Goo Eun Jae (played by actress Jang Seo-hee) graduated as a make-up artist major at a university and began preparations to study in France. Her dreams to study abroad are halted by pregnancy after Jung Gyo Bin (played by actor Byun Woo-min) took advantage of her when she was drunk. She decided to marry him and give up her dreams in order to be a responsible mother for her unborn child. Eun Jae's pregnancy soon ended in tragic miscarriage. Eun Jae was trying to protect her mother in law, Baek Mi In, when she was pushed down the steps by a creditor of the said in-law. Eun Jae fell and lost her baby. It took a long time until Eun Jae became pregnant again. Around the same time when Eun Jae found out about her second pregnancy, Shin Ae Ri (played by actress Kim Seo-hyung) returned from her five-year long from France (where she studied make-up).
