2. Relatable For Couples In Their 30s 

Lawyer Pan Sa-hyeon (Sung-Hoon) and radio DJ Boo Hye-ryung (Lee Ga-ryoung) are a couple in their 30s who have been married for three years. Hye-ryung wants to maintain a good work-life balance and the couple made a promise not to have any children before getting married. There’s a huge surprise in store for them though, because someone is pregnant and it’s not Hye-ryung. How will this couple approach this unexpected situation?  

Doctor Shin Yu-sin (Lee Tae-gon) and radio program director Sa Pi-young (Park Joo-mi) are a couple in their 40s and they strive for perfection in all areas of their lives.

Will their marriage remain picture perfect? 

Professor Park Hae-ryun (Jeon No-min) and radio scriptwriter Lee Si-eun (Jeon Soo-kyeong) are a couple in their 50s who are actually each other's first loves, having met in high school. Soo-kyeong is very sacrificial and spends more time taking care of her husband and kids than herself. Thanks to her hard work, Hae-ryun was able to become a respectable professor. However, Soo-kyeong feels betrayed when Hae-ryun suggests separating. Will they be able to avoid divorce? 

All of the couples appear happy at first, but each pair faces betrayal and turmoil.
