In the bustling city of Seoul, where Hong Joshua, a successful businessman with a sharp mind and a penchant for planning every detail of his life, found himself at a crossroads after a marriage arrangement. But Joshua, ever the pragmatist, wasn't convinced he needed love to complete his life's blueprint. That was until his parents introduced him to Lee Seokmin, a young man with a heart of gold and a smile that could light up a room. Seokmin, with his innocent and childlike nature, had grown up shielded from the harsh realities of the world by his loving family. His pure heart and genuine kindness had made him beloved to others, but at the same time his naivety often left him vulnerable to the cruelties of the world. Despite this, Seokmin's spirit remained unbroken, and his optimism was infectious. When Joshua and Seokmin's paths crossed, their worlds collided in unexpected ways. Joshua, with his methodical approach to life, was drawn to Seokmin's warmth and sincerity, even as he struggled to understand the young man's unbridled enthusiasm and idealism. Seokmin, on the other hand, was captivated by Joshua's confidence and ambition, though he sometimes found himself perplexed by the older man's serious demeanor. As they embarked on their arranged marriage, both Joshua and Seokmin were forced to confront their differences and adapt to a new way of living together. Would Joshua's practicality and Seokmin's innocence complement each other, or would their contrasting natures tear them apart?
