? With a husband and children, she’s been both an excellent wife and a good daughter-in-law.
But little by little she’s becoming a ‘bad girl’.Finally, a secret love affair

hospital bill, but he also must take care of his troublemaking brother. He works
hard to put aside money for his tuition, but again, he spends all his savings
taking care of his family. He’s taking time off from school where he’s been a

any future, and just like that, she’s gone. He’s 27 years old. He’s young and
has his whole life in front of him. He decides to become successful to prove to
her that she had been wrong. He works harder, but he’s afraid that she might be
right after all. The problem is that nothing seems to be working in his life.

He meets a woman. Having absolutely nothing to lose, he makes a bet with his friend.
He’s not going to sit around and wait until he dies. He doesn’t want to sacrifice
himself for other people anymore. He decides to live his own life and enjoy it
until the last moment. He thus starts a very dangerous game!A Human Drama that
Reflects Many Facets of Life TV dramas generally focus on the love lives of their
characters, but real life isn’t always just about love. In real life, making a
living is often more important than having that perfect lover, and problems with
one’s mother-in-law can lead to tremendous headaches. December Fever tries to
overcome the obvious limits of unrealistic and monotonous soap operas while at
the same time showing various aspects of life through interesting and unique characters.
It introduces us to people with double standards and other falsehoods, as well
as people who sacrifice themselves for family. In addition, it’s a story of a
father and his dying son as well as a tale about the conflicts between and their
mothers-in-law. It holds a mirror to everyday life with comic and interesting
characters.
