Noh Ae Jung struggled in life to find a stable job during the times she was raising her daughter, Ha-Ni. Her mother Hyang Ja helped her go through it all while trying to make ends meet.
After being a cashier, delivery girl, and a movie attendant, her dream of working in the film industry came true. She got hired as a film producer in Thumb Film company with low scale sales.
She managed to handle the family expenses for working as an assistant to the CEO. He gave her a chance after hearing her stories of struggle and reaching her goals.
Noh Ae Jung studied in one of the well-known universities in Korea, majoring in Theatre and Film. In her last semester as a senior, she drops out of school after she got pregnant. Since then, she has worked hard to support her baby.
Ha-Ni is now in high school and entering a new school. Noh Ae Jung bought second-hand uniforms to meet her financial earnings. Her daughter grew up to be kind and understood their situation, thus she never asked for more.
A big investor is coming to the Thumb Film office. Noh Ae Jung and her assistant producer Hye Jin, presented the script and they were shocked to know that number lender in Korea Goo Pa Do arrived not to hear about their presentation. He came to demand payment from Noh Ae Jung's boss who borrowed 7 million won as a loan. The worst part is that Noh Ae Jung is the consignee of the loan from Goo Pa Do.
She was misled and she signed a document from Thumb Film owner. They could not trace the CEO's whereabouts, leaving Noh Ae Jung required to pay the whole amount. To overcome the crisis, she agreed with Goo Pa Do to invest in their company and make a new movie.
She found a script and contract signed by famous writer Oh Dae Oh with screenname as Cheon Eok-Man. Goo Pa Do agreed to invest and gave her a deadline to complete the details. He wanted Cheon Eok-Man to be the writer and Ryu Jin to the main lead of the movie.
Both men are famous and she knew each one of them. She knew Ryu Jin during her college days and she had a big crush on him. She tried to reach out but it was hard as she can't get near due to his bodyguards.
On her way to reach out and had a meeting with Cheon Eok-Man, she found out that it was her ex-boyfriend Dae Oh. They had a tough breakup, and after they separated, they didn't for once meet or communicate for the past 14 years.
When Dae Oh found out that Ae Jung wanted to get him to work on a new movie, he is back to revenge the pain he felt form their past. He dropped out of college and was devastated when Noh Ae Jung broke up with him.
Ryu Jin and Dae Oh knew each other since college as they are in the same department. Ryu Jin helped Dae Oh to start with his life again. They never heard from Noh Ae Jung since then.
Ha-Ni got involved in a fight in school by protecting her classmate Dong Chan. Noh Ae Jung rushed to the school to apologize for the parents. She met teacher Yeon Woo, who is famous for his good looks. He is popular in school for the one who smiles a lot and kind to his students. Noh Ae Jung was surprised to see him, and he was happy to see her too.
Yeon Woo and Noh Ae Jung knew each other back in the old days. He was in high school while Noh Ae Jung was in college. They were neighbors and got close but things went wrong that they lost in contact.
The biggest problem for Noh Ae Jung is how to pay Goo Pa Do for a loan that she didn't even use. Dae Oh is giving her a hard time to work with her while Ryu Jin is trying to reach her.
Ha-Ni saw a diary from her mother with the title "To My Future Baby, Dad: Oh Yeon Woo Mom: Noh Ae Jung." A box full of Noh Ae Jung's old stuff from college kept in the attic fell into Ha-Ni's hand.
