StoryLine
Young-jae manages to always end up bad in the news. He gets into trouble even if he tries to be on low profile. On his way to Japan to film his newest project, he met Ji-eun whom he got irritated with because of her being too bubbly.
Ji-eun was on vacation planned by her friends. What she doesn't know is that everything promised to her were all lies. They made her believe that she won the trip from a promo and it would be all expense paid. When she got to the hotel, the problem started. There was no reservation under her name. It's a good thing Min-hyuk, Young-jae's friend, was there to help her work things out. When she ran out of money, she asked for Young-jae's help who, coincidentally, is staying in the same hotel she is. He let her borrow money thinking that she personally knows Min-hyuk.
Ji-eun's bad luck continues when she came back, her house is empty. She thought she was robbed but the truth is, her friends gave her the trip so they could sell the house while she is gone. She was shocked when Young-jae claims that the house is his. She didn't want to give it up because it's the only memory she has of her dad. And besides, it wasn't her fault. To compromise, Young-jae allowed her to stay as long as she'll agree to be his housekeeper until she could pay the house back from her salary.
Min-hyuk is back to Korea to manage an advertising company. Young-jae got threatened because, now that Min-hyuk is in town, he knows that the attention of Hye-won's, which he has a secret love on, would all be on Min-hyuk. As much as he wanted to profess his feelings to her, he can't seem to find the courage. When the perfect time came and things are all planned, something came up� Min-hyuk. News on Young-jae's attempt of proposing got out and the press is curious on the woman's identity.
During a function, Hye-won revealed her love to Min-hyuk but it turned out that he's not interested in her. He gave her an idea that she should be paying more attention on Young-jae. Hye-won confronted Young-jae trying to know the truth. But Young-jae denied his feelings and instead, pretended that he is in love with Ji-eun, who by the way crashed the party.
The news of Young-jae and Ji-eun getting engaged was the latest controversy. Since he couldn't retract what he said, they had a contract marriage. If in six months, they could pull it through, he would give back the house as long as nobody would know about the mess they got into. Since Ji-eun really cares about the house, she agreed.
Ji-eun applied for a job as a screenplay writer in Min-hyuk's company. At first, she wasn't doing any good but Min-hyuk supported her. As he teaches her the ins and outs of the industry, he started to get attached to her. Although what Ji-eun feels for Min-hyuk is strictly professional, Hye-won still gets upset. On the other hand, Young-jae continues to show his affection to Hye-won. The public got alarmed that he is two timing Ji-eun. To save his reputation, his manager told Hye-won to stop seeing Young-jae.
As Ji-eun and Min-hyuk gets closer, Young-jae started to realize that he is falling for Ji-eun. In fear that he would be rejected, he hid his feelings. What he doesn't know, Ji-eun is feeling the same way too. But she was disheartened when she found out that the woman Young-jae was supposed to propose to was Hye-won. From then on, she distant herself to avoid misconceptions.
The hearsay about them breaking up was all over the news. Young-jae decided to end their made-up marriage to protect Ji-eun from more painful attcks. He doesn't want people to see her differently so he had a conference. The news hurt his career and reputation so bad but he didn't care. What matters most is that he was able to clear Ji-eun's name. After the revelation, he laid low. Nobody knows where he went except for his assistant.
His assistant pretended that Ji-eun was very ill so he could go back to the city. Since he really cares about her, he went home. Seeing that during his absence, a stronger relationship was developed between Ji-eun and Min-hyuk, he got paranoid. He acted as if they are together and became overprotective of Ji-eun. But everything got more complicated when Min-hyuk accidentally found out about the contract marriage. He now has a bigger shot to winning Ji-eun's heart.
While Young-jae is trying to win back Ji-eun, Hye-won gets attracted to him. But no matter how hard she gets in between them, he can't take Ji-eun out of the picture.
Young-jae continued showing his affection to Ji-eun. He prepared love schemes so she would be impressed. Unfortunately, none worked until he learned that the best way to her heart is sincerity and honesty. Now, they don't need any contract to be together because what they have is the real thing.
Ji-eun's screenplay made it into the movies. Young-jae starred on it for his comeback.
