Ji-won's life is in shambles. Her father's affair has torn her family apart, leaving her to mend their broken lives.
So, when her mother's obnoxious new white boyfriend enters the scene, bragging about his flawed knowledge of Korean culture and ogling Asian waitresses in restaurants, Ji-won's hold over her emotions strains.
