Synopsis

Yoon So-so (Lee Yeon-hee) works as a travel guide in France. She leads a group of tourists on a package tour. The travelers all have their own stories. San Ma-roo (Jung Yong-hwa) joined the tour after being dumped by his girlfriend. Kim Gyung-jae (Choi Woo-shik) has been dating for the past 10 years. A mysterious man (Yoon Park) seems to follow Yoon So-so. Jung Yeon-sung (Ryu Seung-soo) joined the package tour with a partner, but he will not reveal what kind of relationship they are in. Han So-ran (Ha Shi-eun) is a web designer and agonizes over staying single or marriage. Oh Gab-soo (Jung Kyoo-soo) is extremely stubborn. Han Book-ja (Lee Ji-hyun) spent most of her life taking care of her husband. Jung Na-hyun (Park Yoo-na) is a woman whom other people cannot guess her age. They all do not want to become involved in each other's personal lives, but, while they travel together, they become closer and develop relationships.[4]
