Plot Synopsis by AsianWiki Staff ©

Han Geum-Ju (Sooyoung) is a 10-year veteran car mechanic for a top Korean automobile company. She is good at her job and enjoys socializing with people from her work. She enjoys drinking alcohol and considers herself a sensible drinker. One day, she reunites with her first love and friend Seo Ui-Joon (Gong Myung), who has returned to his hometown from Seoul. Seo Ui-Joon worked as a medical specialist at a prestigious university hospital in Seoul, but, for an unknown reason, he has returned to his hometown and begun to work as a director at the public health center. Unlike Han Geum-Ju, Seo Ui-Joon hates alcohol. Meanwhile, Han Geum-Ju gets the dishonor of being labelled an alcoholic and she challenges herself to quit drinking.

Jew Apr 29 2026 9:52 pm I watched this drama series this April 2026. Loving the main couple bcoz of their chemistry. I like the plot coz it talks about social issues on habitual drinking. My rating is 8.9/10

Another nice slice of life Jan 17 2026 10:47 am The writing, acting, screenplay, cuteness, humor everything is in such good proportion. The Ml , FL and all the cast are doing such fantastic job. This is so worthwhile watching sooyoung in her splendor. And the guy from hometown cha cha cha, additional fun.

Kristine Sep 23 2025 11:15 am Just watched 2nd episode. It is really contradictory. She is constantly being told she crossed a line but isn’t everyone around her crossing the line? Why does the mom decide her husband and adult kids go dry? Major boundary crossing.

hannie Sep 13 2025 1:24 am i love all gongmyung drama ! 10 /10

ken Aug 07 2025 12:29 am Personally I found it pretty boring and the characters had no chemistry and the story was kind of boring. Just finished episode 3 I don't think I'll finish anymore. It just isn't enough story to have interest to watch next episode to find out what happens

Emma Jun 19 2025 1:31 am I cried, i laughed, relatable drama. Damn, this drama was so good, gonna re-watch them again ♥️? highly highly recommend.

Jillibean Jun 18 2025 7:04 am I finished the drama yesterday and it was excellent! Definitely a drama getting an A+ from me! It gives actual alcoholics hope to heal themselves from the affliction. Very positive and much needed drama for South Korea and I think Sooyoung deserves acting awards for her performance.

Vk Jun 17 2025 12:09 am Where is episode 11 and 12?

Jillibean Jun 01 2025 12:22 am This is the best drama of three I am watching right now. Hope the quality stays excellent and it doesn't descend into a soap opera mish mash. ;)

Riska May 29 2025 9:47 pm the drama is really good, i like it, can't wait for episode 7??

Russell May 26 2025 8:27 am Such an underrated drama! I am really enjoying it. The acting is superb from everyone. I feel sorry for those who are missing it.

ddalgi May 21 2025 10:25 pm excited to watch next ep!! it's goood omg so funny kkk. love the chemistry thooo

Ana May 21 2025 7:30 pm This drama is surprising so good.. can't wait for next episode?

Nan May 17 2025 9:28 am I juat want to see him alive and happy so I can recover from the trauma.

Jillibean May 15 2025 3:28 pm Watched the first two episodes so far. Excellent. They're bringing up a subject -- alcoholism -- that is sorely needed to be addressed in South Korea where drinking alcohol is commonplace at practically every meal and social gathering.

Nimi May 14 2025 3:02 pm This is so funny yet so great kikiki I’m here for this,just what I needed

avery May 12 2025 9:22 am can't wait to start watching this drama! i heard that haechan will be in charge of one of the ost's in the drama. it's cool how both of the leads are connected to him somehow lol but anyways! i'm sure their acting will be good! as well as the directing and stuff, can't wait!

Jae Apr 13 2025 5:47 pm Gong Myung!! Happy that he is everywhere now. Hehe. Love him so much!

Jillibean Feb 16 2025 2:20 pm I love all these actors and actresses from past dramas so really looking forward to this one! :)
