She wears a black uniform of the special forces and goes around to collect debts. Her legendary image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

At the same time, an unprecedented order came from Zhishang Liquor Headquarters: The company president wants to find Yin Minzhu, the brewer of the beer "In My Name" that he fell in love with at first sight.The headquarters planning department and marketing department held an emergency meeting. At this time, Cai Longzhu, who was in Busan, was also greatly impressed by the "In My Name" brought back by his friend Wu Zanhui (played by Baek Sung-cheol) accidentally.This is the first time that Yin Minzhu appears in Cai Yongzhu's world. This mysterious winemaker that everyone is looking for is leisurely living his peaceful (?) daily life in the quiet rural village "Baeguli".Although he often selectively isolates himself due to the noise of the villagers, he still takes good care of the mood and difficulties of his employees, and his life is a little extraordinary.

However, the Busan branch of Zhisang Liquor, which Chae Yong-joo tried his best to protect, is facing a crisis and the branch is about to be merged.In order to implement the plan of acquiring "In My Name" beer ordered by the chairman, the Busan branch must close down. This news is like a bolt from the blue.Cai Longzhu never gives up easily and vows to try anything no matter what.At the same time, Lord Yin Minhao also came to Busan to celebrate the birthday of his younger brother Yin Minhao (played by Choi Ja-woon).Yoon Min-joo, who went to the amusement park with his younger brother, met Chae Yong-joo in front of the shooting range, who accurately hit the target without any emotion.Although Cai Longzhu appeared calm on the surface, he was suffering inside.Sensing Cai Longzhu's uneasiness, Yin Minzhu couldn't help but show worried eyes.

When Cai Yongzhu tried to remember where he had heard "In my name", he finally remembered Yin Minzhu's name.At this moment, Yin Minzhu, who couldn't stand Cai Longzhu's anxious emotions, pulled her and the two looked at each other.Cai Longzhu held back tears and tried to pretend not to care, while Yin Minzhu said: "You are not really okay."

Episode 2

In the second episode, Chae Yong-joo bravely knocked on the iron wall of Lord Yoon Min's heart.Yin Minzhu, who had a premonition of emotional overload, shouted for isolation to protect himself, but Cai Longzhu broke through this protection step by step, and finally came to Yin Minzhu.The scene where the two are closely connected makes the audience's heart beat faster, and also pave the way for the upcoming "heart-beating" romantic plot.Yin Minzhu found that he actually showed concern for Cai Longzhu. This unusual emotion made him feel strange.

The head of the marketing department at the headquarters proposed a poaching condition to Cai Longzhu: If the master Yin Min who brewed "In My Name" can be found, the Busan branch can be saved.Cai Longzhu immediately stated: "I will capture it no matter what!", showing his enthusiasm.Cai Longzhu set out for Pei Guli where Lord Yin Min was located on the first day.They met again under similar circumstances as when they first met, and the two recognized each other at a glance.Just when Cai Longzhu was ecstatic about the wonderful fate, Yin Minzhu said coldly: "Zhishang Liquor and I have nothing to talk about," and then turned and left.

However, when Yin Minzhu saw Cai Longzhu chasing him out barefoot and trying to persuade him, she felt the heart-shaking desire and urgency in her heart.Cai Yongzhu's emotions were conveyed in an unusually strong way. Yin Minzhu was keenly aware of the danger of this emotion and decisively drew a line: "From now on, I will isolate Miss Cai Yongzhu.” However, Cai Longzhu is not someone who gives up easily.When she saw smoke coming out of Master Yin Min's room, she showed her special forces skills and used a rope to rappel from the roof to confirm Master Yin Min's safety, and said domineeringly "Isolate and retreat", leaving Master Yin Min speechless for a moment.

Even though Cai Yongzhu's onslaught continued, Lord Yoon Min remained unwavering.Realizing that he could not impress Lord Yin Min with ordinary methods, Cai Longzhu's desire to win was ignited.When the manager (played by Jang Hyuk-jin) complained about the lack of manpower, Chae Yong-joo seized the opportunity and said, "How about I start working here tomorrow?" However, contrary to her grandiose ambitions, Chae Yong-joo showed up early the next morning.The village entrance encountered difficulties because the "Cai Longzhu Ban" was issued for the entire village.But Cai Longzhu was not discouraged. With her past business skills and the right medicine, she successfully won the favor of the villagers and finally entered the village.

Yoon Min-joo, who was looking for Chae Yong-joo everywhere, saw someone working dangerously when he came to the farm. He thought it was Go Sook-ja (played by Baek Hyun-joo) and Shim Young-ja (played by Park Ji-ah), and called them down worriedly.Unexpectedly, it was Cai Longzhu who jumped down from the ladder!The distance between the two people shortened instantly, causing their hearts to pound.

Episode 3

Yin Minzhu, who believed that the dispute in the village originated from Jishang Liquor, also cut off the connection between Cai Longzhu and Bang Yalin.He carefully took the salted Cai Longzhu to the bathroom to clean it up. Yin Minzhu's hot and cold attitude towards Cai Longzhu made the latter confused.Yin Minzhu explained that he had to refuse Jishang Liquor's proposal in order to protect the villagers who once accepted his lonely existence.Although Cai Longzhu understood the other party's position, he also realized that there were people behind him who needed to be protected, so he could not give up easily.

Cai Longzhu came to the village again to clear up the misunderstanding. The Oktoberfest venue, which was supposed to be lively because of the finishing work, was thrown into chaos due to the village chief's ordering error, and the required beer was not ready.Cai Longzhu came up with a solution, immediately obtained approval from the headquarters and rushed to the village with sponsored beer.However, a sudden traffic accident blocked the road. What was worse was that all the beer was unusable due to accidental spillage, which made Cai Longzhu feel desperate.At this moment, Cai Longzhu remembered the president of the Wholesale Association (played by Li Dehua) who promised her to "contact her anytime if she has any difficulties." After a phone call, the president rushed over to help transport the beer back to the village.

However, Cai Longzhu felt disappointed again because she witnessed Yin Minzhu shaken by Bang Yarem's words.Fang Yalin said that after saving the Busan branch, Chae Yongzhu would ignore others.Cai Longzhu originally thought that Lord Yin Min would understand her sincerity... However, Cai Longzhu was still determined to convey her sincerity to the end. She told the other party that she wanted to always develop beer with him.Cai Longzhu's sincerity touched Yin Minzhu's heart, and Yin Minzhu finally announced that he was willing to sign a contract with her.Then he looked into the other person's eyes and said, "I have never misunderstood you, and I have always looked at you seriously."Yin Minzhu's words foreshadow the progress of the relationship between the two.

On the day of signing the contract, Cai Yongzhu's encouraging text message gave Yin Minzhu the strength to successfully enter the Jishang Liquor headquarters.Waiting for him is not only Cai Yongzhu, but also the new product development TF team composed of Bang Yalin, Jiang Beom (played by Liu Wonwoo), Shen Luowu (played by Ha Minhyuk) and other members.Even Wu Zanhui (played by Baek Sung-cheol), a part-time student required by Yin Minzhu as a condition of the contract, also joined, marking the official establishment of the TF team.

On the way home after the first dinner party, Yin Minzhu noticed Jiang Fan's affection for Cai Longzhu. He tried to ignore his emotions as always, but when the sudden heavy rain brought Cai Longzhu closer, he couldn't help but his heartbeat accelerated.You can't pretend not to care.Lord Yoon Min begins to have doubts about his own heartbeat, which makes the subsequent plot even more exciting.

Episode 4

Cai Longzhu began to observe Yin Minzhu's every move in order to collect intelligence.The sensitive and thoughtful Yin Minzhu was as expected. She also discovered that Yin Minzhu had prepared a comfortable rest space for the villagers working in the hop fields. His delicate thoughts touched Cai Longzhu's heart.Yin Minzhu remembered what Cai Longzhu said casually, prepared the necessary items, and even helped her tie up her cream-covered hair.His unconscious thoughtfulness and care made Cai Longzhu, the "bulldozer" who was always not easily tempted, very moved. 

However, as they gradually get closer, Yin Minzhu will suddenly take a step back and set up a barrier: "Miss Cai Longzhu, always looking at me makes me uncomfortable."Although he would be disappointed, Cai Longzhu did not back down.In order to see Master Yin Min, Cai Longzhu chose to drink the remaining beer in the bar, which scared the manager (played by Jang Hyuk-jin) and hurriedly found Master Yin Min.In this way, Lord Yin Min appeared in front of Cai Longzhu again.Cai Yongzhu asked him why he hated seeing her so much, and Yin Minzhu finally confessed his feelings.Unfortunately, Cai Longzhu, who was very drunk, fell asleep before hearing the complete answer.Lord Yin Min had no choice but to put Cai Longzhu on the motorcycle and take her back to the village.

The village is in full swing preparing for the Oktoberfest.Cai Longzhu was refreshed after a short nap and helped prepare for the celebration everywhere.The villagers were gradually attracted by the charm of the almighty Cai Longzhu.Under the plan of Shuzi (played by Baek Hyun-joo) and Young-ja (played by Park Ji-ah), Yin Minzhu and Cai Yongzhu went to the back mountain one after another and unexpectedly spent a night in the mountain.Cai Longzhu asked Yin Minzhu again why he always refused to get close to her. Yin Minzhu said frankly: "I have never been angry with Miss Cai Longzhu, but seeing you reminds me of my past self.” and revealed the past of being exploited since childhood due to conflicts with his father and the inability to ignore the dissatisfaction of others, and apologized to Cai Longzhu.Cai Longzhu listened quietly and comforted warmly: "That's not strange, but kind.Knowing that you will suffer losses but still willing to pay is not something that everyone can do."

On the other hand, Bang Ah-reum (played by Shin Do-hyun) made up her mind to come to the countryside, intending to attract the villagers by signing contracts with them to mass-produce "In My Name" beer, promising huge profits, and claiming that Cai Yong-joo onlyI want to take Lord Yoon Min to Seoul.The villagers mistakenly thought that Yin Min had been snatched away, and they could not hide their disappointment.After Cai Longzhu returned to the village, she was surprised by the cold attitude of the villagers. Before she could figure out the reason, the villagers sprinkled a handful of salt on her, which confused her.At this moment, Yin Minzhu walked through the crowd and stood next to Cai Longzhu, looking at her with worried eyes.

Episode 5

《Drunken romance》Continue to broadcast, Yoon Min-joo (played by Lee Jong-won) gradually realizes that he has feelings for Chae Yong-joo (played by Kim Se-jung). He will be worried about the small wounds on Chae Yong-joo's hands, and his heart will beat faster because of her smile.After gradually confirming that this confusing emotion was his true feelings, his reaction made the audience feel even more heartbroken.

Yin Minzhu once tried to deny his feelings, feeling that it was impossible for him to like Cai Longzhu, and deliberately ignored the throbbing heartbeat in the rain.At the same time, the first meeting of the TF team was full of disharmony, contrary to the enthusiasm.Facing unsatisfactory team members, Cai Longzhu felt disappointed. Yin Minzhu comforted her and said, "There is no need to pretend to be strong."However, when Chae Yong-joo learned that Yoon Min-joo always absorbed other people's emotions and tried to comfort others, but exhausted her own energy, she coldly said to him, "If we met because of work, then just focus on work."” and deliberately kept a distance from him.Although Yin Minzhu understood her feelings, he could not erase the loss in his heart.And Cai Longzhu could not ignore his concern for Lord Yin Min.

Yin Minzhu's frustration was quickly noticed by the villagers.Under the villagers' "battle plan", Cai Longzhu and Yin Minzhu were able to get along alone.The two talked about their respective moods: Cai Yongzhu admitted that he did not want others to find out his sadness, while Yin Minzhu said that he liked spending time alone drinking beer.These exchanges brought the relationship between the two closer, and the previous sense of loss melted like ice.During the conversation with Cai Yongzhu, Yin Minzhu found that he could not help but smile. Although this feeling was unfamiliar to him, it was not annoying.

The TF team conducted a two-day and one-night seminar for the launch of the new product.Throughout the seminar, Yin Minzhu focused on Chae Yongzhu on the pretext of confirming the cause of his accelerated heartbeat.After visiting the brewery, Cai Longzhu, who came to the streets of Busan after a long absence, witnessed a competing company secretly stealing beer while she was away.For the first time since its establishment, the TF team worked together to catch the thieves.Although the problem was solved successfully, Cai Longzhu fell into deep thinking when he saw the scene where the situation became precarious after he left.

While Cai Longzhu was gathering her thoughts alone, Yin Minzhu suddenly approached. The other party tried to treat the small wound on her hand, but Cai Longzhu dismissed him lightly.But Yin Minzhu said frankly: "In my eyes, the first thing I see is these injuries that I don't know when, so I hope you don't get hurt.I feel very sad myself."Cai Longzhu felt puzzled when he heard that the other party was more worried about him than himself, and asked why he was in a bad mood. The smiles that Cai Longzhu had shown so far emerged in Yin Minzhu's mind.Thinking of her, the heartbeat became more and more uncontrollable. Even if there were only two of them together at the moment, the heart was still beating violently.In the end, Yin Minzhu confirmed the source of the throbbing and firmly told himself: "It's my feelings, yes, this is my heart.” This scene made the audience’s hearts throb.

Yoon Min-ju, who gradually opens up to Chae Yong-joo, learns that she was the benefactor who saved his life 6 years ago.After Yin Minzhu realized his feelings for Cai Yongzhu, he chose not to hide his feelings and express them directly. This proactive attitude made the audience feel heart-warming.The special fate revealed between the two also ushered in a new situation in their relationship, making people full of expectations for the next development.

Episode 6

After the seminar, Yin Minzhu returned to the village and found that what was waiting for him was a mountain of wholesaler business cards.Since the Oktoberfest, word of mouth has spread rapidly, and many orders have come to "In My Name".Although he was worried about whether he could meet the production volume while developing new products, he had no doubts about Cai Longzhu's commitment to smoothly producing beer.

However, the intervention of the competing company Baimu led to the headquarters ordering to shorten the launch cycle of the TF team's new products from 6 months to 3 months.Cai Yongzhu wanted to fulfill her promise to Yin Minzhu, so she strongly opposed it, but the vice president's statement that launching new products within three months could revitalize the Busan branch faster put her in a dilemma because she knew that her colleagues in Busan were anxiousWaiting for her decision.

Yin Minzhu and the villagers, who learned the news through Oh Chan-hui (played by Baek Sung-cheol), were equally uneasy.Cai Longzhu couldn't contact Yin Minzhu, so he had to come to the village in person to express his inability to fulfill his promise and apologize to him, but Yin Minzhu just sent her away coldly.Although he was angry at Cai Yongzhu for breaking his promise, he could also feel the pain in her heart, which made Yin Minzhu's mood even more complicated.

After returning home, Cai Longzhu began to suspect that there was a mole within the TF team.When she saw Bang Yalin (played by Shin Do-hyun) going to the vice president's office the next day, she immediately stopped her and met with the vice president directly.Cai Longzhu warned the vice president not to take advantage of her team members again, and then left the office to talk to Fang Yalin alone.

At this time, Yin Minzhu and the villagers in Baiguli were engaged in a fierce "battle" with the production volume of beer.As the villagers collapsed from exhaustion, Yin Minzhu fought alone. Just when he felt a dilemma, Cai Longzhu appeared, led the entire TF team to the brewery, and appeased the wholesalers, promising to solve the agreed supply tomorrowHe measured it and persuaded everyone to go back.

After finishing the heavy work, Yin Minzhu invited Cai Longzhu to his space on the second floor. This private area that had never been allowed to others made Cai Longzhu feel nervous.There was a subtle embarrassment in the air, and Chae Yong-joo tried to lighten the mood by mentioning that she wanted a photo of herself taken by Yoon Min-joo.However, Yoon Min-ju's subsequent response contained a mischievous confession: "I'm sorry, I don't suppress things I'm sure of.Because I really like this photo."This sentence made Cai Longzhu freeze instantly and stay there.Faced with this slightly bold confession, Yoon Minzhu fled the scene shyly, while Cai Yongzhu, who couldn't hide his smile, made the audience's hearts flutter.

At the same time, Yin Minzhu learned an unexpected news. His father invited a benefactor who saved his life 6 years ago to visit his home.Yin Minzhu was excited to see his savior.However, when the benefactor showed up, the person who walked into the house turned out to be Cai Longzhu!Both of them showed shocked expressions when they saw each other.Yin Minzhu took a step closer to Cai Longzhu in disbelief, and Cai Longzhu was also in disbelief.This fateful revelation makes the audience even more excited about how this special fate will affect the relationship between the two.

Cai Longzhu then went to Baiguli.Due to the landslide caused by heavy rain last night, the alarm for help came from the back mountain, and the village was in a panic.Cai Longzhu, who was worried about Yin Minzhu who had lost contact with him, rushed to the back mountain regardless of dissuasion.Yoon Min-joo apologized to Chae Yong-joo who came to her because of worries, saying that he needed time to think about the way to get to her.Cai Longzhu said frankly that when faced with Yin Minzhu's concern - are you okay -, he expressed his inner thoughts for the first time.Master Yin Min hugged Cai Longzhu into his arms.

Chae Yong-joo and Yoon Min-joo hurried to Seoul after learning about the death of Shim Ra-oh (played by Ha Min-hyuk)'s father.Looking at Cai Longzhu who was skillfully arranging everything, Yin Minzhu asked with concern: "Are you okay? Are you so skillful in advising others because you have experienced this? You must have suffered a lot by yourself."” His words gently soothed Cai Longzhu, who might be a little tired.

After leaving the hospital, Lord Yin Min sent Cai Longzhu home and entered Cai Longzhu's home at the invitation of her grandmother.The two prepared dinner together, watched TV, and spent an ordinary and warm day.After Cai Longzhu fell asleep, Yin Minzhu accidentally learned the secret she had hidden for six years.Six years ago, Cai Longzhu failed to receive a call from his grandmother in order to save Master Yin Min.

The TF team was exhausted from repeated meetings. At this moment, Cai Longzhu suddenly had an idea.She came up with an idea that perfectly fits the "era of respecting personal preferences" - the "tippy beer" concept, which launches beers with different alcohol concentrations at the same time, allowing consumers to choose according to their own preferences.After this concept was confirmed, Cai Longzhu's mood became much more relaxed.However, she encounters an unexpected guest at the winery - Lin Zhuxi (played by Pyo Ye-jin) who claims to be the marketing manager of Baimu Liquor.Im Joo Hee greeted Yoon Min Joo: "Long time no see, ex-boyfriend.” Then he told the interesting story from the nickname of the couple to the love story in high school, which instantly triggered Cai Longzhu’s jealousy switch.
