Just like Gong Soo Gwang (Na In Woo), fish seller at a traditional market, who does his best to make an honest living. He has a reputation for being incredibly unlucky and as a result, people try to avoid him at all costs.
At first, Soo Gwang had a perfectly normal, happy life but all that changed when he met Lee Seul Bi. After Gong Soo Gwang met Lee Seul Bi, his life totally changed. Since that day, whenever he dreams of Lee Seul Bi, something bad happens to him. As a result, his business often suffers. No one willing to approach him.
However Soo Gwang still has no idea why this woman has had such a strange effect on his fortune. In other hand, Lee Seul Bi fully understand that she has a special ability.

Using this gift to their advantage, a wealthy family has kept Seul Bi and her mother captive for years.
