One night in Bangkok. That's all it was supposed to be. Jennie Kim-ice-veined CEO of Korea's most powerful conglomerate-doesn't do reckless. She doesn't break rules, and she certainly doesn't break. But she did. For her. Lisa Manoban-charismatic, cocky, infuriatingly magnetic. A low-level developer with a smile that could start wars... and secrets that could end empires. Jennie never meant to see her again. Never meant to want more. Until Lisa walks into her boardroom. Cool. Unbothered. Dangerous. Jennie should fire her. Bury the night. Move on. But Lisa's collecting something-slowly, deliberately. Not power. Not titles. Jennie's attention. Her silence. Her control. One whispered command at midnight, one lingering look across a meeting room, and everything starts to unravel. Because Lisa isn't just anyone. And Jennie isn't used to being wanted like this. Not quietly. Not mercilessly. Not like she belongs to someone. And in the end- She might. Only question is... Who's really playing who?

Lalisa Manoban's childhood dream shattered right in front of her eyes once she flickered her eyes open in an unfamiliar room. After a rough year of meeting the same psychiatrist over and over, also locked herself in the room weeping for the whole day, Lisa at last learn to move on and started a fresh new life. "May I know what is your name?" Politely, the drop-dead gorgeous lady asked me. Her face was full of curiosity, hope...and despair. "Lalisa Manoban." I flashed a toothy grin to the customer, kind of wanted to cheer her up. The cup of hot cocoa was trembling in her hand, created the berserk wave of her drink before it dropped upon the tiles and shattered in pieces. "N-no way..." She was as a stunt as a statue on her stand, her hand was freeze in the air while tears could be seen pooled in her eyes.

Kim Group General Hospital is known for saving lives. Unfortunately, it is also where chaos thrives. Dr. Lisa Manobal, a brilliant but sleepy neurosurgeon, transfers to the hospital alongside her best friends, Jisoo and Seulgi. Kind-hearted, ridiculously talented, and completely unaware of her own charm, Lisa quickly becomes one of the hospital's most beloved doctors. Dr. Jennie Kim, the hospital owner's daughter and a feared cardiologist, is everything Lisa isn't-strict, intimidating, and endlessly dedicated to her work. But behind her cold reputation is a woman longing for something more than hospital corridors and endless responsibilities. As their paths cross, curiosity turns into friendship, friendship into love, and suddenly two doctors find themselves navigating impossible surgeries, jealous rivals, chaotic best friends, hospital gossip, and a romance neither of them expected. A heartwarming story filled with laughter, healing, friendship, and love-because sometimes the person who saves your heart isn't a cardiologist. It's the neurosurgeon who accidentally steals it.

Jennie Kim is the "Iron Fortress"-a cold, untouchable CEO who rules her empire with steel and silence. She doesn't believe in the supernatural until her mansion begins to breathe with a life of its own. Flickering lights, a rogue vacuum, and a playful, staticky voice calling her "Nini." Lisa is a ghost with a choice. She wasn't trapped in the mansion; she followed Jennie home from the hospital, drawn to the lonely woman behind the power. But Lisa isn't just a haunting. She is Lalisa Manobal, a girl trapped in a three-year coma, the victim of a betrayal hidden behind a tragic "accident." As the CEO and the Silly Ghost fall into a love that defies the laws of physics, Jennie must bridge the gap between the living and the spirit to save the girl she can't even touch. Can a love built on shadows survive the truth, or will the lights finally go out?

If you only knew.

**INT. COFFEE SHOP - DAY** Jennie and Lisa sit across from each other, the air heavy with unspoken words. Jennie's hands grip her coffee cup tightly, her knuckles white. Lisa stares at the table, unable to meet Jennie's gaze. **JENNIE** I have to pay because you lied. Do you even realize what you've done? **LISA** I'm sorry... because I lied. Jennie's voice cracks, but she holds back her tears. Lisa reaches out, her hand hovering over Jennie's, but Jennie pulls away. **JENNIE** Sorry doesn't fix this, Lisa. You broke us. You broke *everything*. Lisa's shoulders slump, her tears falling silently. The space between them feels infinite. --- Love and lies often intertwine, creating a fragile balance. Love seeks truth, yet lies can mask pain or protect feelings. While honesty strengthens bonds, deceit can erode trust. True love thrives in transparency, but lies, even well-intentioned, risk breaking hearts. In the end, love's purity is tested by the weight of lies.

💔 Unwanted Lisa Manoban was born into the richest and most powerful family in Thailand. Her father, Anurak Manoban, a Thai business tycoon, and her mother, Kim Soojin, a Korean heiress, built an empire that ruled every industry-oil, hotels, automobiles, entertainment, stocks, and beyond. Her elder sister, Chaeyoung Manoban, and elder brother, Bambam Manoban, were admired everywhere they went, treated like royalty. To the world, the Manoban family was untouchable. But to little Lisa, it was all empty. She would run with tiny feet to her father, pulling his hand: > "Dada... pway wif me, pwease..." And his cold voice would push her away: "Go away, Lisa. You are not important." She would tug at her sister's dress, eyes shining: > "Unnie... Lisa sit wif you?" But Chaeyoung would shove her off with disgust: "Don't call me unnie. You're not my sister." She would hug her toy and look at Bambam: > "Oppa... pway toy wif Lisa?" But he would glare and snap: "Don't bother me, Lisa. You mean nothing here." And her mother? She never even looked at her. Just silence. In a palace filled with gold, cars, and diamonds, Lisa had no love-no mama hugs, no dada kisses, no sister, no brother. Just loneliness. At night, clutching her small hands, she whispered to the sky: > "God... why nobody want Lisa? Why Lisa unwanted... even by her own famiwy?" And in this whole cruel world... did Lisa have anyone who truly wanted her in their life? ---

They're rich. They're gorgeous. They're in love. Lisa Manoban, a ruthless, feared CEO who built her empire with blood, brilliance, and zero mercy. And Jennie Kim, her spoiled, sweet café-owning wife. Everyone thinks they're innocent - too perfect to be real. They know each other too well. They share everything. Even their secrets. Especially the ones no one should ever know. Because what's locked behind closed doors... might just be the reason they're so perfect. And once you know- you can't unsee it. G!p

When sharp-minded lawyer Lisa Manoban accepts a meeting at the Kim estate, she expects a routine legal consultation - not a seat at a matchmaking luncheon. A single mix-up turns a professional visit into an awkward encounter with Jennie Kim, the elusive heiress of the Kim conglomerate, who believes Lisa is one of the suitors her grandmother handpicked. Jennie, tired of shallow affections and people chasing her fortune, has been pretending to be wheelchair-bound to expose those with insincere intentions. But Lisa's calm indifference and blunt honesty throw her off balance. Lisa isn't impressed by money, nor is she playing along with anyone's game - especially not when she's roped into one against her will. What begins as a misunderstanding soon becomes something far more complicated. Between corporate secrets, family expectations, and a grandmother's relentless scheming, Jennie and Lisa find themselves drawn to each other in ways neither anticipated. In a world built on appearances and contracts, The Case of Miss Kim asks what happens when sincerity becomes the most binding agreement of all.

She shakes her head again. "I don't know. I'd rather spend my time helping other people find love. It's never been important to me." Jennie Jane is a good matchmaker. An excellent one. She loves studying people, getting to know them, figuring out what makes them work well with a partner. She loves her job, she loves watching other people get happy endings. She never needed a happy ending of her own. That is, until she meets Lisa Manobal at a wedding. ©️ story not mine, this is an adaptation. credits to the original author of this story.
