One-Line Verdict
“An epic story spanning four generations of a family battling the unpredictable uncertainties of life.”
Overview
Spanning from the Japanese colonial period in Busan to 1989—with the narrative reaching Japan and the United States—this is the tumultuous life story and survival saga of a Korean family over four generations.
Sunja, who grows up in Yeongdo, Busan, raised by poor but proud parents, falls into a forbidden romance and becomes pregnant with the child of a fish broker named Koh Hansu.
Upon discovering that Koh Hansu is already married, Sunja marries Baek Isak—a frail minister who offers to take her and her child in—and departs for Osaka, Japan.
