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 Te-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) graduated in the same art department in university as Jae-Won. She is experiencing a difficult time with her divorce, and her art career is quickly fading away. After she reconnects with Jae-Won, she becomes jealous of her near perfect life. Jae-Won’s life soon changes. She is betrayed by people she trusts, and she faces secrets that people around her hide.
