Synopsis

Cha Ki-young is a popular news anchorwoman. She is smart, capable, glamorous, nationally beloved, and ranked at the top of female college students' "women I want to emulate" lists. Ambitious and confrontational, she doesn't take well to being out-shined, particularly when it comes to her workplace rival, the station's other elite news anchor, Jo Eun-cha.^[4][5][6]

Cool-headed and rational, Jo Eun-cha is a talented and driven anchorman who commands as well as demands respect. After failing to get elected as an assemblyman, he aims to return to his job as the top news anchor to increase his chances of being elected the next year.

Park Tae-yeon is the only son of a leading chaebol group that owns a news corporation. He studied abroad, but goes against his father's hopes of continuing the family business when he dropped out of business school to go to a culinary school. After graduation, he becomes a reporter who covers the food and lifestyle beat.^[7]

Ki-young is dating Tae-yeon, and neither are interested in the idea of marriage. But when Ki-young accidentally becomes pregnant and Tae-yeon refuses to take responsibility, she decides to have the child out of wedlock and raise it on her own as a single mother. This crucial choice takes her from that coveted spot at the top, and she goes from headlining the 9 o'clock news on her own to being the subject of scorn and scandal.^[8] Ki-young is replaced by Kang Ha-ni as the co-anchor. Unexpectedly, Eun-cha decides to become a surrogate father to Ki-young's child.
