Synopsis

Seo Jae-won (Jang Na-ra) is fortunate to have a near perfect personal and work life. She is the CEO of a furniture company that makes millions of dollars in sales annually, and she is also a social media influencer with over a million followers. She scouts a designer, Yoon Tae-oh (Lee Ki-taek), to become the general manager of design at her company. In her personal life, Jae-Won has her beloved husband Heo Soon-young (Son Ho-jun) and their lovely child. Soon-young works as a freelancer designer and a professor in industrial design. He is a warm-hearted person who hardly ever bursts out in anger. After their marriage, Soon-Young prioritizes his family over everything else.

Meanwhile, Kwon Yoo-jin (So Yi-hyun) – who graduated from the same art department as Jae-won – is struggling with a difficult divorce with her artistry quickly fading. After reconnecting with Jae-won, she becomes jealous of her somewhat perfect life. However, Jae-won's life changed when Yoo-jin is betrayed by those she trusts and uncovers hidden secrets around her.
