First, the story of Han Ji-yi becoming a 'high school mother' was unfolded as a reenactment drama. Han Ji-yi, who suffered from discord with her parents since middle school, eventually dropped out and started working part-time. Then, when I was 16, I fell in love with a man sitting next to me at a cafe and actively confronted me. After a long courtship, she dated the man, but the two faced a crisis with a nine-year age difference. Nevertheless, due to Han Ji-yi's unwavering affection, the two became a couple with three daughters.
However, Han Ji-yi said, "After giving birth to my third child, my husband's attitude became remarkably cold." It was a serious life-and-death situation, but her husband rarely went to the hospital. In the end, he said, 'Let's get a divorce'." However, seeing her husband reacting indifferently to this story, Han Ji-yi sobbed, saying, "I just woke up from my dream."







Then, the daily life of the Hanji family of six was revealed. On the outside, he seemed to be living a carefree life in a luxurious home. Han Ji-yi also aroused admiration with her CEO appearance at the office of the sales agency shopping mall she runs. He also revealed, “I made up to 13 million won with the highest daily sales.”
However, the house where the Han Ji-yi family currently lives is a monthly rental house with a deposit of 30 million won and a monthly payment of 1.5 million won.

Han Ji-yi's younger sister also surprised everyone by saying that she was receiving an allowance of 1.6 million won per month from her older sister. Han Ji-yi, whose expression darkened at the children's clear request for pocket money during the meal, met a friend that night and confessed, "I received a reminder letter because I couldn't pay the national tax, and my rent was two months behind." Regarding the contradictory situation, Han Ji-yi explained, "The current sales have only reached 2 million won per month due to a period of business stagnation, and I suffered damages of about 130 million won due to fraud, so my life has become very difficult."
Seeing Han Ji-yi shed tears while carrying the burden of her family alone, the cast members advised, "It seems like it will collapse any minute," and that "special measures are needed."

Kim Gyeong-pil, money trainer, looked around Han Ji-yi's house and warned, "If she continues like this due to excessive consumption, she will go bankrupt within three months." He also shocked Han Ji-yi by adding that "the current debt may be passed on to children."
After an in-depth consultation with money trainer Kim Kyung-pil, Han Ji-yi confided about the current difficult economic situation for the first time at a gathering of family members. At the same time, he said to his children, “I will take a break from some academies for the time being,” and to my younger sister, “I will reduce my allowance.” Recognizing that the situation was more serious than expected, the younger sister agreed, saying, “I will look for a part-time job.” The daughters also bravely stepped forward, saying, “I will help my mother in difficult situations as much as possible.” Cast members and viewers applauded Han Ji-yi's firm determination to "work harder and take responsibility for her family until the end."
