One day, he hears news that will change his life. He decides to go look for his real father. He happens to have Jo Jae Mi accompany him on his journey.
Jo Jae Mi always wanted to have a family. She is going to marry Eo Heung, who is the successor in the Eo Family. The Eo family, including their mother Beom Ho Ja, run a food company.
