One-Line Verdict

“The housing crisis facing young people today—a man without a home and a woman with nowhere to live become housemates.”

Overview

Nam Se-hee is a single man in his late 30s who owns his own home, though he carries a significant amount of mortgage debt. Yoon Ji-ho is a single woman in her early 30s who does not own a home and often envies those who do.

The two begin living together when Yoon Ji-ho moves into Nam Se-hee’s house.

They choose marriage for the sake of economic convenience; however, conflicts with demanding in-laws—along with the deepening feelings they begin to develop for one another—make their married life anything but simple.
