Beauty and Mr. Romantic is a romance K-Drama that follows the story of an actress who feels burnt out after working 15 years non-stop. But despite allowing her to rest, her mother books her contracts without consulting her.

Park Do-Ra (played by Lim Soo-Hyang) lands a role in a show in which Go Pil-Seung (played by Ji Hyun-Woo) is a producing director. He remembers her as the young girl who tattled on him for having a relationship with an older woman when he was 18.

At the same time, Pil-Seung's family hates Mi-Ja (played by Cha Hwa-Yeon), Do-Ra's mother who scammed their grandfather in the past.

As an adult, all she wants is to be able to take a break and go on a vacation. But her mother has other plans and that involves using Do-Ra to fund her finances.
