can't let allyson go. Alex although was in US was still so inlove with allyson. Before Allyson left for the second time back to her work, they promised each other to wait. Unfortunately, on her way to the hospital, she collapsed and was brought instead to the hospital.At the hospital, Dustin is worried but she lies that she faked her illness because she doesn't want to leave him. This made allyson to stay.

Characters of the story also included Jung Jing Min (as Alex fiancee), Jason ( the American who hired Alex' law firm to defend his International company). Twist in the story goes to when Dustin and Alex met again as they are about to have the same case to defend with regards to the environmental case Allyson Lee is also studying. At this moment, Allyson also learned she was having a Leukemia but chose not to tell Dustin the truth.

As the story revolved, Alex learned about Allyson's illness and tried to tell his defendant jason to find cure for allyson's illness for him to make his case win.
