==Plot== Seo Young-ji is ashamed of her poor upbringing and works hard to better herself. She goes to see a plastic surgeon, hoping that by changing her appearance she will feel better about herself. The surgeon, Jung Ah-mi, asks her for a favor: Ah-mi's parents have set her up on a blind date with Kim Joon-woo, but she isn't interested and wants Young-ji to go in her place. Young-ji agrees, and she and Joon-woo hit it off. However, when Joon-woo discovers that Young-ji isn't Ah-mi, and in fact has a poor family to look after, he dumps her.
Before dating Joon-woo, Young-ji was also recently dumped by Choi Do-kyung, a poor, but ambitious social climber. Do-kyung will do anything to marry a rich woman, and he falls for Ah-mi. But although Ah-mi also wants to get married soon, she has her own secrets to hide.<ref>{{cite web|title=A Man and a Woman|url=http://content.mbc.co.kr/english/drama/05/1670630_56059.html|work=MBC Global Media|accessdate=2013-08-14|archive-date=2014-07-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140714150520/http://content.mbc.co.kr/english/drama/05/1670630_56059.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
