Soon Shin (IU)
was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, but with the death of her father,
she’s finally forced to confront reality and all of the hardships that come
with it. Coddled as the youngest and least successful sibling of the family,
the silly Soon Shin nevertheless shines as a lively and spirited girl, which
attracts Shin Joon Ho (Jo Jung Suk),

get more than they expected when their partnership turns both of their lives
around for the better. (Source: dramafever)

IU
as Lee Soon Shin
Soon-shin was named after the famous admiral Yi Sun-sin, a name given by her
grandmother so that her mother would have a son. Her name also carries the
connotation of believing in oneself in adversity. This, however, is an atypical
name for a girl.
Apart from that, Soon-shin lives in the shadow
of her better-looking and smarter sisters. She gets poor grades, isn't very
pretty, is short, and isn't particularly good at anything. She’s not clever or
tenacious. She can become overly emotional and is tender-hearted, frequently
falling victim to scams, though her good nature means that she brushes off her
older sister Yoo-shin's barbs with spunk and humor. When the show starts,
Soon-shin is taking a few years off from college, on the pretext of looking for
a job. In reality, she is still deciding what she wants to do with her life.
When she starts acting, her bright personality and natural talent starts
attracting positive attention from audiences and industry veterans.
Once a rising singer-songwriter, Joon-ho quit making music and set
up his own talent agency, the now-thriving Gabi Entertainment, of which he is CEO. As the son of a famous dermatologist in
Seoul, Joon-ho had a privileged childhood, but always felt pressured to become
a doctor, like his father. In high school, he secretly formed a band, but was
later caught by his father and sent to America. There, he majored in commercial
music. He came back to Korea on graduation and released an album, which was a
moderate success. His music career resulted in him severing family ties with
his father. At the time, his girlfriend was actress Choi Yeon-ah. The two had
quickly fallen in love, but when the failure of his second album plunged him
into a deep slump, they soon split up. Joon-ho later recovered, setting up a
management agency. He successfully debuted two hot idol bands in just a few
years and started to emerge as rising star in show business. Joon-ho is suave,
exacting and serious, though he is sometimes awkward. At Yeon-ah's challenge,
he will groom Soon-shin to become a star, though he begins to understand the
real meaning of success through Soon-shin.

Doo Shim as Kim Jung Ae
Lee Mi Sook as Song Mi Ryung
Mother of
Hye-shin and Yoo-shin and Soon-shin. She has lived her life as a dedicated
wife, mother, and daughter-in-law. Jung-ae doesn't have much, but she has
raised her three daughters as best as she can. Her eldest daughter is smart,
demure and pretty, and she married a successful fund manager. She now lives in
Hong Kong. The assertive second daughter is a marketing executive for an
outdoor sportswear brand. Her youngest, Soon-shin, always gets into trouble.
She has no goal in life and no talent. Compared to her sisters, Soon-shin lacks
both the looks and the brains. Jung-ae swears that she spared nothing in
raising Soon-shin, but what went wrong? However, she is aware that Soon-shin
takes after her.
Lee Mi Sook as Song Mi Ryung
A famous actress, and the first client of Gabi
Entertainment. Mi-ryung was once Korea’s top actress. Although much older and
not as hot as before, she can still command quite a presence as a diva. She
made her TV debut in her late twenties, after playing bit parts on stage for a long time.
Her debut piece shot her straight up to the top, where she has stayed all this
time. Mi-ryung has had several love affairs, but has never married. Her private
life is a closely guarded secet, as she believes that an actress must remain
mysterious. All her audience knows of her personal history is that her parents
were teachers. Mi-ryung discovers Soon-shin's potential and takes her under her
wing. She later finds out that she has a secret connection to Soon-shin's
mother.
