Eun-seong is studying overseas in New York when she is suddenly called back to Korea by her dad just 2 years into her studies. Meanwhile, Sun-woo Hwan is also ordered to return to Korea by his grandmother after studying abroad for 3 years in which he hardly studied. Koh Pyeong-jung, who is Eun-seong’s father, struggles to save his company from going bankrupt. One day, his wallet is stolen by a thief along with his ID and credit cards. The thief subsequently dies in a gas explosion accident and the police, upon finding Koh Pyeong-jung’s wallet on him, mistakenly identify him as Koh. So a death certificate for Koh Pyeong-jung is promptly issued. Koh decides to lay low and not tell his family that he is alive to keep the creditors at bay for the time being. But his second wife who is Eun-seong’s stepmother, collects the insurance money that is paid out from his life insurance policy and then kicks out her stepchildren Eun-seong and Eun-woo while moving into a new home with her daughter Seung-mi. Eun-seong asks for assistance from her boyfriend Hyung-jin who turns her down. Soon after her brother Eun-woo, who is mentally retarded, goes missing. While searching for her brother, Eun-seong works as a waitress at a nightclub and meets Joon-sae, a friend of her former boyfriend. Joon-sae helps Eun-seong as much as he can. A year later, Eun-seong is still looking for her brother and decides to transfer to a Korean college. So she quits her waitress job and starts selling dumplings to make enough money to pay for her tuition. Meanwhile, Jang Sook-ja, the founder of a food company, becomes deeply disappointed in her grandson Hwan who has no direction in his life. So to gather her thoughts on what to do about her grandson, she visits her old neighborhood in the poor section of the city where she encounters Eun-seong who is selling dumplings. She hears about Eun-seong’s hardships and immediately sees that Eun-seong is an honest, hardworking person with a heart made of gold. So to test Eun-seong’s mettle, she moves in with her for a month, sharing a tiny room. Afterwards, Jang Sook-ja makes up her mind to appoint Eun-seong as the heir of her food company and brings her home...

    Great actors, great story, but sometimes too long. I really loved watching it until ep 24... then it became so lame...because I already knew they would be together..-.- the extension wasn't good..

    I love Lee Seung Gi & Han Hyo Joo. This drama always made me excited to see the next episode. The actress who played Seung Mi's mom was fantastic as well.

    Definitely one of my all-time favs. Although predictable, every episode is as enjoyable as the first. The casts' acting skills are all top-notch and the story and plot are very intriguing.

    Well, I've watched 8 episodes non-stop, so that should say something about the drama. When I go out in the mall or out somewhere, I think about how many episodes I could be watching. No, I'm not addicted, I won't admit it.

    It's good. Intense and very dramatic. Some funny parts too.

    Warning, potential Spoiler comment - not really, but just a slight correlation between two dramas.

    So there's a guy who's mean (the guy who she switched bags with) and reminds me of Jun Pyo(he was mean too) from Boys over flowers. She might end up with that guy, but at episode 8, doesn't look like it. There's a guy, he's a manager at a restaurant, and he reminds me of Jihoo (he's so nice and helps her out a lot). I hope they end up together rather than the other guy. I was rooting for Jihoo. Now I'm rooting for this other dude.

    This drama is fantastic! I'm still watching it and it's somewhat like Cinderella's story! When you're watching this drama, you just can't wait to see what's going to happen next! It's a perfect choice to watch if you like romantic, comedy, and sad dramas or movies!
