Enter billionaire jewellery tycoon and third-generation chaebol heir, Cha Ji-hoon. A notorious bachelor and workaholic who feels dating is a frivolous distraction from his responsibilities. 

Numerous attempts by his family to get him married have failed because he throws himself into work to avoid emotional connection. Despite this, women flock to him, drawn to his wealth and handsome looks. 

With a reputation for being ruthless in business and aloof in relationships, Ha-na takes on the challenge of finding Ji-hoon a perfect match. 

Can she melt his icy heart and find his perfect match? Or will she realize that she has been his ideal match all along?

Mr. Billionaire Matchmaker

"You're the most incorrigible man I've ever met," Ha-na said to Ji-hoon, sighing exasperatedly.

The pair were among the two dozen people that sauntered along the grassy, stony path of the labyrinthine Vigneron's Walk. Tall, green trellised grapevines flanked either side of the pathway, lighted only faintly by the strings of yellowed Bristo lights tangled in the vines, and the creamy-white moon that hung like a large saucer in the inky sky.

The scenery created a sense of intimacy and quiet contemplation, interrupted only by the melodic, repetitive chirp-chirp-chirp of crickets and the light scraping of feet against gravel.

Ha-na would have felt discomfited to have been in such a situation alone with Ji-hoon, if not for the couple pacing ahead of them, and the occasional shrieks of laughter from the other party heard from the other side of their hedge.
