Plot

Jang Mi-ri works as a barmaid in a karaoke hall in Fukuoka, Japan, in order to pay off her father's debts and earn enough money to return to South Korea and find her biological mother Lee Hwa.. After an accidental car accident she meets Jang Myung-hoon, the president of a hotel in South Korea, who hires her after hearing her speak fluent Japanese- though she uses false university credentials in the process. At the same time, a man living in the same apartment complex as Mi-ri named Song Yoohyun, the son of a well-known Japanese resort president, falls in love with her at first sight. What follows is a tangled web of love and hate spun by the manipulative and deceitful Mi-ri as she does everything she can to climb to riches and glory.
