But its sole barkeeper, the 25-year-old Oh Jin Dal Rae (Kang Mina) is determined not to let that happen. As summer approaches and holidaymakers start preparing their vacation plans, she enlists the help of three young – but very different – male would-be bartenders.

Among their number is an Ivy League graduate from a wealthy family named Seon Woo Chan (Lee Jung Shin). Having suffered a sad childhood, he strives to better himself and achieve perfection. Also lending a hand is Ma Tae Oh (Lee Jung Sic), a devout Buddhist with a desire to help people.

The fate of the bar is also a matter of great interest to Yeom Ah Ran (Lim Na Young), the daughter of a powerful corporate boss who has business interests on Jeju Island.

Together with her new team, Oh Jin Dal Rae and co decide to revamp the bar in preparation for a summer to remember – by developing outstanding cocktail making and shaking skills.

Liu Ling (Crystal Yuan) is a young member of the royal family who has been granted the auspicious title of Princess Chang Le by the Emperor – who has a soft spot for her (and thinks little of her father). She is aged 20, and until now she has lived a pampered and privileged life. She is capricious, impatient, and quite bratty. Even when people lavish gifts upon her, she treats them with disdain. She has a habit of rubbing people up the wrong way and acting impulsively – a fact that has seen her develop many enemies at court. Even the common folk have a habit of spreading malicious – and often totally unfounded – rumors about her.

On her birthday, she decides – on a whim – to travel out of the palace to drink in a private room at an exclusive inn. She drinks herself into a stupor and is sleeping off the alcohol when Shen Yan (Zheng Ye Cheng), a young army commander and an ice-cold martial artist stumbles into her room after having been injured in a sword fight with a notorious bandit.
