Plot
Hwang Tae-hee (Kim Nam-joo) leads a charmed life; after growing up in a wealthy family, she easily attains a coveted job. Ever the strong and decisive career woman, she is successful and beautiful, but lacks one important thing in her life: a man. Too much of a workaholic to make time for romance, she is taken aback when she falls hard for Bong Joon-soo (Jung Joon-ho). She loses no time in pursuing him and they soon get married, but when the honeymoon is over, Tae-hee finds that her rival at work and husband's ex, Baek Yeo-jin (Chae Jung-an), has taken over her job. Things aren't easy for Tae-hee as she juggles taking care of a daughter at home and leading a team at the same company as her husband and Yeo-jin. Misunderstandings grow over time between Tae-hee and Joon-soo, putting their marriage into jeopardy.
Meanwhile, Tae-hee's arrogant, immature chaebol boss Goo Yong-shik (Park Si-hoo), previously apathetic, grows more serious about his work with her guidance – and ends up falling hopelessly in love with her.
