Unlike typical romance formulas, this drama gained attention by revealing a romantic kiss scene between the male and female leads from the first episode.

Disguised Employment Rom-Com and 'Disaster Genre' Preparedness

The drama is set against the backdrop of a baby product company and deals with office romance. Go Da-rim, who is facing a job crisis, disguises herself as a married woman out of urgency, and the story begins when she discovers that the man she kissed by chance is her team leader.

Director Kim Jae-hyun introduced the drama as a "rom-com close to a disaster genre", stating that he aims to captivate viewers by mixing exciting romance with comedy and heartfelt emotions.

Jang Ki-yong is set to showcase his romantic prowess in an SBS drama after 'Now, We Are Breaking Up', while Ahn Eun-jin is taking on her first romantic comedy with this project. Ahn Eun-jin expressed confidence, saying, "You will feel that a really fun and exciting drama has come out when you watch the first episode". The drama airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 9 PM.
