After years of hard work to own a home, Jeom-rye follows her husband to Busan for three years before finally returning to Seoul — the city she had always dreamed of living in. But the reality is far from what she had imagined. Her in-laws' idle and careless ways stand in sharp contrast to her own drive and discipline, and the clashes begin almost immediately. Determined to change the household, Jeom-rye sets about reforming her in-laws through patience, persuasion, and leading by example. After many twists and turns, her persistence pays off, and the family finds its way to a brighter, more harmonious life together.
Based on a popular TBC radio drama, the film won the Grand Bell Award for Best Healthy Film and Best Screenplay. Digitized to 4K resolution in 2025 from a 35mm original negative and 17.5mm audio film, with a missing audio section supplemented by a 16mm print held by KBS.
