Sung Ho isn't exactly the kind of person you'd expect to settle down for a quiet life in the Korean countryside. A young man in his twenties who spent his entire career serving in the military, Sung Ho is also a single father to a baby girl his ex-girlfriend suddenly pawned off on him. Having grown up without a family of his own, he leaves behind his familiar military life and moves to the small village of Nuldongmae, hoping for a fresh start for himself and his daughter.

Jobless and alone, Sung Ho has barely started to settle in when he finds himself butting heads with Kwon Haebeom, a handsome but grumpy local who accuses him of stealing from his store. Sung Ho hopes to never run into the man again—but he's soon shocked to discover that Haebeom is more than just some random jerk. He's actually the head of the village! Can Sung Ho move past their dismal first impression and allow Haebeom into his life?
