Adapted from a popular webtoon of the same name, the story follows Lee Eui-young (performed by Han Ji-min), a woman who decides to get serious about finding love. On a blind date, she meets two men with very different personalities: Song Tae-seop (played by Park Sung-hoon) and Shin Ji-soo (performed by Lee Ki-taek). Between attraction, doubts and questioning, she embarks on an emotional journey in search of the true meaning of love.

Park Sung-hoon performs Song Tae-seob, director of the HOME woodworking studio. Behind his gentle and composed exterior lies a man of principle, guided by a keen sense of responsibility. Having devoted his entire twenties to building his business, Tae-seob entered his thirties with a life almost entirely focused on work, leaving little room for personal feelings. A rigorous business leader who is attentive to others, he naturally inspires trust. The recently unveiled images highlight this reassuring aura: a calm gaze, a subtle smile, and a presence that puts even first-time acquaintances at ease. A KakaoTalk exchange visible in one of the visuals describes him as «someone who is warm, reliable, very responsible, and sincere in love once he’s committed.».

Among the key figures, Kim Jung-young plays Park Jung-im, Ui-yeong's mother, a demanding and disciplined insurance planner. Having raised her daughter to be independent, she's now challenging her vision of love.

Lee Mi-do plays Jung Na-ri, Ui-yeong's superior at the hotel. Behind her seemingly perfect marriage, she maintains a subtle tension at work, keeping a close eye on Ui-yeong's performance.

Park Jung-pyo plays Oh Myung-woon, a manager with more talent for business relations than for hands-on management. Kim Won-hae lends her features to Eun Jung-seok, general manager of the hotel and a respected figure, whose warm relationship with Ui-yeong promises some touching moments.
