Summary

The first episode introduces us to the main character, who is a 32 unmarried and unemployed freelancer lady called Han Ji ah. This freeloader is obligated to take over the house chores.  On New Year’s Day, her sister along with her husband and toddler visit the family home. Seeing that her sister was home,

Han Ji thinks that she finally has the chance to rest from all the housework. Besides, she has been the only one in charge. However, everyone jumped at her for insisting that her unwell sister take over.

Thus, out of frustration, she stepped out to smoke, where she met Min Cheol. He stood next to her, eating chicken breast, while hoping Han Ji would remember who he was. She did, after he made gestures that helped her recollect their childhood school memories. Meanwhile, they spoke on their current life, where she brought up her frustration on living with her parents. Even jokingly asked if he could marry her to save her from the torture.

In conclusion, they got married.

What is going on.
