"Romance Town" started with a scene showing a young Noh Soon-keum (Sung Yu-ri) watching the 1988 Seoul Olympics with her grandmother (Kim Ji-young) and mother (Lim Ye-jin). The drama took off from the times when just like the grandmother asked, "So will our country become rich now?", the entire nation believed everyone's livelihoods would improve and mothers, like those of Soon-keum's, swore they would not let their children suffer the hardships that they did. But 20 years later, the same money continues to run in their bloods. Soon-keum, whose grandmother and mother were both housekeepers, becomes a housekeeper herself and Kang Kun-woo (Jung Gyu-woon), who has a rich dad, is still rich. While most romantic comedies are absorbed in linking the main male and female characters together, "Romance Town" drew a strict line between the two's social status and focused on the reason it must depict on the rich and their housekeepers that live on the first street of the posh district of Gangnam in Seoul.
