Synopsis

“A story about a love that is shared between two people after heartache and hardships ravage them as a result of one decision to choose a loveless marriage”

A marriage between two passionate people is still ridden with the threat of a failed marriage like a loveless marriage. As two people struggle to save a marriage from careening off course, this story will show how two people build a strong loving family.

The main character is forced into a desperate situation where she chooses a loveless marriage.

It is a decision she cannot undo so she tries her best to make the marriage work but relationships are not easy to solve. She regrets her decision every day of her life and despairs at the unfairness of the institution of marriage that is tilted in the favor of men. However, that does not mean a marriage equates to misery. Marriage is an institution that makes a woman more mature as a person and allows her to reinvent herself.

Even caterpillars must go through a difficult metamorphosis to become a butterfly. There are no completely satisfied partners in a marriage. The path that was not taken will always be considered as a golden opportunity that was foolishly passed up. Thus, people naturally regret the decisions they make in life...

Marriage is a ritual of adulthood. Whatever choice you make, marriage will bring two people together into holy matrimony and challenge them along the way. Thus, this drama not only illustrates the love between a man and a woman but also goes beyond that by depicting a love where both partners find the strength to forgive each other and compromise on issues for the good of the marriage. It will make you realize that sometimes, you need to free yourself of all your desires and clear your head to see the big picture lying before you.

Hyo-eun chooses a loveless marriage but she tries to make the marriage work as best as she can. Born from a lowly status, Myung-ji succeeded beyond her wildest dreams and is bent on conquering love. Jung-hee, Hyo-eun’s mother, is satisfied with being close to the man she loves even though she will never be able to become his legal wife. Eun-shim (Myung-ji’s mother) believes that a happy life is a marriage that stays intact even under difficult circumstances. Let’s follow the glowing firefly to seek happiness by learning the life lessons from these four women,
