Kim U Ju lost his parents in a car accident when he was young. He miraculously survived the accident, but it took it’s toll on him emotionally. Thanks to his extended family, U Ju is an heir to one of the oldest bakeries in the country. He has spent the last few years in the U.S., away from his greedy family and their constant vying for the business. But now he has returned home and is determined to get involved in the running of the company. He also wants to prove that his parent’s death was not an accident at all, and make sure the guilty party is held responsible.

On his first day back in Korea, U Ju has a run-in with a drunk woman who confuses him for her ex, who happens to have the same name as him. Later this same woman shows up at his office as their new marketing partner. And when she approaches him with an offer to pose as her fake husband, he gives in and agrees, against his better judgement. But as he gets sucked into her life’s dramas, he finds himself unable to stop from falling for her. And when he finds out she is actually his elementary school first love, he begins to believe that they are fated to be together.

Kim U Ju was seriously scarred by the sudden death of his parents, and the lack of love and compassion from his family. And as he investigates what really happened the night of his parents’ deaths, he learns that his family is absolutely not to be trusted. Choi Woo Shik is a great actor and I really enjoy him in rom-coms. He portrays that sensitive, intuitive character so well, and I felt like he fit this part perfectly.

Yoo Me Ri spent all the time and money she had to plan her dream wedding to Kim U Ju, only to discover her fiance having an affair, just before the ceremony. After they break up,  Me Ri also finds out that the apartment her mother helped her buy for their first home was a scam. But while she is wallowing in heartbreak and grief, she gets a call that she won a drawing for a brand-new honeymoon house in an elite neighborhood. But she has to bring her husband to sign all the paperwork to take ownership.

Me Ri owns her own marketing company, and about the same time that her wedding falls apart, she starts a new contract with a major bakery business. And when she shows up for her first in-person meeting, she meets her new boss, who also happens to have the same name as her ex. Me Ri comes up with a plan to have a contract wedding with this new U Ju, just until she can sell the house and buy a new place to live.

In the meantime, they plan to keep their supposed marriage a secret from everyone they know, so they can easily go their separate ways when it’s finished. But things don’t go according to plan, and Me Ri finds her life becoming more entangled with U Ju. And when they decide to make their relationship marriage real, they encounter some unexpected resistance from U Ju’s family.

Yoo Me Ri is a hard-worker who has grown her business from the ground up. She is resilient and creative. She was raised by a single mother, and as an adult, she tries to keep her mom from finding out anything that would cause her to worry. Jung So Min is one of my absolute favorites, and she is a rom-com queen. She portrays this kind of quirky, down-on-her-luck lead with just the right balance of charm and pathetic backstory.
