Summary*:

Ji-hyun is an aspiring scriptwriter and Kang-wook is a plastic surgeon.  They meet while on vacation in Thailand.  Without knowing anything about each other, they have a one-night stand.  However, it turns out that they each have a "significant other" back in Korea.  Ji-hyun is engaged to Jong-hyuk, the son of a powerful businessman.  Kang-wook has a high school sweetheart (Min-kyung) that he is on the verge of marrying.  The story goes on about how both Ji-hyun and Kang-wook can't forget their passionate night together, but try to suppress their feelings for each other because of their responsibilities to their families and their respective fiance(e).

Factoid*
:  This drama illustrates the subservient role of women in Korean culture.  Ji-hyun had to literally beg her husband and his family to allow her to work after marriage.
