Original season The plot is set in the present time. Elisabeth "Lisa" Plenske (
Alexandra Neldel), a kind, intelligent, but naive and not necessarily beautiful young woman, grows up in the (fictional) village Göberitz, near Berlin, with her parents Bernd (
Volker Herold) and Helga (
Ulrike Mai). Lisa moves to Berlin and tries to get a job at Kerima Moda, a fashion company. There, she bumps into the junior chairman David Seidel (
Mathis Künzler) and falls in love with him. She starts off catering at Kerima Moda, but manages to get promoted to personal assistant of Seidel. She works with him, however he does not really notice her qualities (much less herself as a woman), because he is engaged to Mariella von Brahmberg (
Bianca Hein) and is also involved with various other women. During the course of the series, Lisa manages to save and finally own Kerima Moda, rescues her boss David from death and the wrath of his then-fiancée, watches him break off his engagement to Mariella, protects the company from David's maleficent rival and stepbrother and Mariella's brother Richard von Brahmberg (
Karim Köster) and his mother Sophie von Brahmberg (
Gabrielle Scharnitzky), endures the antics of the secretary Sabrina (
Nina Gnädig), falls in love with and gets engaged to Robert "Rokko" Kowalski (
Manuel Cortez), while bearing the quirks of the chief designer Hugo Haas (
Hubertus Regout) and helping his assistant Hannah Refrath (
Laura Osswald), David's sister Kim (
Lara-Isabelle Rentinck) and the runner boy Timo (
Matthias Dietrich) with their love lives. She is aided by her best friend Jürgen Decker (
Oliver Bokern) and the cook Agnes Hetzer (
Susanne Szell). In the end, she calls off the wedding to Rokko, marries David instead and sails with him on his boat to the Caribbean.
Second season Season two centers around sympathetic conman Bruno Lehmann (
Tim Sander), who is Lisa's half-brother. Bruno is on the run and lands up in Berlin to see his (unassuming) father Bernd. There, he starts to save the lifework of his half-sister Lisa, and Bruno starts to realize that his charm won't get him anywhere and that sometimes you have to work for your achievements. Also, he starts to fall in love with the young (and married) designer Nora Lindberg (
Julia Malik). Because of bad ratings, Sat1 replaced Julia Malik. So Bruno is now fallen in love with Kim who is the younger sister of David Seidel and married to the evil Paolo Amendola . Since January 2007 Bruno Lehmann isn't the main character, who is in love with somebody, anymore. Instead it's the returned designer Hannah Refrath who is in love with him ... == Background ==
