Storyline:
The most unexpected entanglement with Mr. HONG begins!! HONG Doo-shik, there is something special about him!! He’s a good-looking 31 year-old man who knows everything and knows how to do everything. He’s a delivery man for a Chinese restaurant. He’s a clerk at a convenient store. And he’s even a singer at a live café! YOON Hae-jin is a righteous perfectionist and also a dentist. She gets fired when her ‘supposed-to-be-threatening’ resignation is accepted by the board! She moves to a small rural town to open up her own clinic. Mr. Handy~ HONG Doo-shik!!! VS. The ultimate troublemaker~ YOON Hae-jin!!! “I have never met a person who causes more trouble than her! She’s the most clueless woman I’ve ever met in my entire life!!” “Whatever I do, Mr. Handy always pops up and gets in my way!! So what does he exactly do? Nothing to everything to anything!” But, something about each other draws them closer. First of all, Mr. Handy is a good fighter. He can fight like one of those Matrix characters.. Second, he has a warm heart. It seems like he lives in a world that is different from hers… And she can’t help but keep thinking about him… Hye-jin is so damn loud! But sometimes… in a strange way, she sounds like a bird chirping… sounds like rhythmic beats… He can’t help but keep thinking about her…—CJ Entertainment
