Kim Ji Seok is a South Korean actor. Born on April 21, 1981, he attended middle school and high school in England and majored in German at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. He also has a master’s degree in Cultural Contents Planning from Kyung Hee University. Kim Ji Seok started his career as a rapper in the boy band LEO but the group disbanded after only eight months. His agency recommended he take his stage name because his birth name, Kim Bo Seok, could be confused with two other veteran actors.

But he became a household name after he appeared in the successful 2009 film “Take Off.” He has starred in many other films and television dramas since, including “Slave Hunters” (2010), “I Need Romance 2” (2012), “Cheongdam-dong Alice” (2012), “Angel Eyes” (2014), “Unkind Women” (2015), “Cheer Up!” (2015) and “Oh Hae Young Again” (2016) and “20th Century Boy and Girl” (2017).

Na Young Won (Jung So Min) is a successful senior editor at the hit monthly magazine Monthly House.

In fact, she lives alone in a rented house and happily makes adjustments as she sees fit. But when the magazine’s CEO Yoo Ja Sung (Kim Ji Seok) buys the house and becomes her fussy new landlord, she is in for a shock.

Yoo Ja Sung proves to be a very difficult landlord to keep happy. He grew up in poverty, initially working in the construction industry, but determined to make his fortune through real estate investment. For him, buying the house Na Young Won lives in is little more than another financial transaction. But as the duo starts to get to know one another, their attitudes toward the real estate market – and one another – start to change. Suddenly, Na Young Won starts to ask herself if she would be better off buying her own house...or beginning on an unlikely romance with her firm’s CEO!
