Min-Ki is a banker who got laid off after six years of work. Although he’s under constant sense of uneasiness, Min-Ki enjoys his new leisurely life without work stress, thanks to the successful career of his wife Bo-Ra. Taking care of their daughter, doing the house chores, and spending quiet time reading at the park, these are all blessings for him. In the meantime, Bo-Ra is having an adulterous relationship with her college sweetheart Il-Beom, whom she separated with when he left for the military service. Although she values the importance of keeping the family together, she’s fascinated with Il-Beom’s conspicuous love toward her as well as certain happiness she receives from the reminiscence of her youth. Pretty soon, Min-Ki discovers their intimate relationship, and this brings about interpersonal tension among the three. All three dream their own version of the happy end, resulting in an unexpected outcome.
