Bookended by a wedding and a funeral, this poignant narrative captures the complexities of daily human existence. NJ faces professional disillusionment while dealing with greedy business partners, yet finds an unexpected bond with Japanese software mogul Ota and crosses paths with his former flame Sherry. Meanwhile, his wife MinMin leaves for a Buddhist retreat, leaving the family to care for her comatose mother. Amidst this, young YangYang faces trouble at school, while TingTing gets caught in a complicated love triangle. Adding to the drama, NJ’s brother-in-law, ADi, struggles with his demanding new wife and an ex-lover. This masterpiece beautifully captures the essence of life's transitions.
