For three years, she's been in a relationship with her faithful boyfriend, Dong Gun (Ryoo Seung Buem, from Crying Fist and Arahan).

However, Dong Gun panics when he learns that Hae Ju is about to regain her eyesight thanks to a miraculous operation. It seems that Dong Gun has been lying to her all this time about his appearance. In truth, he is not the attractive man he's claimed to be, but is instead a man suffering from a serious facial scar. Ashamed of both his ruse and his appearance, the frightened Dong Gun takes desperate measures to remedy the situation. Instead of explaining himself to Hae Ju, he decides to hide himself away, leaving a message claiming that he's headed to Hawaii.

Meanwhile, his girlfriend crosses paths with the handsome Jun Ha (Kim Kang Woo, The Aggressives, Springtime), who finds himself attracted to the beautiful Hae Ju. While Jun Ha pursues Hae Ju, she continues to wait for Dong Gun to return. But will he come back in time to save their love? See for yourself in this charming romantic comedy that features standout performances from Ryoo Seung Beom and Shin Min Ah and also features An Kil Gang (Taegukgi), Ahn Sang Tae (The Art of Seduction), and Ham Eun Jeong (Madeline).
