Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Soo-Jung (Lee So-Yeon) begins work at a home shopping channel network. She is a bright and warm-hearted woman. Her life changes when her father suddenly dies in a fire. Soo-Jung has to take care of her family:her mother and her troublemaker younger brother Soo-Ho (Kim Jin-Woo).

Soo-Jung meets Yoon-Jae (Lee Gyu-Han), who is a new employee at their company. Yoon-Jae used to work as a judge, but quit that job. From Yoon-Jae's first day at the home shopping network, Soo-Jung and Yoon-Jae argue often, but eventually fall in love anyways. Yoon-Jae makes it clear to Ye-Ri (Lee Chae-Young) that he is in love with Soo-Jung. Ye-Ri has been in love with him for a long time. She tries everything to get him back, using her position as the only child of the home shopping company president.

PT Dec 28 2017 4:14 pm love this drama..soo ho ma ye ri <3 . these two are so cute together. their love story could have started sooner. very bad that their love story started at episode 90. still enjoyed every moment of theirs. am glad i watched this drama. can't get enough of these two

Elijah.J Sep 14 2014 10:37 am What happened with ji hoon and soo jung to make them breakup? Did ji hoon cheat or do something unfaithful to soo jung? and what episode did the breakup occur?

PLEASE ANSWER ^_-

blessbless May 21 2014 11:50 am i think the ending should be lee soo jung and yoon jae

Chumimikyaw May 14 2014 3:13 am May i know whom is getting married with so yeon?ji hoon or yoon jae?

sesilia Nov 25 2013 1:10 am may i know the name of the ending song titile

1tqz Nov 20 2013 7:20 am I have not seen the last few episodes of this drama, gathered from Ms Jesse Lee's comments, I am glad So Yeon ended happily with Ji Hoon, who faithfully loved and helped her. It would be ridiculous to go back to her first love who married the rich girl for the sake of revenge....a very absurd reason !!

Jesselee Nov 17 2013 9:48 pm I think korean producers & writers should be more creative in the future..life is not just about our first love..when soojung wanted to leave jihoon for yoonjae,that was ridiculous..so stupid..but luckily,ending was good..if not,i am soooooooo wasting so much time to watch this drama..i like Lee So Yeon and Sung Hoon..they looks great together..to see them both,make me smile and make me fall in love with my husband again..producer should choose the right actor to be lead cast..Lee Gyu Han so not the one..sorry to say that..i watch him in other drama,but in this as lead cast..not suitable..as i said,luckily ending soojung with jihoon..make me smile again and wanted to watch this drama to the end..

rainhoney Nov 15 2013 1:42 pm Annoyed watcher.. i totally agree with u. Thats not love. Thats stupidity. The writers should be more realistic abt it. Just because they are the lead characters doesnt mean they hv to end up together. But then again i think they deserved each other. Ji hoon is way too good for soo jung.

Annoyed Watcher Nov 15 2013 9:44 am I can't believe I wasted my time watching this drama since the lead actress is so ANNOYING, STUPID, ACTING STRONG, ACTING NICE, PITY-SEEKER, MASOCHIST, and SELFISH b**ch.

The drama is actually good until this stupid b**ch decided to leave Ji Hoon just because she felt in debt and sorry to this selfish, annoying, and pity-seeker Yoon Jae. She actually confessed that she loves JH and misses him, but decided to start over with YJ just because he goes to that b**ch's father's grave every weekend?!?! WTH with that? How selfish can she be? Doesn't she know that marriage started with pity would be disastrous? She should have looked at her birth mother's marriage first. But then, her mother is also stupid and selfish, so it's not surprising that she would inherit that traits.

One more thing that ticked me off is when she opposed Soo Ho and Ye Ri's relationship, but thought that hers and YJ's is okay. See how selfish and self-centered she is?

Overall, in this drama, the only characters that I like (which made me continue watching this drama) are Soo Ho and Ji Hoon. The rest are trash.

ms Nov 07 2013 9:10 am i hate kang yun jae....han ji hoon n lee soo jung must be together..

mez Sep 24 2013 12:56 am what the song?

emz Sep 18 2013 4:36 pm OMG, just finished this drama and really liked the way it ended. But if anyone out there knows the name of the song that played at the end when Young-Jae was giving his speech I would really like to know, please...... Thanks a bunch and yes I really like watching Lee So-Yeon.

dahlia Sep 18 2013 12:20 am Ahhhhhh sad story but it's facts of life not happy ending but then that's life.....as usual Lee So-Yeon did her good job and Kim Jin Woo such a cool guy.....Not one of my best drama but worth to watch as soap drama:)

Mic Mar 06 2013 8:31 pm @arturo

Totally agreed with you!

arturo Feb 22 2013 8:56 pm started out as a relatively simple love story but, in order to create maximum dramatic effect, the script is gradually getting out of hand. hard to convince that even in this day and age, this kind of love affair could actually survive. under these circumstances, I suspect the leading lady would have left the man a long time ago.

LSYfanpage Dec 27 2012 7:45 pm This is a very good Family Drama. I love Lee So Yeon!
