Plot
In the bustling heart of urban Korea, the hapless Ji-woong finds himself jobless and, worse, homeless after his mother abruptly halts the flow of funds that were barely keeping him afloat. However, fate has a quirky sense of humor and salvation shows up draped in the most unlikely garb - the tightfisted Hong-sil. With her eccentric pastime of frequent bank visits to deposit savings, and her knack for trading discarded glass bottles and old newspapers into cash, Hong-sil becomes the silver lining in Ji-woong's clouded existence.
But, an unexpected financial roadblock disrupts Hong-sil's steady march towards her ambitious 20 million-dollar dream. She must create a separate bank account under a different name. Enter Ji-woong, an unlikely hero in her meticulously planned savings scheme. As their lives intertwine, this comedy-drama unfolds, revealing the humorous and heartwarming journey of two mismatched souls navigating the complex world of penny-pinching.
