Plot

Yoon Bok-hee has accomplished a lot in her life, working her way up from running a money-lending market stand to managing millions. But her priorities shift when she's faced with a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer's. Her degenerative disease threatens her ability to manage her business and eventually the details of her daily life.

After receiving her diagnosis, she realizes that her most important goal is helping her children to grow up in a hurry. She must teach them how to run the family business and they must also learn how to care for her when she can no longer care for herself. It won't be easy as they still have a lot of growing up to do.[3]

Cast

A self-made woman who went from working a tiny market stand to becoming a successful loan shark who owns multi-million-won buildings. She is diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease.
Bok-hee's eldest daughter, and a designer. Bratty and spoiled, Young-chae has a short temper and a quick tongue. But she'll eventually mature and become a warm, optimistic young woman with lots of affection. She meets Hoon-nam when she starts a new job, and they'll have a contentious workplace romance.
Hoon-nam (which in Korean literally means "nice guy") is the second son of a family that's owned a clothing material factory for three generations. He lost his parents at a young age, and grew up taking care of his hearing-impaired older brother. He's strict and professional at work, with a strong sense of responsibility. He starts out trying to get Young-chae to stop being a gold-digging princess, and eventually falls in love with her.
  • Lee Min-woo as Lee Jang-ho
Young-chae's sweet, sincere, but clumsy best friend. Da-jung is a doormat type who is disregarded by her husband and constantly taken advantage of by others, but is lovable and childlike in her innocence and incites protective instincts.
