Plot summary
Mu-ok built Pyeongmanok, a dumpling restaurant that has drawn long lines since before social media, and it made him wealthy. His only son, Moon-seok, was meant to inherit the place, but he became a monk, so no one would carry on the family name. Mu-ok is sure the line ends with him. Then two children turn up at the restaurant and insist that Moon-seok is their father. The arrival gives Mu-ok heirs he never expected and a happiness he has not felt before. Moon-seok, for his part, is looking back at the life he led before he took his vows.
