Kang Ji-yoon, the protagonist played by Han Ji-min (Behind Your Touch) in the new drama Love Scout, is one of the best headhunters in Korea.

Whether reading their stats on a résumé or sizing them up in person, she can quickly get a read on someone to know if they are the right fit for a particular job and figure out how to convince them that they are.

As perceptive as Ji-yoon is, when it comes to her immediate surroundings, she suddenly becomes myopic. She forgets her colleagues’ names, never remembers which way the door to her office opens, and keeps misplacing her shoes.
