Plot

The story follows Na Young-Won (Jung So-Min), an editor at Monthly House magazine. Despite working in the industry for a decade, she does not own her own home and resides in a monthly rental. Her perspective on housing shifts when she encounters the new owner of her rental property, Yoo Ja-Sung (Kim Ji-Suk).

Yoo Ja-Sung is the CEO of Monthly House. Having grown up in poverty, he views real estate primarily as a tool for wealth accumulation and investment. His background as a former construction laborer informs his self-taught approach to property investment, which has made him a wealthy expert in the field. The series explores the contrasting values of the two protagonists regarding the meaning of home.
