Plot

Kim Joo-Won (Hyun-Bin) is from a wealthy family, smart and good looking. He runs the luxurious Roel Department store, which his family owns. Oscar (Yoon Sang-Hyun) is a popular singer around Asia, but he doesn't have musical talent. He is also a womanizer. Joo-Wan and Oscar are also cousins and highly competitive towards each other.

On a request by Oscar, Joo-Won goes to pick up actress Park Chae-Rin from a shooting set. Joo-Wan mistakes stunt woman Kil Ha-Lim (Ha Ji-Won) for Park Chae-Rim and takes stunt woman Ha-Lim to a hotel. Oscar made the request in an attempt to prevent Park Chae-Rin from revealing their relationship to the press. At the hotel, Joo-Wan discovers that the woman he picked is not actress Park Chae-Rim but a stunt woman. During this time, Joo-Wan starts to experiece strong feelings for the fiesty stunt woman, even though she isn't his type. Joo-Wan seeks out beautiful woman who comes from wealthy backgrounds so eventually she can support him. Nevertheless, Joo-Wan can't stop thinking about Ha-Kim.

Later, Joo-Wan sneaks into an action school to watch Ha-Kim. Meanwhile, Ha-Lim tries her best to ignore Joo-Wan, because she knows Joo-Wan is on another social level from her. Nevertheless, Ha-Lim can't help to feelings for Joo-Wan.

Yeun-Sul (Kim Sa-Rang) and Oscar are ex-lovers, but they can't forget each other. Then one day, Yeun-Sul meets Joo-Wan on a blind date. Even though Jo-Wan is clear that he doesn't have interest in her, Yeun-Sul pursues Joo-Wan. Yeun-Sul knows Joo-Wan is Oscar's cousins and wants to use Joo-Wan to get under Oscar's skin. Yeun-Sul then manages to become the director for Oscar's next music video. The video shoot takes place on Jeju Island.

Meanwhile, stunt woman Ha-Lim is a fan of Oscar's music and wins a contest to go to Jeju Island with Oscar himself. Ha-Lim also wants to take part in Oscar's music video. Joo-Won learns that Ha-Lim won the contest to spend time a romantic trip with Oscar and decides to follow them to Jeju Island.

On Jeju Island, the main participants all gather. While riding bicycles in the mountains, Ha-Lim somehow gets separated from Joo-Wan and Oscar. Joo-Wan frantic over Ha-Lim's disappearance goes back to look for her. Joo-Wan is able to eventually find Ha-Lim and they then come across a mysterious restaurant in the woods named "Secret Garden". Even more strange, the owner of "Secret Garden" seems to know Joo-Wan and Ha-Lim. The owner gives bottles of alcohol to Joo-Wan and Ha-Lim. That night, Joo-Wan and Ha-Lim drink the bottles of alcohol separately. The next morning, Joo-Wan and Ha-Lim discover that their souls have been exchanged!
