It explores the lives of the grown-up children who each have their own problems to solve, and the way they cope with their aging parents.[1]

Yoo Min-soo is the eldest son of the hospital's CEO. His wife Jang Mi-ryung bears a child out of wedlock but raises it with maternal love.[2]

Hiro, a Japanese model, confesses his love for Ji-soo, Min-soo's sister. But Ji-soo must later come to grips with the secrets behind her birth.[3]
