[edit] Synopsis
The series was set in the year 1999, Oh Su Jung (Uhm Jung Hwa), a former beauty queen who has a lot of suitors, and Go Man Soo (Oh Ji Ho), an obese guy, were supposed to get married. However Su Jung, dismayed that Man Soo failed the bar exam because of a very simple question, ran away from their wedding. Eight years later, Oh Su Jung is now a manager of a jewelry shop. However she has become an old maid desperate to get married. Man Soo returns from the states as a changed man; Karl Go, a famous golf player, a bachelor who's got looks and money. Now that he wants to get revenge for what Su Jung's done to him eight years ago, he hires Jung Woo Tak (Kang Sung Jin) to play an affluent and wealthy bachelor and to make Su Jung fall in love with him. Once they were in front of the altar, Woo Tak will leave Su Jung, just as what she did to Man Soo. Karl, who pretends to be deep in debt, became Su Jung's boarder, Yook Dae Soon's (Park Da An) boyfriend. When Su Jung and Woo Tak were supposed to be married, she runs away from her marriage once again and chose to be with Karl. Bitter that her Karl chooses to be with Su Jung the girdle-toting old maid, Dae Soon reveals to Su Jung that Karl was making a fool out of her all this time so that she won't accept Karl's proposal. In the end, Su Jung defeats Dae Soon, who steals her creative ideas for jewelry design, and proposes to Karl and got married to him in the end.
