Coming from a poor family, the heroine found herself in the new country in a difficult situation, which is also complicated by her origins. Korea and Japan have never boasted a good relationship, which caused the Japanese to dislike Koreans and vice versa. The heroine constantly faces dislike, but by chance, she meets Hansu.
