Plot
[edit]Park Jung-geum is far from what is conventionally considered "beautiful." She is a tough, uncompromising detective who investigates and arrests violent criminals. At the same time, she is a 38-year-old divorcee and single mother who is raising her son.[1][2] Jung-geum becomes caught between two men—Yong-joon, an unmarried doctor who was her friend from elementary school, and Gyung-soo, a lawyer who is the fiancé of Jung-geum's glamorous stepsister Yoo-ra.
