Happy Ending Romance: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Cha Jung Woo might have had a bright future as a writer, had he not chosen to speak up against the corruption he witnessed among his seniors. Unfortunately, being unable to remain silent when faced with such unscrupulous behavior, Jung Woo chose to speak up, essentially ending his career before it even started. At least that's how things would have gone, had Kim Jung Hyun not chosen to stand beside him.

One of the literary world's brightest stars, Jung Hyun isn't afraid of Jung Woo's tarnished reputation. That being the case, Jung Hyun is more than a little wary when his young friend is approached by the highly successful publisher, Han Tae Young. Offering Jung Woo a chance to publish under his own name, Tae Young makes him an offer he can't refuse, but Jung Hyun isn't convinced Tae Young's motives are completely noble. 

Offering Tae Young a chance to publish one of his own works. Fueled by jealousy, Jung Hyun tries to keep Jung Woo away from the overly ambitious publisher; but no matter how hard he tries, Jung Woo can't seem to resist Tae Young's many charms. Torn between the writer he looks up to and the publisher he can't resist, where will Jung Woo's wavering heart land?
