Gong Deul-im (Kim Da-som) is a tenacious, outgoing, and optimistic aspiring musical actress with the undying passion to pursue her dreams despite going against her parents' wishes. She will have a romantic relationship with lawyer Park Hyun-woo (Baek Sung-hyun). Meanwhile, Han Tae-kyung (Kim Hyung-jun) is the leader of a drama troupe and musical director. He is a perfectionist, but a gentle and thoughtful man outside of work. He is best friends with Hyun-woo and Deul-im's older sister, Gong Soo-im (Hwang Sun-hee).
