Vampire Woo-hyeol has one desperate wish: to become human and experience heart-pounding love. He tried many ways to become human, but none of them worked. After hearing from a 1000-year-old cat that he can become human if he sleeps in a hawthorn coffin for 100 years, he enters the coffin for a lengthy slumber.

With only one day left in his 100-year goal, he fails to become a human being. He is even bitten by a woman, In-hae, causing him to faint.

Meanwhile, In-hae encounters a real estate scammer and gets involved in a chase to catch the fraudster, but finds herself in danger...

However, In-hae becomes anxious, thinking that Woo-hyeol's vampire identity might be revealed during dinner.
