Synopsis
Leading the cast is Gwon O-bok (played by Kim So Eun - her first ever leading role in a drama series), a talented 19-ish years old girl who aspires to be a recognised illustrator and allows herself very little in terms of being swayed by any tribulation. Wanting to find her father who had abandon her when O-bok's mother had died 10 years earlier, she heads to Seoul where she earns a living selling her hand-made merchandise out of a street-side stall. Very soon, she becomes involved in a clashed-encounter with Jang Da Han (played by Jin Yi Han) who is, prima facie, an irascible man but also happens to be the head designer for one of South Korea's largest dairy-product company; incidentally it is also here where O-bok succeed in gaining employment as an illustrator during the following few series. Their chance meeting initiates an 'ongoing battle' which eventually unfolds into a somewhat love triangle between them and her old hometown oppa, Ki Chul (played by Kang Eun Tak).As the drama begins to roll, O-Bok gets to know Min Guk (played by Lee Hyun Jin
