When two individuals who have previously gone through divorce unite in marriage and raise their children together, they often choose names for their kids that reflect the ideal phase of life, known as hwang-geum-ki, with the hope that their offspring will experience this joyful time earlier than they did. Unbeknownst to them, their children will face various challenges before achieving hwang-geum-ki. Lee Hwang, the eldest daughter, has been married for five years and has a daughter, along with a thriving career, yet beneath the surface, she is far from content. A chance encounter with an old lover leads her down a reckless path. The second daughter, Lee Geum, suffers from chronic myelogenous leukemia, a serious illness that persistently impacts her quality of life and happiness. Nevertheless, she remains bright and optimistic, dedicating her energy to her role as a track team coach, all while secretly working to cover her biological father's medical expenses. The youngest child, Lee Ki, has successfully completed medical school and is now an intern at a hospital, yet his true aspiration is to become a musical theater performer. He decides to leave the hospital to pursue dance lessons, needing to keep this decision hidden from his family as he navigates his sisters' challenges. Enter Go Kyung Woo, a television producer at a prominent network whose success has led him to become dismissively indifferent to the struggles of others. When he crosses paths with Lee Geum, there is undeniable chemistry, but will he be able to genuinely care for her, especially given her health condition? Meanwhile, Lee Ki faces another dilemma—he may be falling for his sister-in-law...
