A story of the secrets, desires, guilts and salvation of residents who live at "Royal the Hill," a place where only the top 1 percenters live.

Baek Soo-Hyun ([[Ji Jin-Hee]]) is a popular and respected anchorman. He is known as a journalist with strong beliefs. When he states something on camera, viewers take his words as the truth. Yet, Baek Soo-Hyun has another side. He is cold-hearted. When he wants something, he gets it no matter what. He will use any and all means to get what he wants. He is married to Seo Eun-Soo ([[Yoon Se-Ah]]) and they have children.

Seo Eun-Soo is the daughter of the chairman of the Jegang Group and married to Anchorman Baek Soo-Hyun. Her father is powerful enough that he wields heavy influence in the political and economic worlds. Seo Eun-Soo is herself a popular miniature artist. She places priority on her family and she tries to never loses her dignity, but she encounters tragedy. Seo Eun-Soo attempts to protect her family.

Cha Seo-Young ([[Kim Hye-Eun]]) is an announcer for a broadcast station. She has everything, including a prestigious job, exemplary educational background, and a beautiful appearance, but she is rarely satisfied with what she has.
