But thanks to the help of his dear friend Sun-joo, Kang-san could overcome the depression of losing his grandmother.
    It was not long after that he finds out Sun-joo is pregnant, but the child’s father has passed away. Kang-san believes it is time to repay the kindness Sun-joo shared with him and deceives everyone that he is the father of Sun-joo’s child. Although he was not the biological father of Jan-di, Sun-joo’s daughter, he truly loved Jan-di and devoted his life to raising her even after Sun-joo left him and disappeared after a quarrel.
    But his little angel is now in her puberty. While he gets depressed because of his child showing disrespectful behavior, Kang-san meets Mi-rae, a cheerful woman who works as a teacher at the art academy Jan-di attends, and falls in love with her.
    As Mi-rae is from a rich family and has a perfect fiancé, Kang-san hesitates as he is afraid of ruining Mi-rae’s future. However, realizing that Mi-rae also truly loves him, he is determined to go against all the odds stacked against them.
