Synopsis

In Cheonghae Village, the lives of two single parents and their children intertwine. Lee Ji-an, a fierce and dignified construction site manager, is a devoted single mother to her daughter, Lee Hyo-ri. Her first love, Ryu Jeong-seok, is a single father and an architect who, despite his cold exterior, is defenseless against Lee Ji-an. Their children, Lee Hyo-ri and Ryu Bo-hyeon, also find themselves on a path toward each other. Lee Hyo-ri, once a promising medical student, is thrown into a world of uncertainty after a brain tumor diagnosis forces her to stray from her planned future.
