After saving her life, everyone notices she has no will to live. The nurses at the hospital are regulars at her coffee shop (her coffee is absolutely delicious), and everyone is worried about her. Initially, the male protagonist's only thought is how to bring her back to life. So, he buys her high-quality coffee beans and a coffee machine, places them in her hospital room, and gives her a pot of mint. Slowly, he begins to develop inexplicable feelings for her. The driver who hit her is a mischievous boy who failed his college entrance exams.

    The female lead has been a top student with exceptionally high intelligence since childhood, skipping grades and nearing her doctoral graduation. However, due to a lack of a happy childhood, she is rather aloof. The male lead, who was always overshadowed by her, strives to catch up, harboring a secret crush on her and constantly trying to make her happy. The story is filled with jokes he tells to amuse her. Later, when the female lead falls for him, she discovers his long-standing crush and begins to pursue him directly, using cheesy pick-up lines and competing to see who can be more corny, creating a playful back-and-forth.

    The female lead is a top student who also served as a diplomat for several years before returning from abroad to become the mayor's secretary after a family crisis. The male lead is her high school classmate and has a crush on her. He thought his chances were hopeless, but when she suddenly returns, he immediately tries to get close to her. Neither lead is conventionally beautiful or handsome. The female lead has a cool, aloof air, but she's surprisingly cute and has a hidden goofy side. The male lead is clean-cut, responsible, worldly-wise, and possesses high emotional intelligence. He's also loyal to his friends, joining a company with them and contributing both money and technical expertise (it's a normal company, not a domineering CEO). His parents also like the female lead, enjoying her peaceful and happy life without setbacks.
