Dal-gun (Kim Myung-min) runs an agency that provides fake guests to weddings for clients who doesn't have many friends or relatives to attend their weddings. One of his clients gets into a traffic accident, which killed everyone in the bus but a nine-year-old girl named Na-rim. Desperate to get paid for his service, Dal-gun asks the client's family lawyer Mr. Hwang to make the payment and he realizes that only few people came to the funeral. He offers his service to Mr. Hwang and successfully provides fake mourners to the funeral.
The only survivor of the accident, Na-rim is traumatized by the accident and suffers from amnesia and speech impairment. Her doctor says she shouldn't be exposed to any more shock and they need to help her remember the happy family she once had. Mr. Hwang recalls that Dal-gun also provides 'fake family' service and asks Dal-gun to make a happy family for Na-rim.
Dal-gun auditions and picks five members of the family and he takes the roll of Na-rim's uncle. However, to meet the date of Na-rim's release from the hospital, he picks Yang-ah(Nam Sang-mi), who lied that she was a college student as Na-rim's sister without any verification of her background. Dal-gun recognizes Yang-ah to be the part timer who once ruined his work as she got caught stealing food from the wedding reception but he doesn't have any choice but to hire her again.
The staff of the goes back to their own lives when Na-rim goes to school. There are two rules everyone must follow. First is absolute harmony and teamwork and the second is prohibition of any romantic affairs within the company. But the team consists of people with certain problems of their own cannot come together in harmony. However, everyone tries to help each other without Na-rim noticing it. It seems like the project is headed for success as they really feel the bond of a family. But another problem was yet to come! There is a romance in the air among the staff. First 'Na-rim’s father' (Jo Ki-dong) and 'Na-rim’s mother'(Eom Ji-suk) develop a romantic relationship which isn't too serious of a problem since Na-rim just thinks that her parents are in love. But the project takes a serious turn when both Na Sun-cheol and Dal-gun fall in love with Yang-ah (role of Na-rim’s sister)

This is the first drama I've purchased (from Amazon, used, good condition). SBS got the episodes taken down on the internet. This was so very good I had to see what happened next. As Fatemeh says, The Guru, Kim Myung Min, demonstrates why he holds that title. And Nam Sang-Mi reminded me of Kim Sun-ah. Enjoy!

One of my all time favorite K-Dramas with the very beautiful Nam Sang-Mi.... Does anyone know where I can buy the dvds for this Drama, I saw some on ebay but I didn't really trust the sellers, it looked like a bootleg, so please if anyone knows, I would really appreciate it, thanks?

I never thought of Kim Myung Min as a comedy actor but his fabulous performance in this drama made me belive in him as an actor with fantastically diverse skills.
