This 2008 drama explores the tangled and less than perfect lives of the illustrious Ha family. Centered on the filial granddaughter of the household Ha Dan Ah (Yoon Jung Hee) who is very dignified and beautiful yet also pitiful. Dan Ah was married in her 20's, but due to an unforeseen event her husband died in a car accident during their honeymoon. She will be pursued by two men, a man from a rich family, Lee Kang Suk (Park Shi Hoo) and a man who's younger than her, Jung Hyun Kyu (Lee Hyun Jin). The drama will be about the Ha Family and how they try to hold up to the reputation of their family name.







The drama started with Dan Ah participating in a seminar in Jeju island. Meanwhile, there’s something happening at a motel in the outskirts of Seoul. Dan Ah's second brother Tae Young is caught cheating with another woman by his wife at the motel and as he leaves the place he sees his sister-in-law come out of the same motel with another man.



After that incident, his elder brother Soo Young begins seeing Jin Ah, and he meets Mal Soon. President Ha Seok Ho (Dan Ah's father) is widowed and he finds out that his girlfriend, Lee Young In, is pregnant. Then his grandfather suddenly passes away. Lee Cheong Gab and his son Lee Kang Seok hear about the death of Chairman Ha Man-ki and they think it would be a good idea to attend the funeral as a way to establish themselves in high society and break away from their “nouveau riche” status. So they attend the funeral.



Dan Ah meets Lee Kang Seok once again. During the funeral, Dan Ah has to handle the disturbing news that her father’s girlfriend is pregnant and that her brother’s wife is having an affair while grieving for her great grandfather. After the funeral is over, the wives of her two brothers ask for a divorce and leave them.


Now Dan Ah is the only lady in the household and is in charge of preparing the ancestral rites. Hyun Gyu tries to help Dan Ah during these difficult times. Meanwhile, Lee Kang Seok is a thorn in her side as he keeps showing up and creating problems for her. Then, she has to grapple with the news that her father wants to marry his girlfriend, Young In, because she is pregnant. Every member in her family enters new romantic relationships....
