SYNOPSIS:
After losing her Filipino mother in South Korea, 5-year-old Mujigae—half-Korean, half-Filipino—finds herself in the care of her estranged Aunt Sunny in the Philippines. As they navigate this unexpected journey, they confront grief, unravel cultural complexities, and discover the transformative power of family and community. Through their poignant exploration, Mujigae learns to embrace change through courage and resilience, finding her place in the world with a strong chance at life.
Their growing bond is put to the test when Mujigae’s biological father, Ji Sung Park (played by Kim Ji-soo), enters the picture, sparking a series of events that will challenge the definition of family and force Mujigae to choose between two homes.
