    Yu-seok (Kim) is feverishly searching for his girlfriend, who has suddenly disappeared. Ae-yeon (Lee Yoon-ji) still holds the ring that her boyfriend gave her before leaving. Na-ri (Lee Si-young) is just wandering through life, looking for love. Bok-nam, who calls himself the ‘hyena of the city,’ has fallen for a friend of a friend, and Byeong-chan is a brute that has stopped believing in love. Through a series of incidents both comedic and serendipitous, these five singles become entangled in each other’s lives, revealing the funny and strange ways that fate brings couples together.
