8After getting in trouble at their seminary, young priests-to-be Kim Kyushik (Kwon Sang-Woo) and his best friend Seon-dal are sent away to rural South Korea for a month to serve Father Nam and his church as punishment. There he meets Bong-Hee, a flighty Korean-American girl who followed her boyfriend to Korea, and happens to be father Nam's niece. However, after Bong-Hee's boyfriend dumps her, she finds herself stranded with nowhere to go. Despite clashing because of Kyushik's somewhat wooden personality and Bong-hee's selfishness along with [[HilarityEnsues many misadventures]] , they slowly become attracted to each other. As a result, Kyushik is forced to question the life of celibacy that lies ahead for him.
9----
10!!Examples of:
11
12* BoyMeetsGirl: Kyushik finds the drunken Bong-hee sleeping in the church, and tries to shoo her out. Needless to say, [[HilarityEnsues it doesn't]] [[NotWhatItLooksLike end well.]]
13* CantHoldHisLiquor: When Bong-hee first meets Kyushik, she mistakenly takes a swig from a bottle of liquor, believing it to be water. She passes out in her uncle's church. Later, after just a sip at the club, she gets drunk enough to pick a fight with a bunch of hoodlums.
14* CelibateHero: Deconstructed, as Kyushik is a seminarian. He CAN'T get into relationships. So naturally, he's pretty uncomfortable around girls.
15* CharacterDevelopment: Bong-hee grows out of her selfish and childish ways, learning to become more empathetic towards others.
16* {{Fanservice}}: Bong-hee, much to Kyushik's chagrin. Seon-dal and a painter working on the church ogle over her when she sunbathes in the garden, and Kyushik attempts get her to cover up by throwing a bed sheet onto her.
17* {{Foreshadowing}}: One of Kyushik's seniors [[spoiler: has gotten engaged.]]
18* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: An important part of Bong-Hee's characterization. She is childish, selfish and enjoys pushing Kyushik's buttons. However she shows that she can be rather considerate when [[spoiler: she repairs the rosary that she broke with some pearls from one of her necklaces.]]
19* NiceGuy: Kyushik, very much so.
20* NotWhatItLooksLike: The drunken Bong-hee passing out on Kyushik, which happens to look like they're on the ground making out. Sister Kim walks in on them in the act.
21* PrecisionFStrike}: One of the kids under the daycare service hears Bong-hee swear, and imitates her in front of Kyushik.
22--> "Don't use such a word. ''he'' doesn't like it.
23--> "The guy up there?" points middle finger, but Kyushik grabs it.
24--> "He doesn't like that either."
25--> "I don't need a lecture from a man wearing a skirt. Pretty Bong-hee likes those words. Shit, fuck, shit, fuck!"
26* {{Tsundere}}: Bong-hee. As Kyushik takes her home the morning after the disastrous clubbing night, they encounter some kids playing "Freeze and Melt." (something like tag.) As they look on, Bong-Hee wistfully tells Kyushik that it reminds her of unrequited love. They look at each other for a moment... but then she [[MomentKiller smacks him on the head and runs off.]]
27* VowOfCelibacy: A priest cannot fall in love or marry.
