Plot

Kim Min-ho is the son of a rich business tycoon, but works as a bartender. Because he is illegitimate, he feels estranged from his family, and has a strained relationship with his father, his older brother Min-jae, and especially his mother. Min-ho has been secretly in love for a long time with Chung Soo-hee, an artist who is also the girlfriend of his best friend, Yoo Ji-an. Soo-hee despises her mother for her constantly changing partners, and thus is determined to be faithful to Ji-an, despite her growing attraction to Min-ho. Ji-an works as a secretary for Min-ho's father and his lies hide painful family secrets. Cheerful, seemingly frivolous Choi Mi-ri is a restaurant owner who is living with third-rate gangster Kang Ho-chul. Despite their love for each other, Mi-ri agonizes over Ho-chul's refusal to marry her and her family's disapproval. Oh Young-sook, who calls herself "crazy," is a flamboyant and eccentric divorcee who recently moved next door to Mi-ri and Ho-chul's apartment. All these people are linked together by an old woman named Mi-young, the mysterious owner of an eatery in the neighborhood, who hasn't spoken a single word in decades.
