--------
Hana's life has become a never-ending series of bad luck.
She spends her days in a loop - wake up, work, pay bills, go home to her ex - then repeat. Nothing special or interesting ever happens to her; her days are more or less the same.
That is, until "Americano guy" (as he's notoriously known for at her job) makes his way into her life. His easy going nature and smoldering looks are enough to bring some spontaneity into her life, and she can't help but feel he is the breath of fresh air she had been seeking for so long.
Meanwhile, Joon-ho averts relationships and girls left and right. But when the smart, pretty barista catches his eye, it becomes almost sport for him to figure out everything about her. And even more than that, it becomes his mission to somehow, someway, have her by his side.
The more his interest piques, the more he strategizes by finding out everything he can about her life - including the ex-boyfriend that he's plotting to get rid of for her...for good.
Forever.
He only wants her, and he's willing to pay any price - and go any length - to make that happen.
