Introduction*:
As the eldest daughter, Ja-young shoulders the
responsibility of caring for her younger siblings as well
as her ailing mother.  She had been engaged to marry
Sang-min, but shortly before the wedding Sang-min
abruptly rejects her so that he can marry Min-joo, who
is his boss as well as a wealthy young heiress.  From
there, things only get worse for Ja-young--a lot worse.  
Meanwhile, Ja-young's younger brother (Tae-young)
develops a friendship with Sun-joo (Min-joo' younger
sister).  When he discovers that the fiance of Sun-joo's
sister is his sister's ex-fiance, he plots revenge on the
man who jilted his older sister, while Sun-joo (who
resents her ambitious older sister) seems only too
happy to cooperate.
