Not only does it have an interesting premise that'll grab your attention right away, it also stars two well-known South Korean actors in the leading roles.

It's a Korean romantic comedy series coming from Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha creators Yoo Je-won and Shin Ha-eun.

It tells the love story of a project manager named Bae Seok-ryu, who decides to return to her hometown, hoping for a fresh start in life, and an old childhood friend and young architect, Choi Seung-hyo, with whom she shares a complicated past.
