Taeyang Group is the largest conglomerate in South Korea. The Choi family who runs Taeyang has supposedly been under a curse for a hundred years that the first bride of the eldest son will always die. When the wealthy heiress Jang Yi-kyung (Yang Jin-sung) disappears right before her wedding to chaebol heir Choi Kang-joo (Lee Hong-gi), Na Doo-rim (Yang Jin-sung), a looka impostor, is brought in to take her place. Unlike the cold and calculating Yi-kyung, Doo-rim is sweet and sunny, and Kang-joo genuinely falls in love with her. As the wedding plans progress, Kang-joo and Yi-kyung's mothers both scheme and plot behind the scenes.[3]
A good-looking and educated second-generation chaebol heir. He has a prickly personality, and is self-indulgent and bad at relationships. But he is goodhearted underneath it all, and is harboring pain from his childhood.
Na Doo-rim is a sweet, homely girl who comes from a southern island village. Jang Yi-kyung is a chic, cold and calculating woman who wants to marry into the Choi family. Doo-rim and Yi-kyung are doppelgängers.
After having dinner with the drama crew on December 16, 2013, an accident occurred on an icy street which lead to Lee Hong-gi suffering a dislocated shoulder and facial scratches.[8] He was prescribed six weeks of rest and returned to the set on January 10, 2014.[9]
