This is a story of a humorous but awkward episode in the life of Young-seon, who is chubby in her late twenties. She is getting lost her interest in a marriage but her mother gives pressure to her to meet a man. She has a blind date with a man and stays with him one night.
Matchmaking for marriage is a niche market in the wedding industry. It is curious that Young-seon can control her reactions and show either cheerful attitude or extreme sadness in the uncomfortable situation of meeting a man, not by her own will but by unbearable social pressures and parental expectation.
