The first episode of "Surely Tomorrow" opens with Lee Kyeong-do, assistant manager at the Dongwoon Daily newspaper, working late on a report exposing businessman Cho Jin-eon's extramarital affair with actress Ahn Da-hye.
The article also reveals Da-hye's alleged drug use and mentions Jin-eon's wife, Seo Ji-woo, heiress to the JARIM clothing brand.

The next morning, as media outlets nationwide report on the story, Kyeong-do complains to his friends, Park Se-young, Cha Woo-sik, and Lee Jeong-min, about having to write a hard news article instead of entertainment news.
His friends realize Kyeong-do is anxious because Ji-woo, his ex-girlfriend, might contact him.
At work, his boss, Jin Han-kyung, scolds him for drinking early, and his colleague Kim Du-jin teases him. Kyeong-do works late again, looking at old photos of Ji-woo, which takes us back to 2007.
A flashback shows Ji-woo visiting Kyeong-do's university. Curious, she ends up following him to the job fair. There, Ji-woo is roped into helping at Se-young's drama club registration booth.
Kyeong-do and Ji-woo argue during their first encounter. Ji-woo manages to convince Kyeong-do to sign up for the club.
Kyeong-do follows her, asking her to apologize for speaking rudely to him, but Ji-woo invites him for a drink instead.
When Kyeong-do refuses, Ji-woo mocks his low alcohol tolerance.
Offended, he accepts, and they get drunk. She unexpectedly asks him if he wants to sleep with her, which surprises him before she leaves with her driver, Mr. Kim.
A drunken Kyeong-do is taken back to his dorm by Se-young. The next day, he tells Woo-sik and Jeong-min about his interest in Ji-woo.
At the university, Ji-woo pulls him out of class to hang out, teasing him again and asking him to drink with her later. Distracted all day, Kyeong-do goes to the drama club to be with his friends.
That night, Ji-woo receives a call from her mother, who criticizes her for returning from New York. Upset, she sits outside listening to music until Kyeong-do finds her.
They talk, take the bus together, share music, and start dating after she asks for his number. Back in the present, Se-young calls to check on Kyeong-do. She informs him that Ji-woo wants to talk to him, but he refuses and turns off his phone.
The next day, Du-jin bothers him again, and Kyeong-do receives a poetic text message from Ji-woo, immediately recognizing her style.
Another flashback shows them at a poetry recital. Ji-woo is bored at the event, but notices how much Kyeong-do enjoys the activity.
On the subway, Ji-woo asks Kyeong-do to recite his favorite poem, which moves her to tears. In the present, Kyeong-do leaves work late and runs into Ji-woo, who is waiting for him. They sit at a restaurant and discuss their lives.
Ji-woo compares herself to a character from the play Waiting for Godot, calling Kyeong-do "Godot" and claiming she waited for him endlessly. When he asks why she's bringing up their past, she calls him a coward.
A flashback shows Ji-woo meeting Kyeong-do's drama club friends. She leaves abruptly after a call from home, where her mother scolds her for refusing to return to the States and mentions her mental health, which upsets her.
Ji-woo takes a taxi to meet Kyeong-do, crying in his arms as he comforts her. She confesses her feelings to him, and he admits that she inspired him to join the drama club, which leads to their first kiss. In the present, Ji-woo tells Kyeong-do that she is moving to the UK and thanks him for freeing her from her marriage.
She reveals that Jin-eon blamed his depression and anxiety for the failure of their marriage. Furious, Kyeong-do listens as she asks him to write about her divorce, offering him an exclusive story. Heartbroken, he tells Ji-woo not to contact him again and leaves.
