Hanna Kang is an overweight phone-sex worker who also serves as a ghost singer for Ammy, a famous pop star who lip-syncs her songs. Hanna harbors a crush on Sang-jun Han, a director whose arrogant father, President Choi, runs the record label that Ammy is signed to. One day, Ammy sends Hanna an outfit she claims is from Sang-jun to wear to his birthday party, and then wears the same outfit at the party herself to publicly humiliate Hanna. Crying in the restroom, Hanna overhears Sang-jun telling Ammy to be kind to her so she can continue using Hanna’s voice. Devastated, Hanna attempts suicide, but a phone call from one of her clients, a plastic surgeon, halts the act and leads to extensive surgery that changes everything.
