Season 1:
Tae Ju can't believe her ears sitting with So Rim's soon-to-be husband's family. Her whole life, she has sacrificed herself for her younger siblings and did everything her mother wanted. But this time, it's gone too far. She walks out disturbed and angry. However, the sight of Sang Jun's photo exhibition posters pushes her to her limits.
Tae Ju and So Rim get into a big fight over what happened at dinner. However, Tae Ju still wants her out of her apartment. Meanwhile, Sang Jun, a long-time leading role actor, slowly gets pushed out of significant roles. His family, who lived off of his success, wants him to make a comeback by supporting his photo essay book launch.
Luckily for Sang Jun, Tae Ju's spiteful desire saves him from a psychotic stalker out to seriously harm him. The two who once were lovers reunite with opposing emotions. Sang Jun is thrilled, while Tae Ju is full of rage. Meanwhile, Se Ran can't stand the thought of helping family members with their housing.
Tae Ju, who had suffered a long time because of Sang Jun, doesn't find the reunion with him at all pleasant. However, her heart becomes agitated when he tells her sincerely that he has loved her all along. Meanwhile, Sang Jun learns about a secret in Gun Woo's relationship and gets troubled by it.
Tae Ju realizes that everything that happens is only for the show, but she’s not sure if her feelings realize them too. As they move further into the filming, Sang Jun’s unpredictable behaviors continue to make Tae Ju’s heart beat faster. Meanwhile, Se Ran is not happy with the fact that Tae Ju is Sang Jun’s reality-show partner, and Jung Sook hates everything about Sang Jun and his family.
What is supposed to be a well-planned dating show between Tae Ju and Sang Jun turns into another stressful issue she has to face. Although it is true that it bothers her, she does have mixed feelings about the incident. To make things worse, Tae Ju gets a call from Se Ran. Meanwhile, So Rim and Tae Ju run into a shocking truth while looking for a new place to live.
Sang Jun feels the need to make an official and sincere apology to Tae Ju and makes a surprise visit. What is supposed to be a quick apology turns into a mess when Tae Ju’s mother also makes an unannounced visit. Meanwhile, So Rim is unaware of the fact that Nam Soo is two-timing her or that his new girlfriend is one of her students.
Tae Ju and Myeong Jae, her uncle, spend time together sharing their old memories. After hearing that everything has worked out well for him, Tae Ju couldn’t be happier for him. However, he seems to be in need of a few favors, and Tae Ju gladly agrees to help without knowing how it will affect her. Meanwhile, Sang Jun finds out about what Tae Ju had to go through because of him.
Tae Ju realizes that she was scammed by her uncle. The money she lost to fraud is too much for her to handle, and now she has to move to somewhere cheaper in order to cover the debt. Meanwhile, she runs into someone she never wants to see again on her way out of his house. Sang Jun wants to help Tae Ju, even if it means that he has to accept unwanted roles.
It didn’t take long before Jung Sook found out about what Tae Ju was going through. After a lengthy conversation with Tae Ju, Jung Sook decides that she should live with her to let her know that she’s not alone. Meanwhile, what Sang Jun expected when he agreed to take the role comes back to haunt him in the most humiliating way possible.
Tae Ju now realizes how genuine her feelings for Sang Jun are, but for some reason, Sang Jun seems to be avoiding her calls or messages. There is not a single moment of the day when she doesn’t think of Sang Jun, and it is painful to endlessly wait for a call that never comes. Meanwhile, So Rim gets into a brawl with Sang Min and ends up causing inconvenience to Moo Young.
Tae Ju does not want to waste another second of her life ignoring her true feelings and heads straight to see Sang Jun. However, she ends up causing a scene at Se Ran’s after having too many drinks earlier that night. Meanwhile, Jung Sook’s pleasant stay at Yun Ho’s guesthouse gets interrupted when she gets a call from Se Ran.
Sang Min runs into Tae Ju at the family gathering between her family and her fiance’s. The two argued a little, but everything seemed fine until Sang Min decided to do something monstrous to Tae Ju. Sadly, Sang Min does not realize that this will end up snowballing into something that she will regret for the rest of her life.
Sang Min and her husband-to-be do not share mutual friends or relatives, and he has no reason to drag Sang Min into this marriage fraud. It turns out there is one connection that made all this possible. Sang Min is in despair after processing what just happened to her. Meanwhile, Hyun Jung comes close to figuring out that there are people who were aware of this fraud before the wedding.
A date has been set for Sang Jun’s visit to Tae Ju’s house, but not all members of her family are pleased to hear the news. So Rim feels something special toward one of her members at the Pilates center, but she’s not sure what his feelings are like. At the hospital, Gun Woo runs into the lady he had a crush on when he was a medical student.
Se Ran feels like Tae Ju is taking Sang Jun away from her, and she gives Tae Ju a hard time out of her loneliness and emptiness. The situation is not easy for Sang Jun either, but he faces up to it as a firstborn. Meanwhile, So Rim doesn’t like it when she runs into Nam Soo just outside of her dad’s curry place. So Rim gets a part-time job offer at a cosmetics company.
Sang Jun’s visit to Tae Ju’s house turns into a long-term stay, and Se Ran is shocked when she hears about it. With Sang Jun confidently volunteering to live with Tae Ju and her family for the first two years of marriage, Se Ran collapses. Gun Woo happens to be passing by at the right moment and takes Se Ran home. So Rim is having a hard time at Moo Young’s office due to unpleasant encounters.
Sang Jun is excited to bring Tae Ju home for the weekend, but at the same time, he’s worried that she would have to go through something awful. Unsurprisingly, Eun Ju and Se Ran put their heads together to turn Tae Ju’s stay into her worst nightmare. Gun Woo takes it one step at a time to show Hyun Jung how sincere his feelings are.
Tae Ju and Sang Jun hold off telling their families about their marriage registration for the time being, while Jung Sook and Se Ran become closer friends without knowing what Tae Ju and Sang Jun did. Meanwhile, Ji Hye suggests to Moo Young they should have a double date brunch with Nam Soo, and Ji Woo and Soo Bin each claim they have a secret to their childhood.
Sang Jun and Tae Ju prepare to tell their families about their marriage registration, and Gun Woo visits Happy Pilates to spy on Moo Young. Meanwhile, the secret from the past slowly reveals itself, strangling Se Ran and affecting other people in the house.
Tae Ju shows Sang Jun the mysterious letter she had received. Sang Jun tells Tae Ju he will put bodyguards on her for the time being. Meanwhile, Ji Hye asks So Rim about her ex-boyfriend that works in the company, and So Rim, whose feelings for Mu Yeong have grown, makes a big decision.
The Christmas tree Mu Yeong leaves in front of the restaurant causes a commotion within Tae Ju's family. Each of the family members begins to guess who it could be. Meanwhile, Ji Hye thinks Hyun Jung is the woman Mu Yeong has been secretly dating.

Nam Soo can’t stop thinking that Mu Yeong’s girlfriend could be So Rim. Sang Min gets a message from Dong Chan and decides that it’s necessary that she talks to him one last time. Meanwhile, Tae Ju gets a chance to introduce her younger brother to Hyun Jung, but she does not know that they are more than just acquainted with each other.
Tae Ju recognizes Jang Mi who ran into her and Sang Jun while taking a walk around the neighborhood. Eun Ju is shocked when she witnesses this. Sang Min gathers up the whole family for an important announcement. Meanwhile, Mu Yeong musters up the courage to tell So Rim that he misses her.
Jang Mi continues to be a nuisance to the people around Sang Jun, and Tae Ju stops someone from vandalizing the restaurant. Meanwhile, Se Ran sends Hyun Jung to Gun Woo's house on an errand, and So Rim falls victim to Nam Soo's plan to destroy her employment at the company.
Tae Ju runs into a strange woman vandalizing the tree in front of Today's Curry and gets into a scuffle. Meanwhile, Nam Soo asks So Rim to meet him, but Gun Woo deals with him instead. While doing so, Gun Woo finds out a few too many things about Mu Yeong and runs back to So Rim, telling her to make sure that she cuts all ties with him.
Hyun Jung is shocked at her pregnancy and tells Tae Ju to keep it a secret for the time being. Later, when Tae Ju goes to stop Hyun Jung from wanting to leave the country alone to raise the child, she learns something unexpected. Meanwhile, Mu Yeong tells So Rim that he will help her with what happened at the company.
It was Sang Jun who found Tae Ju lying on the cold floor of the parking lot near Sang Jun’s house. He immediately takes her to the hospital. Young Sik checks out the security footage before Sang Jun does and delivers the details of the footage to none other than Se Ran. So Rim has a lot on her mind and struggles to hide her feelings.
After finding out about the relationship between Mu Yeong and So Rim and the fact that she’s what’s breaking them apart, Ji Hye comes up with a plan to reveal how she honestly feels. Meanwhile, Sang Jun feels lost when he realizes that Tae Ju is suffering from short-term memory loss. Gun Woo runs into Hyun Jung in front of her cafe and sees her suddenly collapse to the ground.
Sang Jun will do whatever it takes to bring Tae Ju’s memories back, and he believes the person caught on the security footage has something to do with the incident. He wants to report the incident to the police, but, for some reason, Se Ran and a few other family members want to cover up the incident. Meanwhile, the family finds out about So Rim’s new boyfriend.
Jang Mi barges into Young Sik’s studio to threaten the family with the secret behind Ji Woo. There, Sang Jun learns that he is Ji Woo’s birth father and that Jang Mi is the mother. Although he denies it, the DNA test says otherwise. The fact that Young Sik, Eun Ju, and Se Ran already knew about this makes Sang Jun sick. Tae Ju’s memory loss is not the only problem he has now.
Tae Ju tries her best to recover her memories of Sang Jun. Meanwhile, Sang Jun has lost his faith in his family and let them know that he will be taking care of his matters moving forward. It was inevitable that Ji Hye would find out about the past relationship between Nam Soo and So Rim, but it might be too late for So Rim to be honest with her.
The only thing Sang Jun can come up with to take care of his mess is sacrificing himself, and he’s willing to lie to Tae Ju to do so. Tae Ju, on the other hand, does not understand Sang Jun’s recent weird behaviour. Meanwhile, Mu Yeong asks Gun Woo more about Nam Soo’s character, and Hyun Jung plans a trip to Chicago without letting Gun Woo know.
Tae Ju cares about Sang Jun as much as Sang Jun does, and she wants to get to the bottom of the reason for Sang Jun’s rash behaviours. Hyun Jung’s plan to leave Gun Woo fails when he finds out about her departure to Chicago. Gun Woo then tells everyone about his relationship with Hyun Jung, but not everyone is pleased to hear about it. Seung Gu wants to run more paternity tests for Sang Jun’s sake.
It was inevitable that Tae Ju would find out why Sang Jun was trying so hard to get a divorce. When she does, she doesn’t doubt Sang Jun but wants to get the paternity test done herself. Mal Soon and Jung Sook are at Hyun Jung’s house to get rid of Gun Woo. So Rim has had enough of Nam Soo’s shamelessness and actively participates in exposing how Nam Soo has been abusing his authority while in office.
Hyun Jung confirms her feelings for Gun Woo through an unexpected accident. On Gipeun Cosmetics' anonymous online forum, a post revealing Mu Yeong and So Rim's relationship causes rumours to spread. Meanwhile, Sang Jun sees someone on his agency's security footage and begins to doubt the authenticity of the positive paternity test results.
Seeing Ji Woo feel excluded from his family reminds Tae Ju of her old days. Sang Jun and Seung Gu are thorough in retaking the DNA paternity test. The results are in, and the first thing Sang Jun does is demand from Young Sik for an explanation. Nam Soo is on the verge of losing his position at the headquarters and is waiting to be relocated.
Ji Hye is glad that her mother is finally back in Korea. Over excited and over zealous, Ji Hye puts her mother on her call with Mu Yeong. Meanwhile, So Rim finally and officially introduces Mu Yeong to her father, and Mu Yeong can’t stop feeling nervous. Hyun Jung and Gun Woo seem to be doing well as they move in together with Gun Woo’s family. Everything is right where it belongs, but Ji Woo struggles to find his place in the world.
Although Ji Woo is a decent boy who would never do anything rash, the stress that he gets from his family makes him run away from home. Everyone looks for him but he is nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, Mu Yeong’s ex-wife catches him with So Rim at his home. Although he despises her and wants her out of his life, Ji Hye wishes to become family again with her.
Tae Ju and Sang Jun miraculously find Ji Woo at a place where he went on a trip with his family. They decide not to force him back home and let him stay hidden in a safe place until he feels better. Meanwhile, Mu Yeong finally goes to meet So Rim’s family. The siblings greet him and consider him a beloved family member.
Mu Yeong reassures So Rim that everything will be all right after ignoring Hee Eun's terminal illness. Ji Woo spends his time at the guest house and feels closer to Tae Ju than Young Sik. Meanwhile, some people come rushing into Young Sik's studio and ask questions about the past.
Reporters from various papers barge into Young Sik's studio unannounced. As they ask for clarification on the issue that Young Sik raised Sang Jun's child, Young Sik tells them it is true. Meanwhile, Tae Ju and Sang Jun take Ji Woo back to the family. He is happy that the curry family is genuinely relieved to see him healthy.
So Rim decides to take over the curry restaurant after breaking up with Mu Yeong and quitting her job. Sang Jun plans to charge Yong Sik through his agency for what he did. Meanwhile, Sang Jun and Hyun Jung intend to get Mu Yeong and So Rim together.
Tae Ju can't believe her ears sitting with So Rim's soon-to-be husband's family. Her whole life, she has sacrificed herself for her younger siblings and did everything her mother wanted. But this time, it's gone too far. She walks out disturbed and angry. However, the sight of Sang Jun's photo exhibition posters pushes her to her limits.
After the big fight between Se Ran and Young Sik, the family is put into a very tense state. As a doctor and the oldest sibling, Tae Ju does her best to relieve the family stress. Meanwhile, Sang Jun tries to find Kyung Soon to get to the bottom of the misunderstanding. He wants her to confess to Young Sik that she ripped his artwork.
Kyung Soon flees the scene as she finds out that she has been set up. Although it is obvious that she is lying to Young Sik, he still trusts his mother over Sang Jun. Meanwhile, Ji Hye learns that Hee Eun has been faking her illness. The disappointment is already too great for her to take but she also hears that she is not even her father’s biological daughter.
The revenge on Hee Eun begins with Tae Ju acting as Sang Jun’s proxy. She makes it difficult for Hee Eun to get Sang Jun’s advertisement contract. Meanwhile, Ji Hye asks Sang Min to help her meet Hyun Jung. She deeply regrets what she did with her mom and also wants to know the details about why Mu Yeong took her in as his daughter.
Tae Ju tries to help Gab Bun recover by giving her guitar lessons. Sang Jun also gives his mother a chance to audition for a role in his new movie. However, the role somehow resembles what Se Ran has done to Sang Jun. Meanwhile, So Rim finally begins to spend a fruitful life with Mu Yeong and Ji Hye.
Now that Hee Eun is gone for good, things for So Rim and Mu Yeong are finally starting to work out. As Ji Hye sincerely apologizes for what she has done, So Rim’s parents decide to forgive her. Meanwhile, the case between Sang Jun and Young Sik doesn’t seem to get any better. Young Sik is still in hiding and Sang Jun still continues on with his movie.
Sang Jun throws himself to protect Young Sik. Although he can never forgive him, deep down, he still cares for him as a brother. As for Nam Soo and Hee Eun, they are now permanently out of the picture behind bars. The day of Tae Ju and Sang Jun’s marriage has finally come. With all troubles and worries gone, the big family will only have happy days from now.
