Chairwoman Geum Soon finally realized her lifetime ambition of constructing an opulent hotel with a sea view, but the success is overshadowed by the fact that she is battling cancer and her grandkids are at odds over the direction of her enterprise.
A sad event in Korea’s past sparked the desire to construct the hotel there. Millions of families were uprooted and numerous family members split apart when the Korean peninsula was divided. Many families were left in the dark about the fate of their loved ones since communication between the parties was prohibited.
One of those families is represented by the talented actress Go Doo-shim in the role of Geum Soon. As they hastened to leave their hamlet, she lost sight of her husband and little boy. South Korea is where she arrived. He was abandoned in what eventually became North Korea. Geum Soon never forgot the loved ones she lost, even amassing a fortune in South Korea, being married again, and having grown grandkids. She used to look out to sea from the coast where she had her hotel built, wondering what had become of her husband and kid.
There have been a few instances where the governments of the two Koreas have permitted quick family reunions. At this reunion, Geum Soon finally gets to see her son and his son from the drama. Conflicting ideologies complicate the brief reunion, and when her son inevitably passes away, she will have no way of locating her North Korean grandchild. Ha Ji-won, Ji Seung-Hyun, and Choi Dae-hoon, who play her South Korean grandkids, each perform a distinct role in administering her financial empire today. They also have varying opinions on what should happen to the empire now that she is dying.
Geum Soon wishes she could find her missing North Korean grandchild since she only has three months to live. Sung Dong-il, who plays Geum Soon’s trusted advisor, searches for him, but the person he finds is abhorrent. She would only become unhappy if she found out she had a grandchild like that. As a result, he employs Kang Ha-Yoo neul’s Jae-heon to perform the part. Jae-heon, a failing actor, works as a delivery man to support himself. A dying woman’s desire to have her missing grandchild played appears benign since it would make her final months more bearable. Although it could be Jae-most heon’s most significant performance to date, it won’t be simple.
