The Practical Guide to Love

Ui-young, a member of the hotel’s purchasing team, is soaring in her career, but her love life is at a complete standstill. Determined to revive her dying "romance cells," she decides to find love again. Just then, Kang Do-hyun—a junior who claimed Ui-young was his first love back in college—joins the hotel’s legal team. Seeing him every day in the same office begins to stir her heart.

After a blind date with Tae-seop (Park Sung-hoon), Ui-young waits for a follow-up text. But no matter how long she waits, the "let's meet again" message never comes. Is it officially over?

Ui-young discovers that Tae-seop is the CEO of HOME. She struggles to make up for her past mistakes, but Tae-seop ends up deeply misunderstanding her. Late at night, Ui-young leaves the campsite alone. As a sudden downpour causes her to lose her way, Tae-seop goes out to find her. The two seek shelter from the rain inside a cathedral and are forced to spend the night together in the silence.

Seeing Jisu sends Taeseop over the edge, leading him to blurt out that he kissed Uiyeong right in front of him. However, Taeseop immediately regrets it when he finds himself unable to come clean to Uiyeong about what happened the night before. Meanwhile, Jisu—bothered by how close Uiyeong and Taeseop seem—continues to flirt relentlessly with her.

After unexpectedly spending the night with both men, Uiyeong is tormented by the memories of the previous night. From that day on, Jisu goes "full speed ahead," openly expressing his feelings for her. However, Uiyeong becomes deeply conflicted when she discovers that Jisu is involved in a scandal with actress Son Jeong-a. Meanwhile, Taeseop goes all out, meticulously preparing for his long-awaited first date with Uiyeong.
