Eun Jae (Han Chae Young) is a very stubborn, prideful, and head-strong girl who has a passion for cooking. Because she does not have an interest in studying, she runs away to Italy before she graduates from high school to enroll in cooking school. Her high school friend, who loves her dearly and shares her passion for cooking, comes along with her.

Han Yi-Joon (Jo Hyun Jae) is from a wealthy family who owns a large hotel and various restaurants. He travels to Italy to attend his estranged mother's wedding and there he runs into Eun Jae, who had also been seeking the mother, who happens to be a chef, to learn the secrets to making great pasta. She comforts Yi-Joon, who is distraught over his mother remarrying, and they make love. She ends up pregnant and has to give up her dream - but does not tell Yi-Joon.

6 years later, they have all returned to live in Korea - Eun Jae working low paying cooking jobs, Yi-Joon taking over the operations of his family's restaurant, and Eun Jae's friend working as a chef for one of the restarurants owned by Yi-Joon and supporting Eun Jae's family, including the child born out of wedlock, financially because they have fallen on hard times. Yi-Joon still has feelings for EunJae and they run into each other just as he is looking for a new chef for his restaurant - with her in mind.
