During a chance encounter at a bar, Lee Rae Won (Hyun Bin), a carefree, freelance photographer meets Soo Ih Na (Son Ye Jin) a stern editor-in-chief for a popular lifestyle magazine in South Korea. Ih Na, who had just gotten her heart broken over a c...

As soon as Ih Na arrived in her apartment, she placed her things on the couch, tied her hair and fetched herself some red wine. She knew she needed some time alone to really process what had just happened at the noraebang; Yeo Ri blaming her for her botched love life and most importantly, Rae Won admitting his true feelings for her.
When Ih Na agreed to tag along, never in her wildest dreams did she ever think that this would happen. Had she known, she would've just called up Son Mi, so they could have dinner together.
But Ih Na couldn't go back in time now, and she simply had to accept the fact that what has happened, reallyhappened. It wasn't a dream nor a hallucination, but a reality she couldn't escape.
Taking a sip of her red wine, Ih Na pondered on what Rae Won had said earlier; that she didn't have to like him back, that simply allowing him to have those feelings for her was enough.
His selflessness may have been worthy of Ih Na's admiration, but she couldn't help but ask... why? Why did he like her? What did he see in her that made her worthy of his feelings? She was nothing but broken, a woman who had given so much of herself to someone who wasn't worthy, but here was Rae Won, a man who didn't care about how lowly she looked at herself, because he was there to listen to her, to care for her, and most of all, to assure her that, in time, everything was going to be alright.
Ih Na knew her truth. She was never oblivious to it. She knew that she liked Rae Won back, but at the same time, she couldn't bring herself to admit it because she knew that it was far too early to get herself into something that was even close to a relationship.
Ih Na might have fallen out of love in the last two years of her relationship with Yong Hwa, but she knew that there was still a lot to sort out emotionally before she could even commit to someone else... even if that person was as kind and as loving as Rae Won.
Being in a relationship was a lot of work, and Ih Na knew that she had to fix herself first. She had to make herself whole again, before taking the plunge the second time around. Ih Na knew it was going to be difficult though, because she had gotten so used to being with Rae Won. Admittedly, she was at her happiest when she was with him.
In the two weeks that they had spent together, they laughed, had fun, shared so many stories of their life, that imagining the next two weeks, months and even years without him suddenly made Ih Na anxious... and lonely.
What was happening to her right now was more of a battle between her mind and her heart, and as she attempted to get some shut-eye after a long day, she could only hope that tomorrow, her last day as Rae Won's "assistant", would be a good one.
The following day, Ih Na woke up a lot earlier than expected.
At around 7 in the morning, she was already brewing coffee and toasting some bread, repeating the mantra, "I will think positive today, I will be happy today".
