Story: Lee Ae Ri (Han Eun Jung) and Han Min Guk (Lee Sung Jae) are a pair of married couple who are divorcing after a really bad fight. Byun Hyuk (Ryu Soo Young), an experience divorce lawyer was hired by Ae Ri, a famous movie star to represent her in her 100 million dollars divorce suit after Han Min Guk who didn’t read the condition that stated that Ae Ri was to take how much she wanted upon their divorce. Min Guk hired Ae Ri’s old classmate and friend ‘Woo Yi Kyung’ (Lee Soo Kyung), a newcomer lawyer who just started work for six months to represent him in the case. While fighting for their respective clients in court, both Yi Kyung and Byun Hyuk who had once co-habited together six years ago before Byun Hyuk abandoned her to go to America, find themselves in a troublesome situation as their work takes toil on their own personal lives. Yi Kyung who wanted revenge for her abandonment, worked extra hard against Byun Hyuk despite her clumsiness and inexperience. Byun Hyuk who was sure that he would win the case since his opponent was his ex-lover ‘Yi Kyung’ decided to give her a little hardship when he felt even more attracted to her but he didn’t strike out at her easily in court due his feelings and guilt towards her.
Things became more complicated for them when Ai Ri and Byun Hyuk started to fall for each other despite their attachment to their old loves.
Woo Yi Kyung (played by Lee Soo Kyung)
-29 years old
-Rookie lawyer
Being a lawyer for six months, all together she has only done 3 cases. She’s a passionate lawyer, but putting her knowledge aside, how her heart feels comes first whenever she encounters something unacceptable happening. Working at a big law firm as an accountant, she fell in love with a rookie male lawyer and cohabited with him. But one day, he just left her without any notice while she waited unknowingly for him, flipping and reading his books in anger, she became interested in law. With the law books (code of law) he left behind, she studied very hard and passed the bar exam. Getting through all her training, she became a small scale lawyer working for a one head official. Being a female lawyer, most of the cases she receives are divorce cases. On a summer evening, when everyone is shouting “Dae Han Min Guk” for the olympics, a guy named “Han Min Guk” comes knocking on the door with a big bang.

Han Min Guk (played by Lee Sung Jae)
-Mid 30’s
-Representative of a Property Finance group, a master in investment
He’s incompatible with the law, but really close with money. He’s like a wild beast with a cold heart. He got married to a famous celebrity six years ago and received a lot of spotlight during that time. During his six years of marriage, he made a lot of money. He invested in anything that made him make a lot of money, but he didn’t invest anything for his wife. He got into a couple of scandals that hit the newspapers. His wife demanded a divorce by agreement and so the two simply signed/stamped their divorce papers. The process was too easy to believe. He receives a letter in the mail stating that he owes her 100 million dollars for the divorce. Was his marriage life a dangerous investment? …No matter how much he thinks, he doesn’t understand it.

Lee Ae Ri (Han Eun Jung)
-29 years old
-A famous actress that left the entertainment industry because of marriage
Han Min Guk’s wife. Woo Yi Kyung is her middle and high school classmate/friend. She’s a fashion icon and a trend setter. Whatever she touches, it becomes a fad. Six years ago, because of one man, she gave up her career without any regret. She thought that marriage was the most realistic investment. However, she felt lonely during her six years of marriage life. Signing the divorce papers by agreement, she demands half the assets, which is 100 million. Realistically, she was only thinking 50 million, but the law firm lawyer suggested 100 million. Meeting a good lawyer, this can be a successful divorce for her. Would she be able to start a new life with her compensation money?

Byun Hyuk (Ryu Soo Young)
-34 years old
-He’s a lawyer in charge of divorce cases from America. He got scouted to a big law firm in Korea.
He is the guy that lawyer Woo Yi Kyung cohabited with and left her six years ago. He has a fun personality. With his natural talent, he can seduce women well, get goody with the judge and even dazzle his clients. Although he has a history of abandoning his girlfriend six years ago, he is still a passionate lawyer that has so many charms that it’s hard to bring back his past. Dating is dating and work is work. Knowing that Han Min Guk’s lawyer is Woo Yi Kyung, he already thinks that he has won this game/case. However, as Lee Ae Ri starts relying on Byuk Hyuk, they fall into temptation, which violates the rules of the relationship between lawyer-client.
