The show's highlight is obviously the fantastic plot, which has all the aspects to keep you stuck to the screen for the long run. Park Do Ra belongs to a family with a bad financial condition; her main goal since childhood has been to escape it. She went on to become one of the most famous actresses in the country and gained a lot of wealth and money. However, although she became rich, she still lacked something. Suddenly, due to an incident, she loses her status and reaches the same place she began from. 

But she again meets an old friend, Go Pil Sung, who offers her a helping hand. As she finds someone close to her again in dire times, she starts to believe the good things in life again. As the show progresses, they might also fall in love with each other. We all have to wait and watch how the show develops to know that. 

3. Multi-layered writing

Although the plot might seem like a typical coming-of-age love story with a childhood trope, it has instances that can resonate a lot with certain people. Park Do Ha’s dysfunctional family and problematic mother put her in a lot of trouble. Her troubled childhood adds complexity to her character and makes her more relatable. Moreover, her connection with Go Pil Sung is the only aspect of her life that provides her solace and pushes her to become better.
