He works part-time at a security company. He has a sweet and handsome appearance which some people take advantage of as he is easily swayed by those around him. Kohei often takes care of his sister's three kids because his sister has a habit of wandering around. He is a passionate man and dreams of finding his star, but because of his family and economic situations, Kohei can't follow through on those dreams. One day, Kohei is assigned security detail for the beautiful actress Han Yoo Na. Even though she has a near perfect appearance and style, she prefers to act like a normal person. She enjoys eating simple Japanese foods, and on the filming set, Yoo Na goes out of her way to help others. Yoo Na has a pure and kind spirit and seems to be the envy of all. Inside, however, Yoo Na is lonely working in the entertainment field and she has a big secret. At first, bodyguard Kohei and top star Yoo Na don't get along. With time, they become closer. Over the next ninety-nine days, their relationship changes. But on the hundredth day when the contract ends, what choice will they make? Edit Translation

Reviews
And yet, I loved it! I marathoned through it in a couple of days, and enjoyed every episode. I laughed, smiled, grinned. One may object that a drama is either good and to our liking, or it isn't. But the reasons why I like watching something aren't always as clear-cut and defined as I would like to think: I can remain cold in front of a masterpiece, and be enthusiastic of a piece of trinkets.
Hence my tepid marks, which reflect what I hope is an unbiased estimation, not the degree of my liking it.
Fact is, I truly loved the characters. Kohei, the bodyguard played by Nishijima Hidetoshi, is incredibly endearing. I had never seen this actor on screen before and at first sight I thought he was the complete opposite of an eye-candy. But his character is so sweet and lovable, I ended up liking him a lot. Kim Tae Hee, whom I could barely tolerate in My Princess, is adorable here, contributing factor the Japanese language, which renders her voice deeper and more pleasant.
The great actor Takanabe is hilarious. He seems vain and utterly stupid, but we soon discover he hides his own complex, and from that moment on, I dare everyone not to root for him, if not as a lover, at least as a friend and professional actor.
All the other characters do a good job, including Taecyeon, who surprised me with his very good Japanese. The bad guys aren't given enough screen time to get on our nerves.
The music is fine, mostly in the second half of the drama.
Surprisingly, I think I'll rewatch this drama one day. It was a perky watch, which I recommend to whomever is in need of something light, funny, romantic without being melodramatic or mushy.
