Synopsis

“I Picked Up A Star On The Road,” a Korean drama, tells the story of a young woman, Lee Yeon Seo, who works as a contract employee for a company known as Bonjour. She wishes to give her boss, Mr. Nam, a lesson for always mistreating her.

After getting drunk during a company drink party, she assaults a person, thinking that he’s her boss, Mr. Nam. But she quickly learns that the person she knocked out is in fact a prominent Hallyu star, Kang Joon Hyuk. She thinks that she killed him and takes him to her apartment to get rid of his body.   When Joon Hyuk wakes up, he thinks that he has been kidnapped by a psycho killer.
