Tired of the relentless competition and hollow relationships in Seoul, Hye-won (played by Kim Tae-ri) makes the difficult decision to return to her rural hometown. Struggling with feelings of failure and uncertainty about her future, she begins living in her late mother’s old house.
As the seasons change, she reconnects with her childhood friends, rediscovers the joy of cooking with her own hands, and learns that sometimes, the path to finding oneself is not about moving forward, but about coming home.
