These wealthy students seem to have everything under control, except their love lives. Kim Tan (Lee Min-ho) is a handsome and wealthy heir to a large Korean conglomerate who is studying in the U.S. Meanwhile, his brother Kim Won (Choi Jin-hyuk) tries to take control of the family business. While in the States, Kim Tan meets Cha Eun-sang (Park Shin-hye) and falls in love with her, but he is engaged to Rachel Yoo (Kim Ji-won). Rachel's future stepbrother and Kim Tan's former best friend, Choi Young-do (Kim Woo-bin) (who also attends the same school as Kim Tan and Eun-sang) starts falling for Eun-sang as well.
