A dedicated professional, Sung Deok Mi (Park Min Young) lives for her work as an art gallery curator. Devoting herself to her work, she is exceptional in every way, save one.

A secret that rules every moment of her personal life...

Sung Deok Mi is the ultimate Cha Shi An (Jung Je Won) fangirl.

The devoted manager of a Shi An fansite, Deok Mi eats, breathes, and sleeps for Shi An. He is her sun, her moon. Her entire universe revolves around him.

And hide it she does. At least until Ryan Gold (Kim Jae Wook), the art gallery’s new director, saunters into her life.
