Architecture, and Interior Design Co.??In reality, his company handles such trivial and menial projects as building neighborhood fences, setting up plastic greenhouses, renovating bathrooms and kitchens, and installing heaters. In his own words, Cheol-su is a ?who will take on any and every kind of work if it means getting paid.
He? excessively thick-skinned and completely hung up on money, but he lives a resourceful life. He might appear to have no pride at all, but when his meal ticket?that is, any lucrative work he? laid claim to?comes under the smallest threat, he retaliates without mercy. At times, he displays such boldness as to appear foolhardy.
He?셲 obstinate, tenacious, and determined. Especially when it comes to money…
He runs all around town, diligently applying himself to anything that might bring in money, but if something rubs him the wrong way, he won?셳 even help to lift a piece of paper off the ground.
 
Anna Cho – Played by Han Ye-seul
A Korean-American, Anna is the only child of real estate mogul Richard Cho.
Her parents died when she was seven, leaving her with a massive inheritance. She was raised by her aged grandmother until the age of twelve. But then, even her grandmother passed away and left her without a soul to rely on.
Now, Anna has her husband Billy?but they have no children.
Anna grew up like a princess amid the sycophantic adoration of all manner of relatives who lusted after her enormous fortune.
She matured in an environment in which everyone welcomed and loved not Anna herself but the trappings of her wealth.
 
Billy Park – Kim Seong-min
Billy is Anna? husband and the CEO of the massive real estate enterprise that she inherited. He has extraordinary acumen for the real estate M&A business.
His main area of expertise is hotels and resorts.
Although he was born into an ordinary family, he easily earned his MBA and law degree at Harvard thanks to his astonishing intellect and has since been riding the fast track to success.
He is a tremendously gifted entrepreneur, and a boss who enjoys the trust of his subordinates. He? sensitive and considerate?a pretty great guy once you get to know him.
 
Oh Yu-gyung – Played by Park Han-byeol
Beguiling men with looks so fragile that she might blow away on a wisp of wind, Yu-gyung is a representative example of the ? in distress??type that women despise.
She appears infinitely pure and innocent, but is in fact a tough cookie who knows how to get what she wants.
She knows that Cheol-su has been in love with her for a long time, but when he gets saddled with his nephews following his brother?셲 death, she turns her back on him as if oblivious to his feelings for her.
Still, after her engagement to a man with the perfect credentials gets broken off, she finds herself belatedly being drawn to the simple-hearted Cheol-su and regrets her past indifference.
