Plot

Han Bok-soo (Kim Hye-sun) put her husband through medical school by earning a living as a fish seller but her husband does not feel grateful about it and looks down on her instead. She learns that her brother, Won-soo (Ahn Nae-sang), who is married to her best friend Na Hwa-shin (Oh Hyun-kyung), is having an affair with another woman but she tries to cover it up. When she learns that her husband, Ki-jeok (Oh Dae-gyu) is having an affair with a former girlfriend, she finally empathizes with her friend's plight.
