Kim Dong Wook plays Han Moo Yeong, a lawyer with overempathy who has the exact opposite tendency to Lee Ro Um (Chun Woo Hee), a fraudster who cannot empathize.

Fans’ expectations grew as Kim Dong Wook’s role this time has an opposite charm to the cold and indifferent Lee Jung Hoon in MBC’s “Find Me in Your Memory”, in which he worked with Moon Ga Young.
