Plot Synopsis
Seo Ji-Hwan (Um Tae-Goo) is a former gangster who has turned his life around and is now the CEO of a company. Dedicated to helping others leave the gangster lifestyle, he hires ex-gang members to work for his company, aiming to rehabilitate them and provide a new path.
Go Eun-Ha (Han Sun-Hwa) runs a children's YouTube channel under the name Mini Sister, where she spreads messages of love and happiness. Her inspiration comes from a childhood memory of a boy in her neighborhood who was her only friend. Despite her efforts, her channel isn't very successful.
