Synopsis
Shin Joon-young (Kim Woo-bin) and Noh Eul (Bae Suzy), classmates separated during their teenage years due to a rocky relationship, soon meet each other in adulthood. Joon-young is now a top actor-singer, while Noh Eul is a documentary producer.
Noh Eul had a tough childhood, as her father died in a hit-and-run, prompting her to quit school and live for herself and her brother. On the other hand, Joon-young's life planned out for him. His mother wanted him to become a prosecutor to follow in the footsteps of his estranged father, but an incident caused him to quit law school and become a singer-actor.
The two later reunite when Noh Eul is tasked to film Shin Joon-young's documentary. She convinces the producer that she can obtain his consent for the documentary shoot. Initially, Joon-young gave Noh Eul a hard time, but eventually agrees to participate in the documentary. As they work together, he endeavors to mend their relationship and win her heart back.
