Synopsis
An unloved, defective woman gets involved with the wife of her secret crush,

And somehow the two begin to share an unlikely friendship

Yeong-mi (Lee Yoo-young), the accounting manager at a factory, is ridiculed for her dowdy appearance and called 'Ms. Apocalypse' by her colleagues. Do-yeong (Roh Jae-won), a delivery driver, is the only one to show her any decency and kindness. As her feelings for him grow, Yeong-mi strives to get him off the hook even when she finds out that Do-yeong has been embezzling company money. It becomes the last day of 1999, and in the midst of people's fear that the world will come to an end, Yeong-mi gets arrested for aiding Do-yeong's crime. And thus, her new millennium starts wretchedly. As she walks out of prison after a few months, she comes across Do-yeong's wife, Yoo-jin (Lim Sun-woo), waiting for her and this unexpected visitor makes an implausible but compelling offer.
