Ji plays Seo Jeong-hoo, a private detective who gets a mysterious mission from his client to follow up Chae Young-sin, an online news reporter of a low-profile news agency, and report everything she does. Seo applies for Chae’s company in disguise, to accomplish the mission. But never did he think that this charming news reporter would make his heart race for the first time.

The Korean heartthrob picked good health and happiness as his News Year’s resolutions, making the crowd burst into laughter.
