Synopsis
Ko Byeong Hee is a 33-year-old single woman working as a reporter in a pornographic magazine. Despite her age, she still holds a torch for her senior in high school and was shocked to learn that he is gay. To add to her misfortune, she found that she has cysts and require further examination to determine whether it's cancer. Thinking for the worst, she became depressed and went for a drinking spree in a suburban area outside of Seoul. Having missed the last train, she called her best friend, Park Seung Hye to come and fetch her back. Seung Hye in turn tasked her brother Cheol Su to fetch Byeong Hee back, but as events turn out, they had a 1-night stand there.

Byeong Hee was embarrased and devastated and blamed Cheol Su, a 24-year-old mechanic. However, both decided to keep this matter under wraps and move on with their lives. In the course of work, Byeong Hee met Bae Hee Myeong, a 34-year-old doctor, and Hee Myeong fell for her. Byeong Hee agreed to be his girlfriend and they started their courtship. But Cheol Su was not happy with Byeong Hee's new relationship and he started to woo her too. Byeong Hee kept rejecting him, but Cheol Su was still persistent. Hee Myeong then decided to proposed to Byeong Hee and she accepted.

Coincidentally, Byeong Hee had violent cramps at a bookstore and she contacted Seung Hye to come and fetch her. But Seung Hye was not around, and as luck would have it, Cheol Su picked up the phone and raced to Byeong Hee. Byeong Hee had the operation, and the first person she called out to after the operation is Cheol Su. This is when she realised that she has always been in love with Cheol Su, and hence she broke off with Hee Myeong. However, the couple still has to face many hurdles with family because of the 9 years age gap

My Take
This is a lighthearted comedy. Glad that I chose this show for a good laugh, after 2 very intense shows. However, I found this show not realistic because Byeong Hee has been rejecting Cheol Su all along and suddenly it just took a crisis for her to realise her love for him ?

Other than that, some scenes are pretty touching, like how Cheol Su converted a van to a campervan all by himself, just because Byeong Hee once mentioned that her dream is to tour the world with her beloved.

The love story between Byeong Hee's sister and the sister's employer is pretty comical too. It's the other extreme, a young woman with a middle-aged man. I pretty much enjoy the scenes which featuer both of them.
