Overview
Cho Young-ran is in a loveless marriage due to her aloof and insensitive husband. Her shopaholic older sister desires a glamorous life, but her poor economic situation leads her to frequently quarrel with her husband. Young-ran’s younger sister has a well-paying job, but is married to a mama’s boy. This is a story about these three sisters and their topsy-turvy lives! Young-ran is a pretty housewife with a sweet personality. She married her husband after just dating him for a week. But her husband lacks the warmth that she craves for in a loving marriage. Whenever her husband comes back from work, all he manages to ask is “What’s for dinner?”. Later on, she is shocked to find out that her husband is having an affair with his former girlfriend. One day, her husband’s mistress suddenly goes missing… Suspicions regarding the woman’s disappearance begin to arise...
