Synopsis of Love Scout
Han Ji Min plays Kang Ji Yun, a successful woman leading a headhunting company with a high-profile clientele. Ji Yun is known for her total dedication to work, often neglecting personal matters like eating or remembering her employees’ names. Her sole focus is on results and client satisfaction, which often makes her seem rigid and cold.
However, Ji Yun’s busy life starts to unravel when she faces a major conflict with a big client. This situation leads to an unexpected encounter with Yu Eun Ho, a character played by Lee Jun Hyuk.
Yu Eun Ho initially worked at another company and was tasked with retaining a researcher named Yong Ha-jin to prevent them from moving to another firm. Unfortunately, a major misunderstanding cost Eun Ho his job.
After becoming unemployed, Eun Ho is offered a job as Kang Ji Yun’s personal manager through his friend Lee Kang Suk, who happens to be the husband of Ji Yun’s company CFO. Initially hesitant, Eun Ho accepts the job to support his daughter financially.
On his first day, Eun Ho faces a huge challenge: Kang Ji Yun outright rejects his presence. She even opts to communicate with the CFO rather than speak directly to him. But with patience and professionalism, Eun Ho begins to make a positive impact in the office.
Not only does he assist Ji Yun professionally, but he also helps her see a different side of life she has been neglecting. In turn, Eun Ho begins to understand that behind Ji Yun’s cold demeanor is a sincere and caring individual, albeit one who expresses it differently.
