Min-kyung,is a fresh high school graduate. She has worked in a liquor restaurant to pay off her father's gambling debt. However,Min-kyung borrowed some money and ran away,hoping to find a rich man as her spouse. Meanwhile,Young Ho is the son of a poor rice cake house owner,and works to pay off his dead father's debt. He falls in love with Min-kyung,because she looks exactly like his dead girlfriend. When Min Kyung finds out that Young Ho is not rich,she dumps him,and goes back to a rich man (Son Chang Min) who proposed to Min Kyung once before. However,Min Kyung wakes up to true love and realizes that happiness does not necessarily come in money.
Young-ho's father Moon Dae-cha (Lee Soon-jae) observed his diligence and decided to give Young-ho a chance to prove his worth in comparison with Dong-kyu (There is no scene that Young-ho realized that Moon Dae-cha is his illegitimate biological father,and the poor rice cake house owner is not his birth father,but a stepfather). Young-ho's father announced that there would be a fair competition from the two men to prove their worth and decide the heir to the company.
That same night,Young-ho's father met Min-kyung's father. Dong-kyu's father,who was drunk,knocked down the duo as they were talking to each other and crossing the road. Dong-kyu was seen rushing and persuaded his father to escape while he called for an ambulance.
Dong-kyu used this opportunity to gain advantage over Young-ho in the competition to become the heir,with his father's help. Young-ho,on the other hand,was having a hard time struggling to compete against Dong-kyu and his acts of sabotage.
Young-ho was shocked when he saw his father at the meeting. Young-ho was declared to be the heir of the company and both Dong-kyu and his father announced their resignations.
Young-ho instead wished to fulfill his long-time dream of becoming an astronomer and announced his intention of resigning as boss in order to become a full-time astronomer,after working for a few months. With the consent of his father,Young-ho took up astronomy at a space observation centre in Australia. He later married Min-kyung,and was seen swearing their wedding vows in front of a Christian priest.
