Kim Yoo-nah (Doctor-Han
Ga-in)
She is not afraid of speaking her mind. She is an
outrageous “princess.”
She never keeps her mouth shut, yet she only says what
is right. Moreover, she calmly speaks of her unquestionable beauty, insisting
that she has a very objective view about it but condones the ones who are not
affectionate. She enters medical college to prove that beauty doesn’t last long,
but ability does. Growing up under the influence of a family motto:
righteousness, she unintentionally takes the roll of a whistle-blower at every
hospital she works in. Consequently, she has become a loner in the local medical
community. On the day she got kicked out of the hospital, she encountered a
tremendous ordeal. Her righteous older brother, the
head of the family, is killed by crooks.
After moving to Seoul, she starts
work at a shabby hospital where she meets a quack, Dal-go. They get off to a bad
start and keep on wrangling with each other. Still something is not right. Am I
falling for a guy like that? Was I that lonely? It frightens me. I cannot trust
his words, past, and future. He must be a complete fool. Dr. Gang?
While
Dal-go brings comfort to her bruised heart, Hee-jung comes into the
picture.

(Prosecutor-Lee Jong-hyuk)
He is an ambitious prosecutor
determined to round up Hwe-kal gang members.
His mother was a gisaeng, and he
was born at a gisaeng house in Seoul. He endeavors to succeed in the field of
law and falls for Yoo-nah, the family member of a victim. He toys with Dal-go,
his rival, to conquer his love. It is not about climbing up the social ladder
anymore. In the beginning, he didn’t expect it to be so difficult because he had
higher status. Showing off his social power was not everything. Yoo-nah is a
logical person rather than an emotional one.
He is frustrated because the
Compendium of Laws doesn’t say anything about how to love and how to be
loved.
Dal-go keeps getting on his nerve. That worthless gangster is making
Yoo-nah laugh. How dare him…
A serious grudge is running through Hee-jung, he
wants to destroy Dal-go even if it means losing Yoo-nah. Yet Dal-go is not
worthwhile; he is definitely out of his league. He does not want to lose the
battle; moreover, competing against Dal-go itself is a shame. Hee-jung tries to
reveal Dal-go’s identity to Yoo-nah. She must be the one to know. Yet she does
not even flinch. She has been aware of it all along. It was not until then that
he felt her true love. Hee-jung looks the world differently, but certain
characteristics do not change so easily.

waiting for her son. Her Sujebee not only satisfies people’s stomachs but also
