Synopsis Cheerful and flighty high school senior Seo Eun-min (Lee Young-ah) meets Tae-kyeong (Hong Kyung-min), an independent and responsible law student, when she goes to the university library to run an errand for her sister. She instantly falls in love and lies to him that she's a scriptwriter. They start dating, and Tae-kyeong falls in love with the charming Eun-min. However, Eun-min's lie does not last long when they meet again as private tutor and student. Since Eun-min hates studying more than anything, Tae-kyeong tells her that she should do something else with her life if she does not want to go to college, and drags her to the Haja Center. Knowing that he has faith in her and wants what's best for her, Eun-min impulsively decides to marry him. Proud that Tae-kyeong is the first thing that's hers alone, at first Eun-min treats their marriage as an accomplishment in itself and their poor circumstances as a game: she does not mind that their basement apartment is windowless, and has leaky ceilings and rats. But the hardships of poverty and newlywed life soon make her grow up fast.
