Bek Hyunjin

Ki Woo (Jung Il Woo) and Ji Sook (Kim Seul Gi) are a homeless couple who live on the road with their two young children. To make matters worse, Ji Sook is pregnant and the children have never even learned to read or write. They live in a tent that they pitch near highway rest areas. And they make a tiny amount of money by approaching drivers who have stopped in the rest areas and telling them that they have left their wallets at home and have run out of gas. Ki Woo asks drivers to give them their account numbers, and that he will reimburse them when he gets back home.

One day, they manage to convince a woman named Young Sun (Ra Mi Ran) to give them money as she makes her way to her son’s grave. She and her husband Do Hwan (Bek Hyunjin) have been in mourning since their child’s untimely death. One day, Young Sun pulls into another highway rest area and sees Ki Woo pulling the same stunt with another driver. Outraged, she calls the police, who promptly arrest him. But Ji Sook and the children refuse to leave Ki Woo’s side, and follow him to the police station where he is detained. When Young Sun sees this pitiful group sitting outside the police station, she starts to feel pity for the family. Can she right this situation – and help heal her own wounds?

The Highway Nomads

Stress is no stranger to the members of Marketing Team 3 of the home appliance department at the Gaus Electronics HQ. The firm is a busy, multinational company, but this is a team that most workers dream of getting out of – and where chaos is no stranger! Some 10 employees make up the team. These include Lee Sang Sik (Kwak Dong Yeon), a man with a positive personality who often misjudges his coworkers’ moods, causing trouble as a result! There is also Cha Na Rae (Go Sung Hee), the hot-tempered assistant manager!

Also among their number is Baek Ma Tan (Bae Hyeon Seong), the heir of the owners of Gaus Electronics’ fiercest rival – Power Group. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and has never known hardship. But he shocked his entire family when he decided to join Gaus as a junior employee! His polar opposite is Geon Gang Mi (Kang Min Ah), who comes from more modest origins and has always tried to pull herself up by her bootstraps – pushing herself to succeed at every step (although she does have a tendency to change when she drinks alcohol!). While they seem to have very little in common at first, they slowly begin to form a bond, with possible sparks of romance in the air! Will any of the marketing team succeed in escaping? Or will they eventually find a way to quell the workplace chaos?

This drama was based on a web-based cartoon of the same name by Kwak Baek Soo. The cartoon was serialized from 2011 to 2019.

A divisive figure, the public is unsure as to whether Kang Yo Han is a true popular hero or a malicious force sowing the seeds of chaos in his court.
