Plot
Eighteen-year-old aspiring figure skater Lee Ha-ru moves to Seoul to pursue her ice dreams. In the city she reunites with her stepbrother Shin Hwal, whom she hasn't seen in years. Her divorcee mother had remarried Hwal's father when Ha-ru was 6, but their parents died in a car accident when she was 13. Ha-ru was sent to live with her grandfather in the countryside and had since lost touch with Hwal.
Hwal, now in his mid-thirties, works at an advertising agency with his two best friends and roommates, Kang Hyun-tae and Jo Hae-yoon. When Ha-ru suddenly shows up at the doorstep of their bachelor pad, she ends up moving in with the three men.
Ha-ru's new figure skating coach, Choi Soo-in turns out to be Hwal's estranged wife. Her plans to make amends with her ex-husband are derailed when his outgoing friend Hyun-tae falls for her instantly and begins pursuing her.
Hae-yoon and bartender Kang Sang-hee are longtime friends. When a one-night stand leads to something more, the more old-fashioned Hae-yoon has difficulty dealing with Sang-hee's commitment issues.
Meanwhile, Ha-ru feels torn between Ji Poong-ho, a short track speed skating national athlete her own age, and her growing romantic feelings for her much older stepbrother Hwal.[4]
