Plot

The story follows Ki-Seok (Kim Min-Jun), an unemployed man who is approached by a woman named Jung-Eun (Kwak Ji-Min). Jung-Eun confronts him regarding a past sham marriage involving her twin sister, So-Eun (also played by Kwak Ji-Min). Although Ki-Seok initially denies involvement, he eventually recalls participating in a fraudulent marriage arrangement years prior.

To protect her sister from legal repercussions, Jung-Eun convinces Ki-Seok to help her prove the legitimacy of the marriage to authorities. The two agree to pose as a married couple, with Jung-Eun impersonating her twin. As they struggle to provide convincing evidence of their union, they resort to increasingly desperate measures, leading to a series of comedic complications.
