After a chaotic blind date with Nam Soo-Pil (Son Suk-Ku), her personality changes completely to being bright, happy, and romantic. She laughs for no reason, and she is drawn to a colourful one-piece dress that she had no interest in before. Even a group text message for business from her alumnus, Kim Yeon-Woo (Jang Ki-Ha), that rings every day, brings her joy. She then learns that she is infected with the Toxovirus that has a fatality rate of 100%. The virus causes her to fall in love for no reason. Her sudden mood changes are due to the virus. She has an encounter with virus expert Lee Kyun (Kim Yun-Seok), who is the only person that can create a cure. [Source: AsianWiki]
