In front of Sa Ra, who believes marriage is the graveyard of love, her ex-boyfriend, Ki Jun, appears after eight years. Ki Jun still believes that marriage is the completion of love and asks Sa Ra, who claims that justice is all about getting the bad guys to plead, who comes up with the standards.

Two years ago, No Jeong Yeol (Kang Ha Neul) and Hong Na Ra (Jung So Min) were so madly in love that they decided to go against both of their family’s wishes and get married. While at the time, it may have seemed that their love would be enough to get them through whatever hardships might come their way, two years of married life have brought them to a very different place.

Agreeing that the time has come for them to go their separate ways, Jeong Yeol and Na Ra head to the courthouse to make their separation official.

Horrified to see the young couple falling in love once more, Jeong Yeol and Na Ra’s families devise an elaborate 30-day plan to help them regain their memories and end their marriage. Will their complicated schemes work in keeping the two apart or will it only serve to bring them closer together?

Soon, groups of survivors try to barge their way into the complex, forcing the Imperial Palace residents to make a grim choice: Should they admit the survivors to the complex, or fight to keep them out? The residents turn to the quick-thinking resident of room 902, Yeong Tak (Lee Byung Hun), for leadership. He turns to the civil servant Min Seong (Park Seo Joon) for help keeping the homeless survivors at bay. But Min Seong’s wife Myung Hwa (Park Bo Young) doesn’t want to close the door on the hopeless survivors.

The year is 1940, and the Korean Peninsula is still under the colonial rule of Imperial Japan.

The Imperial Japanese are on the verge of what will soon be their undoing – their involvement in World War II. But even as the nation prepares for war, the colonial government is doing its utmost in its colony to stamp out the Korean language. Its goal is to promote the Japanese language and culture at all costs.

Against this backdrop, a group of people forms an unlikely alliance. Their aim is to produce a Korean language dictionary – an act of defiance and patriotism that could well see them land in very hot water with the colonial government.

This group is led by an erudite young scholar named Ryu Jeong Hwan (Yoon Kye Sang) and Kim Pan Su (Yoo Hae Jin), an illiterate, middle-aged petty thief.

Together with the rest of the group, the duo attempts to do the unthinkable – complete and publish a vital reference book that could help restore national pride in a language that has been placed under existential threat.

This film was partly based on a true story.
