The plot revolves around two sisters who develop feelings for the same man. The elder sister is intelligent and confident, while the younger, who looks up to her, is more reserved and enjoys music. However, the elder sister harbours resentment against her younger sister, partly because she is aware of the latter’s being adopted. As the story goes on, a complicated love triangle with twists and turns starts to develop when the elder sister falls in love with a man, who subsequently falls in love with the compassionate younger sister.
