Plot Synopsis
Byeon Mu-Jin (Ji Jin-Hee) was once married to Geum Ye-Yeon (Kim Ji-Soo). They had two children, daughter Byeon Mi-Rae (Son Na-Eun) and son Byeon Hyun-Jae (Yoon San-Ha), during their marriage. Mu-Jin attempted various business ventures that all ended in failure, leading his family to cut ties with him. Geum Ye-Yeon struggled to raise their two children alone after the divorce. Eleven years later, she works part-time at a large mart while Mi-Rae supports the family as a merchandise director (MD) at the same mart. Hyun-Jae, on the other hand, is known for his unique charm but is also the family's troublemaker.
One day, Mu-Jin reappears in their lives as the owner of the villa building where they live. He hopes to reunite with Ye-Yeon and tries to win her back, but Mi-Rae is strongly opposed to the idea. In contrast, Hyun-Jae supports his father's attempt at reconciliation.
Meanwhile, Mi-Rae crosses paths with Nam Tae-Pyeong (Minho), a former national taekwondo team member now working as a security guard at the mart. He keeps his true identity and his father's ownership of the mart a secret.
