놀아주는 여자
Once a convict, Ji-hwan is now a successful, albeit overly cautious CEO, who has yet to experience any of life’s more enjoyable pleasures: namely falling in love. But all that changes when fate brings beloved children’s content creator Eun-ha into his life. The unlikely pair find love most unexpectedly but Eun-ha’s longtime fan, Prosecutor Hyun-woo isn’t ready to let her go without a fight.
Ji-hwan, the former boss of the Bulldog Gang, is now the CEO of Thirsty Deer Corporation, a company that specializes in making all sorts of charcuterie. Eun-ha tries her best to become more famous as a WeTuber called Ms. Mini, who creates online video content for kids. The two seem like they would never belong in the same world, but by chance, they keep running into each other.
Ji-hwan ends up in the hospital because of Eun-ha. She comes to apologise, but she is still afraid of what Ji-hwan and his employees might do to her. Meanwhile, Director Lee and Mr. Ma at Macaron Soft upload a maliciously edited video of Ji-hwan’s employees. This time, Ji-hwan misunderstands the situation and blames Eun-ha.
After being publicly shamed for promoting a milk brand that caused havoc to customers, Eun-ha takes down her channel to repent. Ji-hwan watches from the sidelines and desires to get close to her. Meanwhile, Ye-na offers Eun-ha a job cleaning house to humiliate her, but Eun-ha swallows her pride and takes it.
Eun-ha gets fired and kicked out of her apartment. Having nowhere to go, she wanders around in the rain. She goes to Ji-hwan’s house to return his coat and ends up staying there for the night. Ji-hwan goes to Yoon-taek’s house to look for him, and Eun-ha tags along to talk to his little sister. Meanwhile, Hyun-woo also heads to Yoon-taek’s house, only to run into Ji-hwan and Eun-ha.
Hyun-woo tells Eun-ha who Ji-hwan really is, but she tries to defend Ji-hwan. Eun-ha runs into Hong-ki, who is on the run from Ji-hwan, but Hong-ki soon gets caught by the members of the Bulldog Gang. Meanwhile, Ji-hwan holds a welcoming party for Eun-ha, and Eun-ha invites someone over.
After having a drink last night, Eun-ha pretends that nothing happened between Ji-hwan and her. Ji-hwan seems quite proud and satisfied with his new nickname which Eun-ha gave. Meanwhile, Il-young and Mi-ho get doused with water when they walk down the street together. The members of the Bulldog Gang hurriedly head somewhere after getting an emergency call in the morning.
Eun-ha and Ji-hwan are finally rescued from the cold storage, and Eun-ha gets hospitalised. Mi-ho runs into Il-young on her way to visit Eun-ha, and there goes an awkward moment between them. Meanwhile, Hyun-woo tries to help Eun-ha find her childhood friend from her neighbourhood.
Ji-hwan recalls the day he buried a box that a childhood friend gave him eight years ago and how he got involved in a fight at a hotel ten years ago. Ji-hwan soon leaves home alone to save Yoon-taek, who is kept hostage. Meanwhile, Hyun Woo receives a tip about the drug deal and witnesses Ji-hwan at the scene.
Hyun-woo says that he can tell Eun-ha who the Hyun-woo she's looking for is. Eun-ha announces that she plans to move out of Ji-hwan's house. She starts to go out to find a place she'll move in. Meanwhile, Ji-hwan hears that Eun-ha is on a blind date in the company building and becomes curious about the blind date.
The members of the Bulldog Gang take Eun-ha and Ji-hwan on a trip with the intention of helping them make up with each other. Eun-ha goes for a walk in the woods alone and Ji-hwan starts to worry about her. Meanwhile, Mi-ho does a pregnancy test herself, but she ends up losing the test stick.
Eun-ha creates her new channel for kids online again, and she soon gets comments from two passionate fans. Il-young comes to visit Mi-ho's hair salon to tell her how he feels. Meanwhile, Ji-hwan witnesses an uninvited guest chatting with Man-ho and Jae-soo in his place. At a bakery, Dong-hui runs into someone who reminds him of his past that he doesn't wish to recall.
Hyun-woo is furious that he's forced to stop investigating the drug case involving Go Yang-hee. Il-young recalls how he ended up spending the night at Mi-ho's house. Ji-hwan tells Eun-ha about his childhood and relationship with Seo Tae-pyeong. Dong-hui can't stop thinking about his time with Seung-hui.
Eun-ha is convinced that she has finally found Hyun-woo whom she has been desperately looking for. Dong-hui is intimidated by a man who causes a commotion in the company and recalls the old days he spent with Seung-hui. Mi-ho finds out that Il-young knew about her secret all along. Meanwhile, Tae-pyung makes an offer to Ji-hwan.
Il-young announces to the gang that he’ll get married to Mi-ho and that she’s pregnant with his child. Seo Tae-pyeong barges into Ji-hwan’s company with his men and claims to settle the debt. Fearing Seo Tae-pyeong’s retribution, the company’s board members resign. Meanwhile, Eun-ha gets attacked by Go Yang-hee while wrapping up the offline event.
Ji-hwan faces a significant dilemma when he realises that, despite his strong desire to be with Eun-ha, his presence might actually put her safety at risk. On the other hand, Eun-ha is unconcerned about the dangers that might follow Ji-hwan and simply wants to be with him. Ji-hwan feels he needs to complete one last task before making any decisions about Eun-ha, but it might already be too late.
Ji-hwan is critically injured while attempting to rescue his father and is now in a coma due to severe bleeding. The only option is to wait for him to regain consciousness. Eun-ha remains by his side, caring for him and hoping for his recovery. Meanwhile, Tae-pyung, who has been arrested, refuses to confess voluntarily, though he does show some emotional response upon learning about his son's condition.
