Thinking that she has a low self-esteem compared to others, Ji-hyun has a low self-esteem in one way or another, and she takes owning her own brand of clothing as a goal to strive for in her life. One day, she sees a very beautiful brand-name dress in a clothing store, but the price is as high as 3.5 million won, which is not affordable for Ji-hyun, so she takes her mom's credit card to charge it without her permission. What's more, Ji-hyun doesn't want to wear it, but cuts the dress from the seams to study its template.
