Shim Bo-nui was once a promising computer
engineer, until an accident sent her sister to the hospital in a
coma. Now Bo-nui floats from job to job, her odd superstitious
rituals hampering her attempts to mitigate her bad luck. Meanwhile
the hospital threatens to discharge her comatose sister, for
non-payment of medical bills, and she's about to be evicted. Bo-nui
visits her favorite local shaman for more advice, desperate for some
sort of guaranteed offering that will let her sister wake up. He
reveals to her that if she spends the night with a man who has the
zodiac sign of the tiger by the next full moon, then her sister will
be cured! What happens when the only available tiger she can find in
her social circle is the cold and calculating Je Soo-ho, the CEO of
the famous game developer company, Zeze Factory? Will he help her, or
will Bo-nui lose everything to her terrible fortune? And what happen
whens a childhood friend comes back into the picture?
*This drama had a promising start, but it lost steam after about 5 episodes and just plodded along. There was some ramping up to major drama, but it fizzled out as the characters make choices that just weren't dramatic (which can be nice to watch sometimes). I didn't find the main actors attractive or charming, and the main theme song got on my nerves eventually (not enough to the song/enough length or variety). It does have a nice ending, however, and I do appreciate that with any story. I probably wouldn't watch it a second time, though.
