The unlikely pair fall in love and have a relationship that ends in what’s termed the ‘marriage of the century’. But as reality has shown, marriage is not a smooth ride; instead, it is more of a hand swing where lack of equal efforts from both partners creates frustration, jostling, and conflicts.
At the very beginning of the teaser, Hong Hae promises her lover that she will never make him cry. But as the honeymoon period of their marriage fades and life creeps in, cracks start developing and distance grows between the two, with Baek Hyun desperately trying to fill it, but Hong Hae appearing cold and distant.
Even on their anniversary, while Baek Hyun is ready to celebrate, bringing a beautiful bouquet for his wife, all she does is coldly ask about the significance. Frustrated, hurt beyond measure, Baek Hyun puts up with it for a long time.
