While driving his taxi, Do Gi notices Romi in a dangerous situation and immediately jumps into the river to save her just as she attempts to jump.

Do Gi rescues Romi again by taking her in his model taxi.

Romi was preparing to debut under the entertainment agency Yellow Star, but her dream was threatened by conflicts with Manager Song. After losing consciousness at a nightlife venue, she was blackmailed and pressured by the agency's director to engage in sponsor relationships. She became confused upon realizing the meeting place was a nightlife establishment.

Determined to clear Romi's name, Do Gi investigates the truth behind the incident.

Do Gi eliminates Manager Song to secure the manager position and approaches Kang Joo-ri (played by Jang Na-ra) to build trust.

As the manager in charge of Elements, Do Gi begins observing Kang Joo-ri to uncover her true nature.
