All people in the world, as long as they are alive, constantly yearn for and search for that daunting yet beautiful love. Because love is a sweet dream...
A brief encounter with a completely unknown rich young man leads her into a fatal and beautiful love. But this also brings immense sorrow, and after six years of waiting, she meets that man again.
Love is a sweet dream! The only love in fate!
Cheon Eun-jai, who loves cooking more than doing homework, secretly participated in a cooking competition and won the championship. As part of the prize, Eun-jai went to an Italian culinary school for further studies.
To obtain the secret recipe for making pasta, Eun-jai sought out the owner of the house she once rented, but the owner had already moved. With no money left and unable to find the house owner, Eun-jai encounters a haughty man named Han Yi-jun, who is also looking for the same person.
In front of such a man, Eun-jai unconsciously opens up to him and falls in love. One morning, Yi-jun mistakenly thinks that Jung Hyun-seong, who suddenly appears, is Eun-jai's boyfriend, and flies back to Korea...
Character Introduction:
Eun-jai (played by Han Jae-yeong):
She is a banquet designer among the kitchen staff of a third-rate cafeteria, having dropped out of the Italian Culinary School ICIF after graduating from high school. Optimistic, positive, confident, she never loses heart, sometimes scatterbrained, but always pure-hearted. Everyone wants to treat her like a younger sister, lover, or close friend. She is a skilled cook but somewhat indulgent. When patients in the same room as her during her hospital stay wanted to eat something, she would rush out to cook it for them even while receiving an IV drip. The man she met in a one-night stand, Ma Gwang-seok, was actually deceiving her. His real name is Han Yi-jun, not a jobless wanderer, but the heir of a large tycoon and her company's boss. Despite being angry about his deception, her love for him deepens instead of cooling.
Yi-jun (played by Cho Hyeon-jae):
Heir of a large enterprise with over 30 subsidiaries, and Minister of Planning for the subsidiary’s catering department. Graduated from an American university with an MBA, impeccable in appearance, education, character, and hobbies. The only regret is that his parents divorced when he was less than five years old. During his graduation from university in the UK, he heard news about his mother. Right after finishing his studies and returning to Korea to join the military, he decided to go to Italy to meet his birth mother. In Italy, he spent only one night with Eun-jai, but her figure constantly appeared in his mind. After appearing in front of her as her superior, he changed his previous guarded attitude and wanted to get closer to her.

A gentleman from a family that has been in the livestock business for generations, graduated from the Italian Culinary School ICIF, chef at a franchise store under Dae-woong Enterprises, a romantic man who loves only one woman with fiery passion and courage. He has waited for this woman for a long time. Initially, he didn't like Eun-jai when he first met her in middle school, but his feelings towards her slowly changed. During his adolescence, to strengthen his weak body, he started exercising regularly and later became Eun-jai's driver. Originally, he wanted to open a restaurant with Eun-jai and live happily ever after, but a strong rival suddenly appeared. Thinking their relationship was just a one-night stand and would soon be forgotten, he still felt that Eun-jai seemed to have fallen in love with him.

Fortunately, with the help of Chairman Han, who cared for her like a biological father, she received a scholarship and graduated with excellent grades from a top university. Behind her appearance as a young lady lies the rebellious psychology of an orphan and the ambition to elevate her social status.
Growing up with Yi-jun like a good friend and dear sibling, she dreamed of marrying him. However, Yi-jun regarded her as a cute little sister. The appearance of Cheon Eun-jai made things difficult for her, and Eun-jai was always accompanied by the handsome Jung Hyun-seong. At first, she thought Hyun-seong was foolish for following Eun-jai around, but at some point, her heart started racing whenever she met that man.
