Synopsis

Lee Pyung-kang moved to Gangwon Province, far away from Seoul as a teen due to her father's occupation. Thanks to him, a renowned golf course designer, Pyung-kang was able to fully understand every detail of golf course planning while growing up. Her father, however, met with an untimely death before completing his ambitious work. Frustrated, Pyung-kang tried to support the family, but the harsh reality did not allow her and the rest of the family to live a comfortable life.
Eight years later. Pyung-kang who wanted to follow in her father's footsteps to become a golf course designer, has to come to terms with the reality. She is now the breadwinner of the family, living paycheck by paycheck. She does odd jobs at a resort town where she meets Woo On-dal, the owner's eldest son.
On-dal's charismatic father Pyung-won demands that On-dal pass the semi-pro qualification test in a month. When he fails to make it, On-dal is told that he will be removed from his father's will due to his incompetence. Pyung-won then collapses from a sudden stroke and in the midst of misfortune rumor circulates that On-dal's stepmother and her son are going to take over the resort town. Being cornered, On-dal has no other choice but to stand on his own feet. But for On-dal who lacks competence and determination, retaking the resort is beyond his capacity.
Ever since they met, On-dal and Pyung-kang have been on bad terms with each other, but together they join forces to save the resort. As Pyung-kang whips On-dal into shape, thus taming the spoiled heir, they bicker their way to friendship and romance.
