Plot

Nam Sang-hyo is the head of the wedding planning division of The Secret Hotel, one of Korea's most elite and luxurious hotels and considered among the top 1 wedding destinations in the country. Optimistic, cheerful and a perfectionist, she works hard and dreams of becoming the hotel's general manager someday. Sang-hyo faces the biggest challenge of her job when her next client turns out to be architect Gu Hae-young, her ex-husband. Seven years ago, Sang-hyo and Hae-young fell madly in love and got hitched in Las Vegas, but because of Hae-young's easy-come-easy-go attitude towards relationships, they fought and broke up. Since the marriage lasted only 100 days, they never filed the paperwork to legally register it, so their short-lived marriage remains a secret.

Meanwhile, Sang-hyo has caught the eye of her boss Jo Sung-gyeom, a strict but thoughtful hotel managing director who has all the female employees swooning.[3] But there's also ambitious public relations manager Yeo Eun-joo, who competes with Sang-hyo for both a promotion and Sung-gyeom's heart.

To make matters even more complicated, a murder turns the hotel topsy-turvy. Sung-gyeom may be connected to the case, while Eun-joo attempts to use the circumstances surrounding the murder to get a leg up on the corporate ladder. As Sang-hyo and Hae-young juggle their sudden reunion under awkward circumstances, the exes also get sucked into the murder investigation.[4]
