The exciting part of the show is actor Lee Hak Joo, in character as Kang Tae Wan, a popular designer and closeted gay. His father continues to make ways to let him get into a relationship with a woman. He then met Jung Il Woo and began to have feelings for him.

The past episodes showed the friendship that blossomed among the three lead roles. Kang Ji Young slowly gets the hint of how cute Jung Il Woo but she is still confused if he likes a man more than her.
Any small and sweet interaction she gets the chance with Chef Park, her eyes sparkle. On the night that she arrived at her house, someone broke in and took her laptop.
