Storyline

Kim Sam-soon (Kim Sun-a) is dumped by her cheating boyfriend Min Hyun-woo (Lee Kyu-han) and loses her job. Sam-soon accidentally goes into men's restroom and see Hyun Jin-heon (Hyun Bin).

The two happens to meet again when Sam-soon goes around looking for a new job. Jin-heon notices Sam-soon's excellent baking skills and hires her to work at his restaurant Bon Appetit.

When Jin-heon's mother Na Hyun-sook (Na Moon-hee), a hotelier keeps setting him up on matchmaking dates, he cuts a deal with Sam-soon to be his girlfriend. Their only condition is to never fall in love for real.

After some time, the couple start having feelings for each other. However, Jin-heon's ex-girlfriend Yoo Hee-jin (Jung Ryeo-won) suddenly returns from the States after disappearing years ago. That was right after Jin-heon got into an accident causing the death of his brother, sister-in-law and another motorcyclist.

Little did Jin-heon know that Hee-jin is actually diagnosed with stomach cancer and do not wish to add on to his burden. Now Jin-heon is stuck between Hee-jin and Sam-soon.

My View

A pretty well-written romance story.

Jung Ryeo-won looks too young back then that I cannot even remember this is her.

Nowadays she is more onto legal dramas.

Rating

3/5 Stars
