NAM Jung-sun is a housewife who has two daughters, Min-ju and Min-jung and a husband. Although she shouts at her drunken husband and lazy daughters, she makes soup for him, and soon tells her inner story to her daughters.
Here is a woman. She was called NAM Jung-sun before her wedding. But now, she is only someone's mom, someone's wife and 'Azumma(a name for middle-aged married woman in general in Korea)'. We'd like to show her ordinary life dryly.
