A man buys a broken boy for rice, calls him wife, and asks nothing but that he stay alive. The gentleness of it, the refusal to demand anything from someone who has only known violence, becomes its own kind of love story. Three episodes to watch someone learn they deserve to be treated like a person, not a transaction.
Deep in the mountains, the burly Bong-chun lives hidden away from curious eyes. He pays fifty sacks of rice for Sun-gap, a servant boy whose master has beaten him nearly to death. Bong-chun treats him gently, calls him his wife and gives him no hard work, which leaves Sun-gap baffled. Just as Sun-gap starts to enjoy this calm life, relieved to be free of his old master's household, a man shows up saying he has come to bring him back. This is a three-episode romantic drama released online.
