After graduating from nursing school, she was employed by Korea’s best general hospital and not long after that she became a nurse for that hospital’s VIP wing. However, Do Hyuk started to be a different person after he entered a law firm. Finally she finds out that Do Hyuk has another woman.

Yoo Myung Joon is the patient of the hospital VIP room where Jung Yun is assigned who suffered terminal stage of cancer.
Yoo In Hye (Kim Hee Ae) - 40 years old
The eldest daughter of Yoo Pil Sang family. Yoo Pil Sang seems like an avarage rich family, but his real wealth is in the same size with Samsung and Hyundai. Yoo In Hye has 2 older brothers, a younger brother (her biological brother) and a younger sister, which 5 of them came from several different mothers. She grew up with her biological younger brother (Yoo Myung Joon) and her mother who was abandoned by her father.
In order to escape from the negative image of “the abandoned daughter of a chaebol”, Yoo In Hye left Korea to USA . During this period of time when she was away, her mother started suffering some mental disorder. Thus, the job of looking after her fell in the hands of Myung Joon.
She attended university and got MBA from USA, then gained experience as securities broker in Wall Street. Now she is the president of her own multi-billion dollar hedge fund. Her grandfather’s loan business plus her father’s real estate business plus her hedge fund company can sway Korea’s economy. She’s a powerful woman with no romantic experience and never been married. She hates but also admires her father, makes her a strange monster.
Yoo Myung Joon (Noh Min Woo) - 31 years old
The younger brother of Yoo In Hye. Unlike his sister, he has a more softer and more delicate character. He believes that money is the reason to the misfortune that he has suffered. Therefore, he finds that money is evil and despicable. Due to the prejudice towards money and his own birth, Myung Joon seems cynical and waste his time by partying from dusk til dawn.
He was like this until Jung Yun appeared in his life. Myung Joon found himself down with terminal stage cancer and the nurse who was in-charge of him was Jung Yun. As time goes by, there was some chemistry and love blossoming between the two.
