[edit] Plot
Like all beautiful love stories, this romantic K-movie begins its setting on a beautiful evening with the pale moonlight and the cool night breeze. The audience stand watching their idol Ammy on stage dance, strut, and do her thing. They love her, love the performance and cheer wildly for the woman of their dreams. It is a perfect concert.
Too bad the woman on the stage is not our protagonist for the day. She didn't even sing that song. Hanna, who watches from under the stage in a special room is innocent, slightly naive and outstanding in terms of size, is the actual singer. During her free time, she works as a popular phone sex employee because of her beautiful set of vocals. But her main job as a lip-sync vocalist involves being trapped in a tiny and stifling room of her own during concerts, to recording albums under Ammy's name. She's also in love, an undying crush for music company's director Sang-Jun, who is dating Ammy. Hanna doesn't mind though, as long as she could look at her prince everyday, she's content and happy.
One day, during Sang Jun's birthday party, Ammy humiliates Hanna in front of her prince, knowing fully Hanna's unrequited crush on him. She suffers blow after blow, after overhearing Sang Jun mentioning in the bathroom that they should be nice to Hanna, for they are making use of her just for her excellent vocals so they should not try to drive her away.
Bitterly heartbroken, Hanna decides upon suicide, but is interrupted her phone sex regular (who happens to be a plastic surgeon), and decides to go for an head-to-toe operation makeover instead. 1 year later, the brand new Hanna emerges, living a totally different life. She decides to go back to her old company to audition for Ammy's lip-sync vocalist again...
