Kang Min-young, a young and ambitious career woman, is back in the dating game after divorcing her rich and successful ex-husband, Cha Jung-woo. Despite initially being heartbroken over her failed marriage, Min-young realizes that she wants to achieve her own success and starts her own business. Along the way, she runs into Jung-woo, who now realizes how much he misses her.
In episode 5, Min-young is shocked to see Jung-woo at her company’s launch party. She had thought that she was over him, but seeing him up close rekindles old feelings. Jung-woo, on the other hand, is there to win her back after realizing that he has made a mistake. They have a brief conversation, and Jung-woo admits that he has been looking for a way to contact her. Min-young, however, keeps her guard up and is hesitant to trust him.
Meanwhile, Gong Soo-chan, a former colleague of Min-young’s, is secretly in love with her. He had previously been too afraid to express his feelings for her, but seeing her with Jung-woo makes him realize that he should be more proactive. He tries to get her attention throughout the party, but she is only focused on Jung-woo.
After the party, Jung-woo sends Min-young a message thanking her for inviting him and wishing her good luck with her business. The next day, he shows up at her office with a present for her. It’s a necklace that he had made himself, and he tells her that he hopes it will remind her of him. Min-young is touched by the gesture but still guarded. She tells him that she doesn’t want to get back together with him, but he should still come visit her as a friend.
Later in the episode, Min-young faces a difficult decision when she is offered a big business opportunity. If she takes it, however, she will have to move abroad for a year. She confides in her mother and sister about the dilemma, and they advise her to think about what she really wants. Min-young also receives some unexpected advice from an unlikely source: her ex-husband’s new girlfriend. She tells Min-young that she should follow her heart and do what she thinks is best for her.
As the episode comes to a close, Min-young is still working on her decision. Jung-woo stops by again to give her some flowers and they have a friendly chat. Soo-chan, who has been watching them from afar, decides to finally take the plunge and confesses his feelings to Min-young. She is shocked but also touched by his honesty. However, she tells him that she doesn’t have an answer for him yet.
