In the romantic comedy, quiet Japanese security guard Kohei Namiki, whose only real interest seems to be astronomy, is ordered to bodyguard top Korean actress Han Yoo-Na at an exceptional production set in Japan. Namiki is a single man approaching his 40s who has a part-time job at a security company. He has a sweet and handsome appearance, which some people take advantage of. Easily swayed by those around him, Kohei often takes care of his sister's three kids because of her habit of wandering around, but he is a passionate man and dreams of finding his star. But because of his family and economic situations, he can't follow through on those dreams. One day, Kohei is assigned security detail for the beautiful actress Han Yoo-Na for a period of 100 days. Yoo-Na is a pure and kind person. Even though she appears nearly perfect and very stylish, she prefers to act like normal people. She enjoys eating simple Japanese food and on the filming set Yoo-Na tries to take time out of her busy schedule to help others. She seems to be envied by all, but actually feels lonely due to being an idol and unknown to others, she has a sad secret. At first, Kohei and Yoo-Na don't seem to get along due to the differences in their social status. But as the deadline of the 100 days approaches, their relationship undergoes some very pleasant changes.
