< Synopsis >

 

A year ago, father of Joo-hui(Yeong-ja‘s husband) passed away after diagnosed as a lung cancer.

His death had affected the family severely, and moreover there was no insurance guaranteed.

Going through several surgeries, Joo-hui and her family reduced to poverty. Also they suffer from a great sense of

loss after his death. Joo-hui makes a plan to get an insurance manipulating Yeong-ja. Yeong-ja feels guilty about lying,

but Joo-hui strongly insists that they should get the money so that they could pay the debts. Eventually,

they sign up for an insurance policy by contacting Seok-jin(Joo-hui‘s college friend), the financial consultant.

Seok-jin shows a peculiar affection to Yeong-ja because he lost his mom few years ago. Joo-hui and Yeong-ja pretend

they have a 'dementia', and finally Yeong-ja is identified as an alzheimer's disease. Seok-jin heads to a cafe where they

first met in order to give a payment.
