Synopsis

The drama starts off with Geum-soon in the midst of a hairdressing exam in beautician school, which she fails after suffering a high-tide in her bladder. She marries Song-hwan, who dies in a car accident days later She then moves in with her in-laws and gives birth to son Hwi-seong. She takes on various jobs to earn their keep (although her mother-in-law initially suggests that she should stay at home for another year to look after the baby): she promotes nutritional-drink products in the Korea University Hospital, then went on to be an apprentice in a hair salon.

Geum-soon gets into an accident after her scooter crashes into the car of a fastidious young doctor who reports her to the police and picks up every tiny little fault from a broken finger to a sprained ankle. Later, much to her surprise, when she applies to apprentice at the hair salon, she's shocked to realize that the doctor is the salon owner's son! Eun-ju, the salon's assistant-manager, initially rejects her application because they already have more than enough staff, but later Jae-hee and Mi-ja decide they should employ her.

Geum-soon is placed under the guidance of a colleague, Hae-mee, who bullies her. She changes her hairstyle from a "cabbage-head" (her nickname for Jae-hee) to her a straight and curly one. She loses her job shortly after revealing her past to Miss Yoon after being late one day and her secret is discovered by the assistant-manager.
