** Jang Mi also comes off as short-tempered, sarcastic, and somewhat cold upon first impressions, but she initially asked Guk-hwa out because she genuinely thinks that she doesn't deserve a scumbag cheater like Hwan-hee and that she would be a way better partner. She holds up to her word when she and Guk-hwa start dating, proving to be just as affectionate and considerate. She's also very loyal to her best friend, Esther, having been there to support her [[spoiler: throughout her rough family situations since high school]] and becoming her business partner in Esther's company.

** Guk-hwa comes off as violent, short-tempered, and rude, but she usually only behaves that way when she sees injustices happen (i.e. sexual harassment, cheating exes who don't take responsibility for their actions, etc.) or when someone's being unnecessarily mean. She also proves to be a very affectionate and considerate girlfriend when she starts dating Jang Mi, which implies that she was most likely like that with her ex-boyfriend.

When did she meet her ideal girl in the worst situation?

After catching her boyfriend with another woman, Han Guk-hwa promptly breaks up with him and expects to never see him again. What she didn't expect was to keep thinking about the woman who was with her ex and develop a begrudging crush on her.

Jang Mi, the crush in question, also didn't expect to see such a beautiful girl approach her and finds herself thinking that she could do so much better than the scumbag Guk-hwa was dating.

After accidentally meeting again, the two find themselves falling for each other as they explore a new relationship together, while also dealing with issues from their pasts and former relationships...and each other's fiery tempers.

** Jang Mi [[spoiler: came from a rather dysfunctional home where her father was rarely around and a spendthrift.
