Plot
Cha Yoon-hee is a successful TV drama producer/director who marries an orphaned surgeon and thereby acquires the supposed, ultimate career woman's dream―accomplished husband minus the in-laws. Her marital bliss is shattered when her husband finds his birth parents and they happen to be her next-door neighbours with whom she bickers on a daily basis, and feature not one, but three sisters-in-law, and the usual array of aunts and grandmothers-in-law. Yoon-hee realises she has married more than she has bargained for. Once again, the stage is set for a butting of the heads between daughter and mother-in-law.Cast
