Story

Na Rim (Lee Young Yoo) lives a happy life with a happy family until all of her family dies in a car accident that cost her her memory (and, for a while, her speech...and happiness). So her only remaining relative, an uncle who wasn't with the family at the time of the accident, assigns a former gangster, Dal Gun (Kim Myung Min), to organize a fake "family" for her: Hang Gu (Im Hyun Sik) as her surrogate "grandfather," Bok Nyu (Yeo Woon Kye) as her "grandmother," Gi Dong (Kang Nam Gil) as her "father," Ji Sook (Geum Bo Ra) as her "mother," Gong Min (Kim Hee Chul) as her "brother," and Dal Gun as her uncle. The final addition to the "Baek family" is her "sister" Yang Ah (Nam Sang Mi) who is the only one who isn't afraid to stand up to the gangster Dal Gun. However, it's not only Na Rim who is the "family"'s problem. As they live their individual lives, they discover that they have problems of their own and would have to choose whether to stand and be a family to Na Rim or to leave her alone. In the end, they learn to accept each other (especially Bok Nyu and her "daughter-in-law" Ji Sook who used to be enemies in the market) for the sake of Na Rim, now that Hang Gu gets cancer, Gi Dong's own children chose their stepfather over him, Gong Min's foster grandfather comes to get him back, Na Rim's last remaining relative goes missing, and Yang Ah and Dal Gun, who are niece and uncle, fall in love with each other.
