Introduction*: Sun-young is a single mom with a son and a daughter. Her son, Jae-hyuk, is a con artist who steals money. His partner-in-crime is Hong Mi-ri, who likes him. In one of his scams (he was going to get hit by a car and try to sue the person in court), he meets Ji-soo. She is very innocent and uses a crutch to walk. Jae-hyuk feels sorry for her and decides not to sue, which angers Mi-ri. Ji-su has no idea that Jae-hyuk is a con artist. Jae-suk's younger sister, Jin-hee, is a bright and ambitious girl. She finally gets her big break when she is hired at a home shopping network. There she meets Jang Hee-ju and they become good friends. Jin-hee is really close to Hyun-woo, who is a doctor. Hyun-woo develops feelings toward Jin-hee. Although Jin-hee likes him too, she knows that his mom (who is her mom's best friend) will disapprove. Surprisingly, Jin-hee finds out Hyun-woo's first love is Hee-ju, who is the daughter of a big company. Sun-young, Jin-hee and Jae-hyuk's mom, works as a chauffeur for Hee-ju's dad, who can't drive himself because he is traumatized by an accident several years ago. As these stories intertwine with each other and characters mix, can these couples find true love?

Ryu Jin and Choi Ji woo is adorable as a couple though they are not main artists in this drama and it is nice to see Lee Hui Hyang acted as Ryu Jin mother very loving towards Ji soo (CJW).
