Plot Summary

The story follows the lives of two girls, Eun-hee and Keum-hee, who are raised as twin sisters after their births occur on the same night. Eun-hee (played by Bae Doo-na) is portrayed as a spirited individual, while Keum-hee (played by Kim Yu-mi) is characterized as a model student.

Following the death of their father, Kap-sik, in a fire, a wealthy businessman named President Kim arrives seeking his long-lost granddaughter. Their mother, Kil-nyeo (Kim Hae-sook), deceives the president by presenting Keum-hee as his granddaughter. Years later, after facing personal hardships including single motherhood and financial instability, Eun-hee moves to Seoul. She eventually crosses paths with Seo In-woo (Shin Sung-woo), who is struggling to manage his late father's failing company. The two form a partnership to revive the business, leading to the eventual revelation of the long-held family secret.
