The newly released stills depict the great differences in Kang Ro Seo and Han Ae Jin's lives, raising curiosity.
Kang Ro Seo, played by Girl's Day Hyeri, becomes the provider of the family after her beloved father passes away. Despite the drastic changes in her life, Kang Ro Seo chooses to live with a positive outlook in life.
She also hopes that her older brother, Kang Hae Soo, played by Bae Yoo Ram, passes the "gwageo," the highest level examination to become an honorable government official.
On the other hand, Han Ae Jin, played by "Hotel del Luna" actress Kang Mi Na, lives comfortably as the only daughter of a respectable noble family.
Like a delicate flower, she bloomed beautifully to a fine young woman. Her father, Han Sang Woon, played by Lee Hwang Eui, treats her as the apple of his eyes.
Because of this, she grew up in a very sheltered environment. She always got what she wanted easily, and she never had to do anything she didn't want to do.
In the newly released stills, the two different women from two different worlds meet unexpectedly. Kang Ro Seo and Han Ae Jin meet for the first time in the middle of the market, exchanging subtle icy gazes with one another.
