Ji-woong is a young man who is struggling to find a job and make ends meet. He is constantly in debt and is always looking for ways to save money. Hong-sil is a young woman who is also a penny-pincher, but for different reasons. She is saving every penny she can to buy her own house.

When Ji-woong moves into an apartment next door to Hong-sil, he quickly learns that she is even more of a penny-pincher than he is. The two strike up a friendship and begin to bond over their shared love of saving money. Ji-woong is immediately smitten with Hong-sil and begins to think of ways to win her heart.

As Hong-sil’s landlord, Ji-woong soon discovers that she is behind on her rent and is facing eviction. Knowing that she is saving every penny to buy a house, Ji-woong offers to help her out by becoming her roommate and splitting the rent.

As the two live together, they begin to grow closer and closer. Ji-woong finds himself falling more in love with Hong-sil every day, but he is hesitant to tell her how he feels. Meanwhile, Hong-sil begins to notice that Ji-woong might be more than just a friend.

As their financial situation becomes more dire, Ji-woong and Hong-sil hatch a plan to make some quick cash. They decide to start a matchmaking service for wealthy people looking for love. Their plan works, but it also brings them into contact with some shady characters who are willing to do whatever it takes to make a quick buck.

As their matchmaking business takes off, Ji-woong and Hong-sil begin to realize that they might be meant for each other after all. But with their financial situation still uncertain and their matchmaking business putting them in danger, will they be able to find happiness together?
