At the end of this turbulent journey, will Mimi be able to discover her true self—one that is ‘not Mimi’—and face her boyfriend again? "Hey, don't you guys know what a Moon Geon-sik is? Everyone has a Moon Geon-sik. Dad. Or being a dad. Or being a dad forever." "You said that yesterday, didn't you? That it seems like I tell everything to just anyone. Right.
