Han Geum Ju and Seo Ui Jun are childhood friends who have been out of contact for more than a year. Now, after calling off her marriage, Han Geum Ju has returned to the village. She has even vowed to become sober.
This story is not just another childhood friend turned lovers story.
It is a fresh attempt at assessing the influence of alcohol. Han Geum Ju, her elder sister Hyeon Ju, and their father, Jeong Su, have been alcoholics for years. But their denial has only made their mother’s life more complicated. However, Han Geum Ju's decision to become sober made these other two take the vow as well.
Their chaotic vows, unfilial attempts jeopardize their mother’s face in the entire village.
Through the lens of Seo Ui Jun, the director attempts to give colour to the lives of people who have been trying to get rid of this disastrous habit. Alcohol consumption above the limit endangers the life of the drinker and also of the people they are surrounded by.
A subtle love story, which builds in as a background, gained the affection of the audience. Ui Jun’s sudden love confession made Geum Ju go awry all by herself. Her chaotic intervention all by herself made the journey funny and cute. The parallel love story between Hyeon Ju and the brother of her friend, Seon Uk is equally gripping. The hesitation yet the yearning, Hyeon Ju is feeling is the perfect graph every divorced woman faces before falling in love.
It is a fresh take on love, redemption, and life.
