"Cheap Cheonlima Mart" narrates the experiences of workers at a struggling store where the employees take precedence over the customers. As the manager endeavors to breathe new life into the mart, they face opposition from the "human bulldozer" boss who seeks to sabotage the establishment. Moon Seok Gu, a somewhat naive shopkeeper, aspires to elevate Cheonlima Mart to the top of the retail sector. Despite his apparent lack of sharpness, he harbors ambitions of securing a position at the Daemae Group headquarters by revitalizing the mart. Jung Bok Dong, a brilliant manager, plots revenge against Daema Group by undermining Cheonlima Mart. Previously a board director at Daema Group, he was held in high regard by the CEO for his keen insights and meticulous nature, but he was abruptly demoted to oversee Cheonlima Mart. He aims to bring the store down by employing individuals who have faced significant failures in life and are deemed unlikely to be hired elsewhere. (Soompi)

Maintaining a clear distinction between right and wrong, with a strong emphasis on discipline, is crucial for a police officer.

This collaboration will not only involve love, hate, and tension, but it will also push past traditional boundaries to solve cold cases and capture criminals, creating a unique battleground. Through sacrifice, determination, and the complexities of human nature, these passionate individuals from both sides of the law will showcase the best and worst of humanity, unfolding one captivating story after another.
