Plot
Jang Mi-ri (played by Le Da-Hae) works as a barmaid in a karaoke hall in Fukuoka, Japan, in order to pay off her father's debts and earn enough money to return to South Korea and find her biological mother Lee Hwa. (played by Choi Myung-gil). After an accidental car accident she meets Jang Myung-hoon (played by Kim Seung-woo), the president of a hotel in South Korea, who hires her after hearing her speak fluent Japanese- though she uses false university credentials in the process. At the same time, a man living in the same apartment complex as Mi-ri named Song Yoohyun (played by Park Yoochun), the son of a well-known Japanese resort president, falls in love with her at first sight. What follows is a tangled web of love and hate spun by the manipulative and deceitful Mi-ri as she does everything she can to climb to riches and glory.
