The story begins with Jane, a young woman reflecting on her childhood and the struggles she faced growing up under the control of her oppressive father. Her life is marked by a lack of autonomy, exemplified during birthdays when her wishes are consistently thwarted. As she faces obstacles and challenges, Jane's determination to pursue her dream of becoming a writer becomes the core of her narrative.
By the time Jane celebrates her 30th birthday, she has achieved her goal of becoming a writer, albeit as an assistant, crafting scripts for various media without ever turning down a job. Her life in the city with her irresponsible younger brother is fraught with dissatisfaction. When she finally gets a break by writing a script for an upcoming series, she seeks time off but faces challenges at home, particularly when she discovers her brother's unexpected new responsibilities—married life and impending fatherhood.
Jane's reaction to her brother's life choices is one of shock and frustration. This leads her to confide in her friends, who encourage her to take charge of her own life and consider her options. However, Jane faces a hurdle as the family property is in her brother's name, leaving her trapped. Thus begins her journey of self-discovery and rebellion against her father's rigid control, leading to her decision to look for low-cost rental apartments.
Ironically, Jane's situation takes a turn when she comes across an apartment owned by Nam, a character with a strong personality and his own set of issues. Initially unaware of the connection, Jane moves in and the two begin an unusual cohabitation. Their relationship is complicated by misunderstandings, as Jane assumes Nam is a woman, while he mistakenly believes she is also a male roommate. As they navigate their lives together, mutual respect grows, but there are plenty of comedic situations along the way.
While Jane navigates her tumultuous work life as she deals with a challenging director, Nam also faces his demons. During a moment of emotional vulnerability, Jane impulsively kisses Nam, unleashing a flurry of mixed emotions between them both. As Jane's professional life spirals into crises, her personal bonds deepen with Nam, showing that even during chaos, there is room for companionship and growth.
As Jane's professional life continues to be fraught with challenges, she finds solace in her growing relationship with Nam. A turning point unfolds when both Jane and Nam grapple with the concept of marriage, striking a deal to marry for convenience rather than love. This decision helps them navigate societal expectations and their respective hardships, but the underlying emotions complicate their bond as both fear the implications of a hollow relationship.
Despite the ups and downs in their marriage, Jane and Nam's connection deepens. Their struggles, intertwined with moments of heartfelt conversation, laughter, and sincerity, eventually lead them to confront their feelings honestly. Realizing that love and friendship often conquer hurdles, they strive to sustain their bond while dealing with the complexities of life, including conflicts with their families and personal insecurities.
