Cast

Gun-hee, a 32-year-old career woman with no interest in marrying is the second of four daughters whose mother runs a boarding house. She's ambitious, selfish, competitive, independent, the epitome of the "gold miss" — single and lovin' it.[6]
A 32-year-old chaebol son to a food corporation president who happens to be one of Mom's lodgers. He's got some smarts and skills, but he refuses to do anything he doesn't want to do. A pampered rich boy, even if he really is a big softie underneath the sly exterior.[7]
Matriarch and president of the small but prestigious Chinjung Kimchi company.
CEO of food corporation Sangcharim, and father of Kang-jae.
Sun-hee, the sweet and maternal 33-year-old unni ("older sister") who raised her sisters after Dad died and Mom had to work to keep them afloat. Because of that, she has a bit of complex about not having lived her own life.
35-year-old Jang-won, another boarder. Jang-won is a divorced stunt director, and painful memories are why he keeps love at arm's length.
  • Kim Se-jung as Yoo Min-jung
24-year-old Min-jung, a fun-loving, vivacious material girl who loves designer clothes and men with money.
  • Seo Jae-kyung as Kim Soon-dol
A 30-year-old club-hopping, rap-loving city man whose looks totally contradict his personality. He likes Min-jung, but she's pretty picky about looks... until she finds out that he's the only son to a rich real estate businessman in the States.
The 21-year-old youngest daughter who's a cynical old soul, wise beyond her years. She doesn't have a romantic partner yet, but she does have a crush on Jang-won. Her interest in the stunt director stems from her own dream to be a film director. For that reason, she goes around with a camcorder in order to shoot a family movie and sticks her nose into everybody's business.
  • Kim Jae-deuk as Park Se-won
A 24-year-old playboy partier who spends money freely and gets into accidents left and right. He ends up moving into the boarding home when his troublemaking ways get him kicked out of home.
