Lee Heeseung, 27, is South Korea’s most talked-about CEO — devilishly handsome, coldly intelligent, and ruthlessly successful. With a billion-dollar empire under his name and the title of every woman’s dream, his life looks perfect from the outside. But behind the luxury cars and glass towers lies a wrecked marriage. His wife,Yoon Haeri, fed up with Heeseung’s workaholic nature and emotional unavailability, cheats on him — and when confronted, she flips the narrative. Accusing him of mental harassment, neglect, and emotional trauma, she demands an obscene amount in alimony.
The scandal explodes across headlines, threatening Heeseung’s reputation and legacy. Furious and determined to fight back, he looks for the sharpest legal mind in the city — someone who won’t bow to pressure or play nice. That’s when his assistant recommends Kim Sunoo, a 25-year-old firecracker of a lawyer — famously beautiful, fiercely intelligent, and notoriously short-tempered. Sunoo once publicly clashed with a judge and still walked out of court with a win. He never loses a case… and he doesn’t take crap from anyone. Especially not from men like Heeseung.
Their first meeting? Explosive. Sunoo instantly dislikes Heeseung’s arrogant vibe, while Heeseung is amused — and oddly intrigued — by Sunoo’s razor-sharp sass. Still, Sunoo agrees to take the case. Money talks — and so does his obsession with winning.
What follows is a battle of personalities: heated arguments behind closed doors, sarcastic remarks flung like knives, and a constant game of dominance between the cold CEO and the fiery lawyer. But in court? They are an unstoppable force. A power duo. Sunoo’s sharp wit and dramatic flair blend seamlessly with Heeseung’s icy composure and strategic mind.
As they work together, sparks fly — the hate starts to blur. Heeseung begins to fall, slowly but undeniably, for the very man who challenges his pride and peels back his walls. Sunoo, too, finds himself torn — between hating the man Heeseung used to be, and falling for the man he’s becoming.
