“You Raise Me Up” is a comedy drama about Do Yong Shik (Yoon Shi Yoon), a man who develops erectile dysfunction in his 30s.

For Do Yong Shik, his unexpected condition comes as the last straw in his already disastrous life. He is still studying for the civil service exam after multiple attempts, and the long period of studying and constant failure has caused him to lose confidence in himself. But it’s only when he hits rock bottom, meeting his former first love as his urologist, that he gets the chance to turn his life around.
On the other hand, Lee Ru Da appears to be living a fantastic life, with a successful career, a confident personality, and stunning good looks. However, she isn’t quite happy. Her boyfriend Do Ji Hyuk (Park Ki Woong) tends to be conceited and likes to show off, and she is starting to get bored of their relationship.
