The lead character in the story is almost 30, named Hong Geum-Bo, a top supervisor for the Financial Supervisory Service. She is smart, responsible, calm, and very committed to doing her job correctly.

While investigating Hanmin Securities, a company that has raised red flags for suspicious financial activity, she is ordered to infiltrate the company using an alias. For this purpose, she creates a false persona as Hong Jang-Mi, a 20-year-old fresh high school graduate, to go undercover.

In her role at Hanmin Securities, she meets the new CEO of the company, Sin Jeong-Woo. He has a lot of experience managing a business and is well-known for aggressively taking over other businesses. Sin Jeong-Woo believes that success is based only on the numbers.

When Hong Jang-Mi meets him, he is surprised because she resembles Hong Geum-Bo. Hong Geum-Bo was someone Sin Jeong-Woo had previously loved deeply. At the same time, Geum-bo's roommates also feel doubtful about her, as she looks much older than a 20-year-old.

This way, her journey becomes quite adventurous and challenging, which fans will enjoy when the K-drama arrives on January 17.
