After running away from home, Liang Yufang, the second generation inheritor of a five-star hotel, began work at the bottom level of his family’s hotel under a different name. Tian Wei’s dream is to become a singer, but due to her alcoholic father and mentally-challenged brother, she had to find work. With the help of her friends, she became a pastry worker in Liang Yufang’s family hotel.
There, the two meet and, after a series of misunderstandings, fell in love.
Yet when the truth about Liang Yufang’s identity came out, Tian Wei began to doubt his truthfulness to her. Meanwhile, Yufang’s family opposed the couple, especially because of Tian Wei’s brother.
At this crucial moment, Zhao Xi, who has been working with Yufang, breaks between the two. After being rejected by Yufang in public, the Liang family feels indebted to her. She slowly rises in the hotel and becomes a part of family, eventually getting engaged to Yufang. But she also has a dark motive for all this – revenge.
Cheng Xue Ge had lived in the life of comfort and never knew the dark side of human nature until his father’s company bankrupted. In order to restore the company, he must learn from his archrival, Yao Zi Wang, the ins and outs of being a shrewd, successful businessman. While working closely together, he slowly realizes her coldblooded ruthlessness was only a front to protect her battered heart. But before he could sort out his feelings about her, another man, Zhao Guan Xi, already has his eyes on her business talent and her hand in marriage.

Unlike many K-drama series, Wedding begins with two young lovers tying the knot. However almost from the word go, things do not go smoothly for the newlyweds. Se-na (Jang Nara) is a music graduate from a rich family and works as a manager at a theater. She was introduced to diplomat Seung-woo (Ryu Shi Won) and the two decide to marry because they are considered a good match.
As time goes by, however, they clash on virtually every issue because of their different backgrounds and life values. Seung-woo begins falling for his childhood sweetheart, Yun-soo (Myung Se Bin), who is far less reckless than Se-na. But as her husband drifts away from her, Se-na grows more attracted to him and begins to take steps towards reconciling their differences.
Synopsis
Lee Se-na is the only daughter from a wealthy background. Because of her pampered upbringing, she believes that she can get anything she wants if she sets her heart to it. She meets Han Seung-Woo, a self-made diplomat, who is not-so-secretly in love with his childhood friend Yoon-su, currently in Japan with her fiance, Seung-Woo’s colleague Jin-Hui. Se-na instantly falls in love with Seung-Woo, who asks her what she thinks the meaning of marriage is. In their subsequent marriage, their values are questioned as Se-na’s complete trust in Seung-Woo shatters with the realization of Yoon-su’s and Seung-Woo’s relationship, and Seung-Woo’s happiness in marriage shatters with Se-na’s deepening mistrust and her own relationship with Jin-Hui.
