Had a shiny, lushly inviting appeal well before it started airing, and I’m glad the pilot episode doesn’t disappoint. The drama is all about people hiding behind masks, never revealing who and what they truly are.
There’s a hair-raising opening scene that sees a woman in a car tumbling down a cliff. Beside her, the only other passenger is knocked unconscious. Only a few steel wires keep the car from crashing down the side of the mountain to the stormy water below.
We are soon introduced to a young, handsome successor to a huge department store corporation, who seems to have an acute fear of germs.

Somehow a tiny spill of coffee on the table seems to spread to oil slick proportions right before his warped vision. The fact that someone just sneezed sending even
“deadly” germs into the atmosphere helps to distract our chaebol heir from making his presentation in front of his father and other key board members. Meet our leading male, Min-Woo (played by Ju Ji-Hoon).
He’ll soon be getting married! Okay, maybe not in the romantic sense, but in a cold-blooded, arranged marriage of convenience. His influential fiancee calmly reminds him of the business-like terms of their marriage contract. And how she fully intends to keep the boyfriend whom she loves even after she gets married.

I’m glad to see she’s the fun bubbly type, and gives us an insight into the comedy angle of the drama. While she’s being harrassed by a superior for her poor output, she’s busy daydreaming of classical music playing in her head.
Later with two of her friends in the cafeteria she’s told by one of them, “I just saw a woman who looks exactly like you. Your same round eyes, round face and even your rounded butt. She looked rich and elegant. Do you perhaps have a twin?”
Ji Sook deadpans that sure, she’s actually a daughter of a chaebol family and took this job just to find out how the other half lives and build her world experience. They laugh goofily at the prospect. At this point we know our lead female is Ji-Sook (played by Soo-Ae) and the woman she so closely resembles is Eun-Ha who is from a renowned family and is engaged to Min Woo.

As chirpy as Ji-Sook seems, life is definitely not all giggles for her. We are taken to a back storeroom where she’s threatened by mafia type loan sharks who tell her she has two days to come up with the owed 3 million won.
It’s interesting to note how the employees have no idea what the big shots in their company look like and brush by them everyday without realizing it. On her return from the restroom after washing off the worst of the stains, Ji Sook collides with a suited figure by mistake.
He notices the blood stains on her clothes which had brushed against him. He looks like he’s about to have a fit, and dashes to his office where he hurriedly changes into a clean white shirt and another suit.

. That was close. Now he feels like he can breathe. Thank goodness his closet (which is more like a showroom) is lined with the exact same pristine white shirts and suits just for such eventuality.
Meanwhile our would be heroine is attending a school reunion. She must be popular because everyone is looking at her like they know her. But noone wants to acknowledge her and we hear snarky comments from three mean females seated at a table. They take bets as to why she’s really here. I bet one million she’s here to borrow money. I bet
Finally one of them approach her with a fake smile. “Ah, you’re the one who always fought with the boys.” Then they bet her three big ones if she could finish a whole jar of wine in one gulp.

Three what!! She thinks they mean three million won and thinks her prayers are answered. Her look of glee is almost painful to watch as everyone else observes the scene unfolding.
Oh no. I can’t look. She’s actually doing it, drinking down what looks like two liters of red wine from a weird, wide-bottomed bottle.
Out of the blue emerges incredible hunk. He shoulders his way through and grabs her wrists. Come with me, Byun Ji Sook.

Aww. He’d been watching from earlier, with hidden disgust and dismay. Disgust at the mean girls playing such a horrid prank, and dismay at Ji Sook for demeaning herself this way for money.
Little could anyone guess what difficulty she’s going through, all thanks to her father taking out a personal loan from those nasty looking guys.
Her ‘savior’ happens to be Jung Tae who she possibly might have maybe dated when they were in school. But since she was a pretty girl from a poor neighborhood he could never really be open about their connection.

Ji Sook goes into the same bathroom to puke into the toilet. As he reaches for a bathtowel they end up entangled on the floor.
Later he rushes off home where he picks out a change of clothes. Considering he shows up there in just a bathrobe it’s no surprise the house staff give him shocked looks. He wonders why the hell his fiancee acted and was dressed like that. Since she wasn’t her usual expensively clad self.

His real fiancee is busy collecting her resized engagement ring at the same department store the next morning. How can he not know the ring size of his fiancee she bickers to herself. Earlier she’d been reading a magazine with a strange article.
Later she’s walking down the escalator, trying on the ring. Oh now it’s too tight. These people can’t do anything right she fumes.
