In the drama series 'Love Scout', Han Ji-Min and Lee Joon-Hyuk are on a quest to find the perfect match.
In the rom-com series titled Love Scout, Han Ji-min portrays Kang Ji-yoon, a highly skilled headhunter with a workaholic attitude. She possesses an uncanny ability to predict employee dissatisfaction and propose better job opportunities to enhance their work lives. Her unconventional suggestions often yield successful results. Despite her talents, she struggles to find the ideal personal assistant, having gone through numerous assistants while serving as the CEO of Peoplez, a headhunting firm.
She tends to prioritize clients over her employees, often recalling their details but forgetting the names of her own staff.
She crosses paths with Yoo Eun-ho, portrayed by Lee Joon-hyuk, while attempting to lure a valuable employee from Hansu Electronics. Eun-ho is assigned the task of keeping that employee from leaving Hansu, no matter how appealing a job offer Ji-yoon provides. Eun-ho's professionalism and patience are put to the test by a boss who clearly dislikes him. His job security is crucial as he supports his child singlehandedly.
Two devoted individuals with no time for romance find themselves attracted to each other. Ji-yoon initially dislikes Eun-ho for hindering her employee recruitment plans. She is accused of acting unethically by Eun-ho. The unethical headhunter, however, is Kim Hye-jin, portrayed by Park Bo-kyung.
Headhunters sometimes view talented employees as a potential source of lucrative commissions, disregarding their human aspect. Eun-ho's employment as Ji-yoon's personal assistant might help her reevaluate her priorities.
