Synopsis:

The drama will show the love, growth, and success of four interconnected adults in their twenties.

Ko Eun Sung (Han Hyo Joo) is a prospective chef. She faces difficulties when her father passes away**, her stepmother (Kim Mi Sook) takes all of the family assets, and her younger sibling disappears all at once. By a fortuitous opportunity, Eun Sung enters a Jinsung Foods, a food products company, and becomes successor to the founding grandmother’s fortune.

The company founder’s grandson is Sunwoo Hwan (Lee Seung Gi), who falls for Eun Sung. However, her stepsister, Seung Mi (Moon Chae Won) is in love with Hwan.

Jung is Hwan’s imprudent younger sister, who prefers shopping to work. She is carelessly enjoying her frivolous life, while presuming herself to be engaged to Park Joon Se (Bae Soo Bin), the light-hearted and self-confident owner of a fusion restaurant. However, Jung has to begin putting up a fight for Joon Se’s attention when Eun Sung enters the picture.

Although Eun Sung faces many trials and complications, she overcomes them to succeed in the end.

**KP’s note: I’m watching the first episode right now, and it appears that there’s a big twist on her father’s “death”
