‘Dreaming of a Freaking Fairy Tale’

Everyone dreams of having a happily ever after like Cinderella. But if there’s one thing we’ve learned about life, is that it’s anything but a fairytale.

When she’s not busy tending to high-profile guests, she secretly dreams of meeting her Prince Charming and climbing her way out of poverty.

That’s when she meets the cold Moon Cha-Min (Lee Jun-Young), the son of a wealthy conglomerate family. He just so happens to be the CEO where Jae-Rim works.

As they learn more about each other quirks and what makes them tick, they’d also have to retrieve their beloved special needs dog, Colin, back from his new owners.
