Oh Dal-ja is a manager at a home shopping network. She is already 33 years old and still single, waiting for her "prince." Although she has everything - a successful career, supportive friends, a loving family - she still dreams of the perfect romance and marriage. Then she meets flirty guy, Shin Se-do, who seemed very nice to her. After seeing how he flirts with Wee Seon-joo (and later dumped Dal-ja for her), the beautiful host of the Home Shopping TV show, she seeks revenge. Kang Tae-bong, a guy 6 years younger than her and has a mysterious past, pretends to be her boyfiend and signs a dating contract with her. But then again, who is this Eom Ki-jeong that seemed to be the perfect gentleman? He's an enterprise representative who's just so perfect: rich, good-looking, intelligent, and courteous, but recently separated from his wife. Three men, one woman: who will win Oh Dal-ja's charm? Who will end up as her "knight in shining armor?"
This drama targeted many stereotypes in Korean society, including older women dating or marrying younger men or single women over 30 dealing with everyday social pressures as well as working mothers juggling their work and family life.
