Synopsis

Features three women and one man from different walks of life coming together for revenge: a fish store ajumma who envisioned a better life for herself, a housewife who grew up an orphan, a chaebol magnate's daughter who was raised like a delicate flower and a young man who was neglected by his parents. They're an unlikely foursome who would never otherwise meet, but they join forces to carry out their individual revenges. Although they start out as co-conspirators, along the way they become close to one another.
