Shin Joo Yeon, a 33-year-old fashion marketing director at a home shopping network, has cultivated a tough and resilient exterior to navigate her professional environment. After numerous disappointments in her romantic life, she has nearly lost hope in finding true love. On the other hand, Joo Wan, a 26-year-old songwriter with a laid-back attitude, has returned to Korea after spending seventeen years abroad. Until he was nine, he was largely cared for by his mother’s friend and her daughter, Shin Joo Yeon. While she remembers him only as the child she had to entertain when her mother was preoccupied, Joo Wan’s fondest early memories—ranging from bath time to playful moments and learning to tie his shoes—are filled with her presence. Upon reuniting, he seeks to mend Joo Yeon’s disillusioned view of romance.

Ra Jun Mo, a seasoned producer with a decade of experience in variety shows, is noted for his extensive list of credits yet lacks a standout program to claim as his own. Tak Ye Jin, a music show producer also with ten years of experience, began her journey as an innocent and intelligent newcomer, but the cutthroat competition has transformed her into a sharp-tongued and proud woman, unafraid to speak her mind even in front of superiors. Baek Sung Chan, a rookie producer in the variety show arena, abandons a promising future as a prosecutor to pursue a career in broadcasting out of love. Cindy, a top celebrity singer with a diva-like demeanor, started her journey as a trainee at the age of 13 and has spent a decade in the industry. She is often referred to as the "ice princess" due to her reluctance to form deep connections, a result of past betrayals that have led her to keep others at a distance. The narrative conveys profound themes surrounding friendship, family, fame, support, bullying, and betrayal within the broadcasting world.
