 Synopsis |
|
They say that our country’s youth unemployment figure has reached 300 million.
Why do you think people say that a great portion of the youth in their twenties
is unemployed?
The main character of this drama is Shin Nah-rah, a girl approaching thirty
who doesn’t have a house, money, a boyfriend, a job, or anyone to support her.
All she has are her brains. After living unemployed for a while and struggling
to make a living she thinks about getting married because then she can at least
work as a housewife. After she gets dumped by her boyfriend, who she was planning
on getting married to and living together with, she goes out to find the woman
who stole his heart; but while at this woman’s cosmetic company an ad for a
sales clerk catches her eye. Having nothing to lose she fakes being her 20 year
old little sister, a high school graduate, and starts working as a sales clerk
at the company. At work she meets an immature and spoiled guy likes the woman
who stole her boyfriend’s heart. The two always snarl at each other and get
into disputes but this guy later turns out to be an employer who came into the
company to work only because his mother is the vice president of the company;
in other words he is the son of a really rich family! A love story starts to
grow between the employer who knows nothing except being tough and an employee
who knows a lot more than her boss throughout all their disputes and quarrels.
Through a fun, exciting, and exhilarating story about a woman in her marital
age getting a job to get back the man she loves we will be able to see how women
in the year 2006 live through and fight to succeed in today’s society. This
story about a woman who meets a man in the process and their ensuing love story
goes back and forth between making you laugh and causing you to cry.
