'Simu-myeon Yeonliri' is a heartwarming family reboot drama that follows the chaotic adventures of the city family, Seong Tae-hoon (played by Park Sung-woong), as they struggle to return to Seoul after being abruptly relocated to the pristine yet fierce area of 'Yeonliri.'

His heart-shaped gesture and the line, "Welcome to Yeonliri, a crime-free village," are sure to bring laughter to viewers.
Village elder Im Joo-hyung sees Seong Tae-hoon's cabbage farming as a thorn in his side, leading to frequent clashes between the two. Meanwhile, Seong Tae-hoon's wife, Jo Mi-ryeo, faces subtle territorial challenges from the women's association leader, Nam Hye-seon (played by Nam Kwon-ah), adding to the family's struggles to adapt to life in Yeonliri.
The eldest son, Seong Ji-cheon, begins to change in the unfamiliar environment after meeting Im Bo-mi (played by Choi Gyu-ri), the only daughter of the village chief couple. Their growing attraction adds a touch of romance and anticipation for the upcoming episodes, promising harmless laughter and heart-fluttering moments.
