Country life is supposed to be idyllic, isn’t it? A peaceful place full of amiable neighbors with big hearts, right? That’s what Ji-Woo is looking forward to… But out of all the next-door neighbors to have, he gets Dong-Chan. Curt, stand-offish, and inscrutable, Dong-Chan isn’t the most welcoming of folks. In fact, he looks like he doesn’t want Ji-Woo and his family here at all. Bemused but not daunted, Ji-Woo tries his best to adjust to life in the country…until it turns out that someone is trying to chase his family away from here. Jiwoo has his suspicions, but will he be able to find the real culprit?
