(Not to be confused with My Sassy Girl) A timid college lecturer, Dae-woo, who is smart but has never been in love, meets a mysterious but charming lady, Mi-na. With no skills to win a date, he asks her out awkwardly. To his own surprise, she gives him a date. And as a first time lover, he behaves very unnaturally. But she little by little gets to know his pure and truthful feelings toward her, and they start a passionate relationship. However, as they fall in love, Dae-woo discovers some weird things about Mi-na. She said that she likes reading in her free time and majored in the fine arts, yet she doesn’t even know Crime and Punishment of Fyodor Dostoyevsky, nor Mondrian, one of whose pictures she has in her living room. Also, Mi-na’s roommate, Jang-mi makes Dae-woo feel uneasy, even worse, Mi-na’s bossy ex-boyfriend appears and tries to get her back. Dae-woo also finds out that her real name is not Mi-na but Mi-ja. Mi-na’s real identity makes him more confused.
