At this time he has a dramatic reunion with the girl from his childhood, but she has become engaged to his best friend. Thus began the four-sided romantic drama.

This drama was originally supposed to have actor Song Seung Hun play Gun-woo. However, a draft-dodging scandal involving Song Seung Hun broke out, causing him to enlist in the military service. On short notice, Yun Jung Hoon was selected as Song Seung Hun's replacement to play Gun-woo.[1]
