Synopsis

Sparks fly when Ji-yeon (Uhm Jung-hwa) and Dong-ha (Park Seo-joon) meet, and despite the age difference, they find a lot in common with each other, including their scarred hearts.

Cast

=Main=

:A 39-year-old investigative news reporter at Trouble Maker. Her job is the most important thing in Ji-yeon's life, and she's so passionate about it that colleagues call her a "witch" behind her back. Ji-yeon focuses all her energy on work because she stopped believing in love after her last boyfriend, 41-year-old war photographer Noh Shi-hoon (Han Jae-suk) disappeared prior to their wedding day.

:A 25-year-old guy who runs a small errand center with his friend. Their store will do pretty much anything for a customer from dressing as Santa Claus to providing security for an idol star. Dong-ha seems happy-go-lucky, but he hides a secret sorrow, having lost his girlfriend to a fatal heart problem. Since her death, he's lost all his ambition and drive, with his career plans sidelined.
