Plot

Han Seung-Joo (Uee) is a single woman in her mid 30s who works as a producer at a broadcasting station. She does well at her job, but is not nearly as good when it comes to homemaking. Han Seung-Joo has a hard time dealing with social prejudices against single women. While filming a documentary in the mountains, she runs into Oh Jak-Doo (Kim Kang-Woo) whom she contractually marries to achieve the status of married women. Their marriage is not based on love, but their relationship unfolds romantically.
