Dreaming of a Freaking Fairy Tale (2024)

With her father gone, Jae-rim is left all alone, and the only things he left for her were debt and a piece of paper about an announcement on the recruitment at Chungdam Heaven. Accepting the miserable truth, she decides to give it a shot and get a job as a manager at Chungdam Heaven, so she can find her Prince Charming to start a new life.

Jae-rim ruins her interview and returns home, but Cha-min can't stop thinking about her. Therefore, he decides to hire her as an Angel Manager at Chungdam Heaven. However, he quickly gets disappointed when he realizes she is desperate for marriage, not for the job.

Jae-rim secures a position at Chungdam Heaven, aiming to elevate her modest lifestyle by finding a wealthy partner. However, her optimism fades as her eccentric boss assigns her menial tasks. Faced with a bleak reality and an uncertain future, her aspirations of marrying into wealth through Chungdam Heaven appear increasingly futile. Meanwhile, Cha-min begins to develop unusual sentiments toward Jae-rim.

Jae-rim meets the man of her dreams at Chungdam Heaven and believes he’s her ticket out of her lowly life. Seeing her desperate to do anything to reach her goal makes Cha-min think she’s pathetic, yet he feels a twinge of jealousy as she gets closer to another man. He won’t admit it but he can’t stop thinking about her. At a party, Jae-rim expects great things with her dream guy, but things don't go as planned.

Dan-ah storms out of the hall as Cha-min helps Jae-rim out of the trouble. However, Jae-rim still feels humiliated as she realises all the club members are looking down on her, except for Do-hong, who understands how she feels as he once has been in her situation.

Cha-min decides to become Jae-rim's Fairy Godmother and help her with Do-hong, while Jae-rim gets disappointed as he seems like he is not into her at all. Meanwhile, Do-hong confesses his feelings to Jae-rim and offers her to work on his film with him.

Cha-min saves Jae-rim from Dan-ah's uncles, and Jae-rim realizes he truly cares about her. However, she believes that he is not confessing his feelings to her because she is way below his league. Furthermore, she has a huge fight with Hwa-jin and leaves the house. Meanwhile, Do-hong comes back to Chungdam Heaven to see Jae-rim.

Cha-min visits his father, and he warns him to be aware of women who approach him for his wealth. He feels awful as he reminds him of his mother who left him when he was little. Meanwhile, Do-hong brings a guest to Chungdam Heaven.

Jae-rim helps Cha-min have a heart-to-heart chat with his mother for the first time. As Dan-ah realises Cha-min's feelings for Jae-rim get deeper, she uses it as a threat and forces him to rush the wedding. Meanwhile, Do-hong asks Jae-rim to quit working at Chungdam Heaven and go to Berlin with him.

After Jae-rim hears the news about Chungdam Heaven going bankrupt, she starts to worry about Cha-min. Therefore, she sneaks into Chungdam Heaven to check up on him. Meanwhile, Cha-min brings a guest to his father before he leaves him to become Prince Charming without his help.
