Our society seems to be suffering from collective depression or in a group trance.
Everyone is just running, without knowing why or to where, because we were taught that falling behind is a terrible fate.
We are enjoying unprecedented materialistic abundance, but we seem to be more miserable than ever before.
Suicide rate soars, people are judged by their looks or school background, and materialism is overwhelmingly widespread. The gap between the rich and the poor is at its widest yet. Everyone seems unhappy regardless of how much or how little one has.
Why have we become like this? For what have we been running so hard for so long?
This drama plans to deliver a message of comfort, hope, and healing to our exhausted society. Happiness is not found in possessions or outward qualifications. Happiness cannot be found by having more stuff or climbing higher on the corporate ladder.
What really makes us happy is simple yet heartfelt love from those around us. If only there are more people who can share such love, we would not have to run so hard anymore.
This drama is about a mother and her youngest daughter searching for happiness after the death of her husband, which plunges their lives into turmoil.
Thorough many trials and tribulations they find the real meaning of family, love, success, happiness, and life.
They come to realize that the real precious thing in life can be found within oneself and happiness is a blessing that comes to the courageous few who have high self-esteem and take charge of their own lives.
Being poor is okay, not being first is okay, and not being in the spotlight is okay.
It’s okay to be happy with just the way you are.
This drama hopes to give genuine comfort to those scarred by life and make us look back on our lives and deep into our souls.
Where are we headed? What do our souls really want?
