==Plot==
Gong Joon-soo is a man who's had a rough life and early on had to fend for himself. He takes the blame for a murder his younger sibling commits and serves time in prison. There he learns to sew and acquires a trade. With his newly acquired skills, Joon-soo goes to work for Na Do-hee at a fashion company. Do-hee has inherited her job because her grandfather built the company. But even though she inherited her position, she is serious about doing a good job and is something of a workaholic.<ref>{{cite web|title=''Ugly Alert'' Is An Upcoming Drama That Redefines Family|url=http://www.kdramastars.com/articles/9225/20130423/ugly-alert-new-drama.htm|work=KDramaStars|access-date=2013-05-04|date=23 April 2013|archive-date=2013-04-27|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130427103734/http://www.kdramastars.com/articles/9225/20130423/ugly-alert-new-drama.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>{{Unreliable source?|reason=See reliable sources list on [WP:KO/RS](/source/WP%3AKO%2FRS)|date=July 2025}}
