He grew up without knowing a mother's love because his parents were always busy with work. He is cranky and sensitive, and is very mistrustful of those who approach him. Thanks to his mother who is the founder of Genius Cosmetics, he is a major shareholder and CEO, and contributes to the company's growth. However, symptoms of a panic disorder cast dark shadows on his future. To top that off, he is falsely accused for malpractice and embezzlement, and ends up being put on probation for two years. To fulfill his pledge to the judge, he becomes an 'undercover boss' and works at the Genius Beauty Center to experience what it's like to be at the bottom of the social ladder. There, he meets the woman of his fate, Eun-jo. She is a spontaneous, sentimental and stubborn woman. She hated her rich stepmother, Haengja, who came into her life when she was still in high school. She never treated Haengja like a mother even though she used her money like it was hers. But when she experiences her father's sudden death and stepmother's absence, she begins to realize what the love of family is. She starts anew from the bottom, and learns the true meaning of life. Lee Dong-ha as Byun Boo-shik[ 1] He had to live by himself since middle school because his stepfather rejected him and his mother barely looked after him. Five years later, she comes back to his side with a huge debt from his stepfather. That's when Boo-shik swears to the world that no matter what, he would live his life cunningly. He graduated from law school and became a lawyer at a late age. As a deep-dyed utilitarian, he chases benefits rather than duty or cause. He is gifted with the ability to please others, and he always puts on a mask, never revealing his real emotions. She lived a difficult life because of her father who left the family after divorce. Her perseverance and righteousness helped her cope with this unfriendly world. She enters the Genius Beauty Center as an intern, thanks to the skin care certificate that she received during high school. But the head of the Beauty Center, Gu Jonghee, and a nasty customer named Gil Eunjo don't let her live in peace. One day, her hated father comes back with a huge sum of money in his hands. Life suddenly becomes fun for her. [ edit ] Song Ok-sook as Kim Haeng-jaKim Sun-woong as Oh Dae YoungGo Byung-wan as Gil Myung-jo
