For over a decade, she lives with her husband and is determined to make it work, but things begin to change quickly when she faces the biggest night of her life. Shortly after arriving in Manila for the first time as a Goodwill Ambassador, Wan-soo is caught in a terrorist attack, but narrowly escapes death thanks to Seo Do-yoon, who eventually becomes her bodyguard.
