The Rise and Fall of Joy: A Tale of Gaming and Heartbreak
The dramatic story unfolds within the walls of a gaming company called Joy, led by its CEO, Jun. The narrative takes flight when Jun calls all employees for a significant announcement, but it's not the good news everyone hopes for. To their shock, Jun reveals that the company is bankrupt, unable to pay off debts and obligations. As the employees process this disheartening news, our protagonist Yum questions the future of her job, feeling betrayed by Jun’s sudden departure after he previously promised loyalty.
With Jun's departure, tension escalates among the employees, and they vent their frustrations on Yum. She begrudgingly agrees to travel to Busan to cancel contracts tied to their projects. Simultaneously, another main character, Dihan, receives news from his boss about being assigned to help a failing company—Joy. Initially resistant due to his dislike for gaming, Dihan is persuaded to investigate the situation further.
In Busan, Yum encounters a stranger who wrongly assumes she is responsible for the company’s failure, escalating her humiliation. As she flees, Dihan arrives at Joy and meets Jun, who blames Yum for his fall from grace following a viral video that turned the public against her.
Dihan, unamused by Jun’s tale of woe, is adamant he won't join Joy, but his assistant convinces him otherwise. As they navigate the emotional aftermath of the company's collapse and their personal struggles, their paths dramatically cross. Yum tries hopelessly to defend her reputation, while Dihan grapples with his own biases against gaming.
In a twist of fate, while Dihan attempts to walk away from Joy, coincidental encounters between Yum and Dihan spark a complicated relationship. The two experience a comedic series of unfortunate events, including miscommunication and misunderstandings that lead Yum to believe Dihan is a shareholder set to ruin her further.
During a hospital visit due to a concussion caused by their earlier mishaps, an unexpected bond forms between Dihan and Yum. As they share moments of vulnerability, feelings begin to blossom, though elusively wrapped in external chaos. Dihan’s impending jealousy over Yum’s interactions with another colleague, Chan, adds further layers to their intricate relationship.
Amid the turmoil, the duo unites to work on a new project—a game that could redefine Joy’s fate. The competition intensifies as they face rival companies vying for dominance in the gaming industry, but with each challenge, Dihan and Yum grow closer, each inspiring the other to challenge their perceptions about their individual lives.
With the clock ticking down to the launch of their game, tensions surge as they face pressure from shareholders and internal sabotage. Dihan’s determination to protect what they’ve built drives him to make risky decisions, including countering the manipulative actions of Kong, a rival CEO.
During the tumultuous lead-up to the game’s launch, Yum's heartfelt personal story resonates with the public, revealing her motivations and establishing her as a beloved figure among fans and investors alike. Yet, amidst her rising popularity, Yum grapples with her self-worth and the blurred lines of professional and personal aspirations.
In a climactic showdown, betrayals come to light, with colleagues revealing disloyalty just before the launch of their game. But with Yum and Dihan steadfast in their mission, they confront challenges head-on, culminating in a heartwarming success that revitalizes Joy and strengthens their connection.
As the story unfolds, a year passes marked by Dihan’s unresolved feelings for Yum, who has also silently continued to cherish their bond. An unexpected encounter reignites their relationship, leading to confessions of mutual affection that had been lingering unspoken.
Joy concludes on a hopeful note as Dihan and Yum, having weathered the storm of betrayal, misunderstandings, and ambition, finally unite in love. Their journey hints at the possibilities of reconciliation, resilience, and the pursuit of dreams in a world that often blurs the lines between personal ambition and teamwork. As they embrace their relationship and look towards the future, viewers are left with inspiring themes of second chances, personal growth, and the enduring strength found in partnership.
