Expected Storyline

According to Netflix, the drama will feature Gwan Sik, whose name means unyielding iron, and Ae Soon, a magnificent rebel.

Every time Ae Soon rebels, she becomes anxious, although she is rebellious all the time. She may have a poor upbringing, but she has an optimistic outlook on life. Despite her inability to attend school, she has a strong desire to become a poet. She is an outspoken character who does not conceal her feelings.

Despite his reserved personality, Gwan Shik is a very hard worker. Even though he’s not very good at romance and has no idea what to do when Ae Soon smiles or tears, he’s a quiet warrior who has loved Ae Soon unconditionally from the beginning and gives her his everything.
