Cha Joo Eun (Seohyun) was born into a family of scammers. Her parents “work” to deceive people with very convincing tricks, often endangering their own lives, including Joo Eun’s. Like when her mother, Kim Mi Sook (Song Seon Mi) pushed Joo Eun towards the car and demanded compensation from the vehicle owner.
A few days later, Joo Eun suspects a beggar who is believed to be her father. Certainly, by pretending to be paralyzed, his father, Cha Hyun Tae (Park Sung Geun) became a beggar. This made the girl feel frustrated and angry.
Apparently this fake beggar’s work was organized. They have a solid team that actually works by deceiving a lot of people. They are Jeong Bok Gi (Kim Hyo Jin) and Kim Jae Wook (Kim Young Min). One day, the group plans something very risky. Joo Eun’s father, who became an actor in the field, had to act with two other members of the scammer. They act as if they caught a beggar’s lie.
As expected, they succeeded and reaped greater profits because Joo Eun’s father pretended to be a priest who had to beg to meet other people’s needs. The story certainly made many people pity.
As a result, donations are constantly being routed to the scammer’s team. After managing to raise a lot of money, they leave behind Joo Eun’s father, who must surely face the wrath of his scam victims alone. The two of them went to a place far away outside of Korea.
Seeing her father fall victim to Bok Gi and Jae Wook’s scam, while her mother also didn’t want to get involved, Joo Eun was very sad. Mainly because only his father was happy to hear that he graduated from college, while his mother asked him to work part-time and still help him cheat. Not only is she sad, Joo Eun also wants to avenge the actions of two scammers who sacrificed her father.
Joo Eun asks Han Son (Tae Won Seock) to teach her how to play the role of a con man, but the man refuses. He wanted the girl to live a normal life. However, he soon changed his mind. Joo Eun started to enter the world of scams more professionally and became very skilled over the years.
One day, Joo Eun sees Bok Gi returning to Korea. With Han Son’s help, he uses various methods to catch the cheating woman. Everything went well at first, but it was clear that Bok Gi was much smarter than Joo Eun.
Nine years later, Joo Eun is released from prison. The deceptive nature of her parents turned out to be reduced in this woman. He falsifies anything he shares on social media and scams his followers there. Not long after being released from prison, he and Han Son met at a restaurant.
When Joo Eun and Jang Min Jung (Jang Jin Hee) are drinking at a bar, they are approached by Lee Jung Hwan (Go Kyung Pyo). The handsome man tries to seduce Joo Eun but is surprised to learn that he is a former prisoner. Meanwhile, Han Son constantly tries to approach Joo Eun and convince her to return to the “game”. Is she willing to accept his offer?
