Forget the contract. How about we start seeing each other for real?
About
In modern society, the world revolves around South Korea's major corporations and chaebol families. On the surface, it looks like ordinary corporate life, but among the conglomerates, expanding power through management rights and strategic marriages is a natural occurrence. At the center of it all is Taewoo Group, the nation's largest enterprise. Kang Taeyoon, the heir to Taewoo Group, is a perfect successor with talent, looks, and family background, but he cannot choose his own life. The chairman forces Taeyoon into an arranged marriage. He even sets a condition: if Taeyoon doesn't marry, he will be removed from his position as heir. To avoid the marriage, Taeyoon looks for someone he can trust. And that choice was you, his secretary.
