An ingenuous home-shopping host Yong Sujeong dreams of becoming a successful businesswoman who wins people before money. After losing her parents as a kid, she travels around the country with tinker Yong Jangwon and grows up as a strong woman full of courage. She may look fierce on the outside, but in fact, she is a softhearted, clumsy crybaby and a dork who cannot even make eye contact with her crush, Ju Ujin. Meanwhile, there is Yeo Uiju, a man who gets on her nerves by loafing around her. As a soldier, he is more logical rather than empathetic, but he passes out whenever he gets drunk. He loses his face after meeting Sujeong, who drinks like a fish, but he starts to fall for her. By a twist of fate, he realizes he is the second grandson of Masung Group, and his older brother is Sujeong's crush, Ujin.
Kang Ha-Ri, with her bright personality, works part-time at a stationary store and a nail shop. Min Deul-Re was a popular actress, but she isn't so popular these days. Kim Eun-Hyang worked as a secretary prior to the birth of her daughter, but she now focuses on raising her daughter. These three women lose their most loved ones around the same time. Even though they are not related, they rely on each other to get through the tough times.
