To avoid being a burden to his family, Lee Sang-cheol took on household chores and struggled by going to the labor market from dawn, moving viewers to tears.

Lee Sang-cheol, feeling guilty for not being able to earn living expenses, sighed alone without even entering his home, fully conveying the weight of life that a breadwinner bears. Eventually, his three children decided to share the living expenses, which dealt a significant blow to Lee Sang-cheol's pride as a breadwinner.

Thus, Chun Ho-jin, who has lived his life with a sense of responsibility towards his family, is gaining empathy through his intense performance, now worrying that his existence might become a burden to his family. Attention is focused on Chun Ho-jin's performance as he vividly depicts the second act of Lee Sang-cheol's life, filled with trials, contrasting sharply with 'Glamorous Days'.
