Synopsis

The drama started off with Ma Yoo Hee being potrayed as a Witch. The Managing Director of an advertising company under her father's conglomorate, she is cold, sacarstic, and no-nonsense. This was because her father treated her like a boy and her mother walked out of the family, so she did not receive love since young. Notorious for her quirky behaviour, nobody wants to be her housekeeper. It was then she employed Chae Moo Ryong, an ex-medical student but turned aspiring chef. Moo Ryong agreed to work as her housekeeper and love consultant, to pay off his debt for crashing into her expensive car. At the same time, it was a relief for Moo Ryong, who didn't have a place to stay (because his brother got married and they run out of rooms).

Through his childhood girlfriend Sung Mi, Moo Ryong managed to secure a position as a junior chef under Johnny, a world-reknown chef who came to Korea. His culinary skills flourished under Johnny's guidance, and at the same time, Yoo Hee's looks and confidence in love flourished under's Moo Ryoung's excellent makeover.

Yoo Hee' new image attracted both her old friend Johnny and her first love Joon Ha, a doctor who returned from overseas. Despite Johnny's revelation, Yoo Hee rejected him. But Joon Ha was pretty successful in winning Yoo Hee's love. Unknowingly to Moo Ryoung, he has also fallen for Yoo Hee.

Just before Yoo Hee's and Joon Ha's engagement, Moo Ryong found that Joon Ha had been wooing Yoo Hee under her father's instruction because her father did not want Yoo Hee to fall in love with himself. He was furious and revealed it to Yoo Hee. She wanted to call off the wedding, but Joon Ha met with an accident and hurt his right hand and could not practise surgery anymore. Despite finding out that the injury is fake later, Yoo Hee decided to be back be Joon Ha in order not to disappoint her dad.

However, Yoo Hee decided to live for herself at the moment when they were taking their vows and ran off with Moo Ryoung.

My Take

I liked this show in the beginning, until it kinda become draggy towards the middle. I also find some parts of the story to be unrealistic. Especially the part about Moo Ryoung giving up so many opportunities to be a top Chef, just to be with Yoo Hee. He left in the middle of a competition to run to Yoo Hee's wedding. He turned down a top French Chef's invitation to understudy him, and he also gave up the chance to work with Johnny in New York. It's a surprise that Yoo Hee loves such an emotional man who doesn't care for his career. Oh well, maybe because she is rich, so it doesn't matter.
