Ferdinando Cefalú (Marcello Mastroianni) would love to unload his demanding,

can't take the legal means open to his American counterparts. Ferdinando

catches the lady committing adultery. The trick now is to make his
plate-of-potatoes spouse attractive enough so that some other man will
accommodate Ferdinando by cuckolding him.

Soo-gyung (Lee Sang-in) has already begun dating the guy. Ji-hyae helps her
friend compose romantic e-mails to Sang-min and sometimes socializes with
them, but feels like a third wheel. Sang-min seems to like her, but
Soo-gyung insists that it's only because Ji-hyae is her friend. Ji-hyae is
clearing out her family's home when she finds a box of love letters and an
old journal and begins reading about her mother, Sung Joon-hee (also played
by Son), the granddaughter of a wealthy politician, and her forbidden
dalliance with Oh Joon-ha (Cho Seung-woo of Chunhyang), a poor boy from the
same hometown. The two developed a romantic infatuation, but Joon-hee's
father had already planned for her to marry Tae-soo (Lee Gi-woo), the son of
a business associate. The situation grew more complicated when Tae-soo
