The perfect recipe for disaster:
1) An arranged marriage.
2) Two people who hate each other with all their might.
3)Two brothers who do not get along at all, pretending to be civil for the sake of their childrenʼs arrangement and their dying father.
----
When Yejin hears that her grandfather has planned to marry her off to her asshole of a cousin, her first reaction is to kill someone, preferably someone whose name started with a "B" and ended with an "N" but for the sake of her dying grandfather, she puts up with him just for once, she tries, but to no avail is he successful in clearing the hateful aura which Bin emits.
She knows it's a scheme to strengthen the weak bond her father shares with his brother but what she doesn't know is why does she have to be the one to execute it? And with Bin out of everyone in the world? The one person she hoped to God would someday be just hit by a truck.
Both try to get back at each other, every tactic worse than the last, but they don't know; when the heart softens, even the most terrible of prank by your lover becomes amusing.
Cusses are shared, so is laughter. Vulnerable momomets which surface rarely come and go as frequently as the feeling of anger and betrayal- because in the end, that's what marriage is all about, it's about compromise and understanding.
