Song Soo-jung is a producer whose specialty is human interest stories. She dreams of one day becoming KoreaÂ’s own Oprah Winfrey. However, she is reaching the end of whatÂ’s left of her pride. After months of not getting paid, she leaves her office with the company camera to produce a story on a lion refusing to eat its meal. On her way, however, she comes across a robber, but she is saved by Â“SupermanÂ” in a Hawaiian shirt. This Â“SupermanÂ” tells her the unfortunate circumstance he has been put in by his enemies, and how it limits his powers. Soo-jung sees this as a good opportunity for another one of her pieces, and films a documentary with some fabrications, but later learns whatÂ’s truly important in life
