Cha Do-kyung was the quintessential "it girl," capturing everyone's attention throughout her school years. Her striking appearance and wealthy family background attracted numerous admirers. In contrast, Jang Gong-shim, Do-kyung's friend, often felt overshadowed and inadequate compared to her growing up. However, a chance encounter resulted in a one-night stand between Do-kyung and Bong-hee, who was then Gong-shim's boyfriend, leading to an unexpected pregnancy and their subsequent marriage. Fast forward 17 years, and Do-kyung has settled into the role of a regular housewife with three children and a lackluster husband, while Gong-shim has achieved fame as a ballet dancer.

Caught between his first love, now married to someone else, and Gong-shim, the once overlooked girl who blossomed into a stunning woman, will Hyun-woo choose to pursue his childhood affection or embrace his feelings for Gong-shim? Will Gong-shim succeed in capturing Hyun-woo's heart? (KBS World)
