Joong-Ah, an Irish adoptee who has embraced a western lifestyle, inevitably returns to Korea to face her history and discover her true origins. In the process, she finds herself falling for her brother, Jae-Bok. Their relationship is fraught with anguish, as they were never intended to be more than siblings. The series conveys the idea that there is no such thing as a pure, noble love; rather, love itself represents challenges. Thus, it should not be constrained by concepts of "destiny" or familial ties, regardless of how ironic or challenging the situation may appear. Despite the harshness of fate, the young couple exudes genuine joy. The narrative illustrates how love persists despite the tragic constraints imposed by family, destiny, and romantic entanglements.
