Constantly in awe of the works of beauty around her, Ri Ae’s greatest dream in life was to become an accomplished artist. Sadly, her artistic talent could never live up to the expectations placed on her by both her mother and herself. Frustrated by her work, Ri Ae was on the verge of giving up when fate brought Mo Cheol Woo (Choi Jung Won) into her life.
