Her insignificant existence completely transforms when she finds out she is pregnant and must tie her life to his in a shot-gun wedding. The couple decides to make the best of a bad situation, but just when Gun begins to show his growing affection for Mi Young, his first love re-enters the picture to stake her claim.
