Therefore, Chang Wook grew up under the care and care of his mother. In his 3rd year of high school, he began to wonder how happy he was and what he really wanted to do with his life. At that time, Chang Wook became interested in acting.

His mother is sure that all her sons are endowed with great looks and all the best qualities that a man can have, so they will be a great match for any girl. However, not everyone shares her opinion: neighbors and acquaintances believe that the Son brothers are not so perfect, and that is why they still go to bachelors. Who is right and whether the long-awaited for the mother's wedding of her sons will take place - these questions were asked by more than 40% of viewers over 54 episodes.
