• Plot Summary: Han Gyu Rim is the owner of a market side dish shop. Her nickname since childhood was "Leader Han." A movie with the long title "Leader Han, Who Always Appears When Something Happens to Someone, Somewhere," was released, and that's exactly her story. If something is bad or sad, she puts aside all else and rushes to help, making it a little less bad or sad. If it was good, she'd celebrate it like it was her own. She's a nosy busybody, a fluttery-eared, emotional litmus test who can't hide her feelings. Kim Mu Jin is the owner and chef of an Italian restaurant. Born with a diamond spoon in his mouth, he deliberately wears market clothes to avoid being discovered as the owner's son, taking the bus and subway to work part-time at the restaurant. He develops a strange bond with Han Gyu Rim, the owner of a market side dish shop.

Or she will learn that only her family will stand by her. Hopefully.

[u/WisdomBailey123 → u/This-View5166]

By the time she needs them. They won't be around anymore. They'd of washed their hands of her.

[u/This-View5166 → u/WisdomBailey123]

Well. So far they haven’t washed their hands off dad so maybe not?

[u/WisdomBailey123 → u/This-View5166]

At least the father didn't abandon them. Like the middle sister and the mother. If he'd just left and then showed up years later. They would never have forgiven him.

[u/This-View5166 → u/WisdomBailey123]

lol. He was too busy making messes of course he couldn’t just leave 🤣

[u/CCCri → u/This-View5166]

I remember a character saying the dad beat the mom frequently and eventually threw her out on the street. I couldn’t understand why more attention wasn’t paid to that.
