Synopsis

[edit]

A romantic comedy about an energetic and cheerful pianist named Goo Ra-ra. She lost everything she had in a sudden, turning her lucky rich life into rags. While trying to rebuild her new life, she meets a mysterious, warm-hearted multi part-time worker named Sunwoo Joon. After their unpredictable meeting, Sunwoo Joon starts to help Goo Ra-ra by paying for her daily expenses, even building a small place for her piano lessons called Lala Land in order to help her get back on her feet. Together, they get involved with people that live in a small town (Eunpo City) in the countryside. This is the place where their secrets, pain, stories, and the reason behind Sunwoo Jun's thoughtful acts towards Goo Ra-ra slowly start to leak out.
