Plot

Min-A (Lim Soo-jung) is a reserved high school student living with her mother, Mi-Sook (Lee Mi-sook), who often exhibits a childlike personality. Min-A finds little joy in her school life and spends much of her time observing a local man named Ki-Soo, who manages traffic near her school. Her life changes when a college student named Young-Jae (Kim Rae-won) moves into the villa located on the floor below her home. Young-Jae attempts to be friendly with his new neighbors, leading Min-A's mother to mistakenly believe that he is interested in her daughter. Young-Jae plays along with the misunderstanding, eventually drawing Min-A into his social circle.
