This is the first film to feature Park Bo-Gum (Reply 1988, Moonlight Drawn by Clouds, Record of Youth), who is known as the "nation's boyfriend."

Meanwhile, Kwang-sik said, "Ae-sun was my first love, and I've been by her side ever since I was 10 years old," and talked about their early days when they were so attracted to each other that they ran away together, and their lives up to their marriage and childbirth.
Ae-sun confesses that her married life was not easy, but she was able to build a life thanks to the support of her grandmother and those around her, and Gwang-sik, who decided to become a fisherman to support his wife and daughter.
Their daughter, Geum-myung, grew up receiving unconditional love from them and with her parents' hopes in her heart, she achieved Ae-sun's dream of going to college in Seoul.

There were times when I was in a bad mood, but looking back, there were many good things. So I don't have to worry. Kwang-sik is by my side as always, and my aunties are with me. I've started a family, and I'm doing better than I ever imagined.
"You will learn to love people. So don't worry. That's life," she says, talking about her own journey through life. Ae-sun was a shy girl who couldn't even sell vegetables, but now she does everything for her family.
