Ho Jung, who quit her job after getting married, wants to restart her previous work. Dae Woo avoids contact with her, however, by saying that Dae Woo is tired and believes Ho Jung is only being peevish. One day, Dae Woo argues how much a mother means to a child, exclaiming angrily, “Family members have their own roles!” Do men make money, and women stay home? Is this what this husband wants for a role?
