Essentially, this is a film about the relationship between a father and his eight year old son, played admirably by Woong In-Jeong, and Yoo Seung-Ho, respectively. High school student Woong In-Jeong has a brief relationship with another High school student, which results, a year later, in a baby being delivered to Woong In-Jeong's classroom. Woong is left with no choice but to get a job, to support the child. Eight years or so pass, and we return to see that Woong, although still quite immature, loves his son very much, and shares all aspects of his life with him. The problem is, Woong lacks confidence in himself, and over-compensates by being his son's best friend. This leads to the roles sometimes being reversed, with the boy being the parent. This is a tender, beautiful, laugh-out-loud drama, of a type that simply has to be categorised as "Life". There is no melodrama here; the story is conveyed through the sheer quality of the acting and backstage craft of those involved, especially Yoo Seung-Ho.
