The film tells a story of a married couple, who in the midst of their mundane lives decide to pursue their lost dreams.

The husband finds himself accidentally running for Mayor of Seoul and his wife decides to become a pop singer.

One day, Hwang rescues a drunk man who falls off of a subway platform and becomes an instant hero.

Things go along just fine until Uhm receives a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sign with an entertainment agency, forcing her to choose between her dream and his.
