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.
