Plot
Kang Seung-Wan (Kim Seung-Woo), who was once a child golf star, is now living a dull life of a securities broker. Because of his innocent and gullible nature, he's treated as a mockery of the company whereby he's being chased by a mobster, MA Kang-Sung (Lee Mun-Shik) for having invested all of Ma's money into a near bankrupt company. On the day he's nearly beat to death by Ma, he drives through a tunnel where he comes across his clone. As both Seung-Wans are startled, Seung-Wan crashes into a tunnel wall.
Seung-Wan regains his consciousness. He looks fine and feels fine, yet right when he's about to treat what's happened to him as a dream, everyone on the streets crowd him in. And what's with the giant park in the middle of Main Street? Right then, Seung-Wan looks to the billboards full of his advertisement pictures. It's a world where his dreams as a golf star have come true. That's when a woman, or Seung-Wan's wife, appears in front of bewildered Seung-Wan to slap him in his face. Good thing he's a superstar, but not only is he a sports star, but he's a playboy alright. Unlike his wife, Han Ji-young (Ha Ji-Won) who would go at him for sleeping around with a celebrity actress, Kang Seung-Wan falls for the woman who slaps him on their first meeting and moves in with her.
Unlike Ji-Young, who treats Seung-Wan like dirt thinking that he's her husband, Seung-Wan makes an awkward face. Ji-Young, who shows her rough sleeping habits thinking that he's her husband though she suspects him for being too nice of a guy suddenly. Right when she was about to call it quits on her marriage, she is moved by his kindness. But suddenly he's entrusted with a mission to be completed when everything was happy-go-lucky with his new mansion and a good looking wife. He must compete with world golf champion Bill Jackson. Not having played golf for over ten years, what is he going to do next? But there must not be any turning back especially as Ji-young is slowly opening up to him. A victory is a must! Will Seung-Wan be able to win the competition of his life? The story now begins.
