So, the story begins with a girl riding her bicycle to take a local civil servant written exam. She gets stopped by a guy in the lobby telling her that getting a civil service job can't be done with just grit or perseverance. The girl asks him who he is and he says he's like a miracle worker that makes the impossible possible. The girl tells him she doesn't believe in luck or miracles. He tells her that the world might deceive her but a miraculous business card could change her life and he hands her his card. She looks at the card and turns it around. It says "We never know the worth of water till the well is dry".
In the next scene, an ajumma is praying for Mi-jin to pass her civil service exam since she's taken it 8 times already and she's failed it each time. "There's no misfortune as disastrous as this" she says. As she finishes her sentence a cat screeches and breaks a bowl that was on the table. The ajumma yells at the cat and we see the cat jump across a bright silhouette of the moon.
Next scene, the girl, Mi-jin is sitting on a bench with another girl and a man in between them. A woman walks out and calls out "Jeong Min-su". The man gets up and says "yes" and walks away. The woman says "And Lee Mi-Jin" and both girls say "Yes!".
They are both sitting in the room and one of the female committee members says "Lee Mi-jin?" and the one girl says very enthusiastically, "Yes!". Our Mi-jin says "Please go ahead". The woman says "I see you're both named Lee Mi-Jin. Lee Mi-jin one is in her 20s. Lee Mi-jin two, in her thirties. Let's do it this way." Mi-jin raises her hand and says "I'm also in my 20s though". Lee Mi-jin one looks at her and laughs. The female committee member mumbles under her breath, "If you're 28, you're in your 30s".
Next scene, Mi-Jin is walking with her bike when she gets a text. She has not been selected for the job. She starts to cry and says she wonders what she'll tell her omma this time. She reaches home and upon entering, her parents are in the living room. Her omma has a angry scowl on her face. Mi-jin weakly announces she's home. Her omma yells at her "Why didn't you tell me?" Her appa says "Alright, dear. That's enough. This calls for a celebration". Mi-jin's omma says she called the environmental department and found out she got the job and says "You should've told us that you got the job!" Mi-jin is confused and realizes the mistake due to the other girl having the same name. Her omma says "I can die in peace now".
In her room, she can hear her mother calling someone to tell them she got a job after 7 years. Mi-jin takes out the card the guy gave her at the exam.
Trying to conceal who she is, she arrives at a café called "Vanessa". She peeks in at the door while Choi jin-hyuk's character is standing there watching her. He sighs and walks over to the doors and opens one, hitting Mi-Jin in the forehead when he does. She falls back into his arms and when she looks up to see him he asks her if she's okay.
Side note: OMG he's still so damn hot!
Mi-jin is now sitting with the miracle guy. She asks him "This isn't a scam is it?". Choi Jin-hyuk's character hears this and takes an interest. Miracle guy says "What do you take me for?". Choi Jin-hyuk's character turns around to check out the guy.
Turns out, there's a large fee Mi-jin needs to pay to get her miracle. After convincing her that he's on the up and up, she agrees to pay it.
Next scene miracle guy is on the phone in the bathroom. "Be ready. I hit the jackpot today. I'll buy you something good. Tell me what you want to eat." Choi Jin-hyuk's character is in the bathroom as well and he hears everything.
We're 9:15 into the show and already a lot has happened. I'm going to leave my little bit here. So far, it's pretty good.
