Yeongpo branch at KCU Bank, A bad day for the two, Ahn Soo-Young(Moon Ga-Young) and Ha Sang-soo(Yoo Yeon-Seok), who are not yet a couple, fly together to Jeju Island to solve the accident while delivering another customer's card to a VIP customer. The two easily deal with the crisis and spend a short time together on Jeju Island.

After a business trip to Jeju Island, a little between the two changes. Previously, Sang-soo had a crush on Soo-young, but there was a psychological wall between them called 'office love'. 

However, after seeing that Soo-Young's profile picture has been changed to one he took for her, he eventually gathers up the courage to ask her out on a first date. Unexpectedly she is cool and accepts his offer. 

Sang-Soo's movie date with her was a success. He has an appointment for a second date. Will his love in the office go well like a boat with sails in the wind?

 

On the second date between Sang-Soo and Soo-Young, the god of fate who is jealous of their love finally appears. Because of the accident in the bank, Sang-soo is late for the appointment, but he can't contact her because his cell phone is broken.

Soo-young, who was waiting for him at the meeting place, leaves her seat. He arrives at the meeting place belatedly but he does not find her.

He tries to make an excuse the next day, but she treats him coldly. 

After his second date with her goes off the rails, Sang-Soo hears a rumor that Soo-Young and the bank security guard Jeong Jong-Hyun(Jung Ga-Ram) had lunch together at the park. Besides, he hears her bombshell confession from her, "I'm dating Jong-Hyun".

 A drama rushing into a love triangle. In the finale of Ep 1, Sang-soo became a character who made people cheer. It was fun.
