Ji Kang (played by Son Ho-jun) was raised by his mother with great hardship after his father's early death, and he vowed to provide a good life for her. However, due to his lack of learning and skills, he was always fighting and causing trouble, and even got involved in a theft case, which left his mother, Soon-ok (played by Kim Hae-sook), both helpless and heartbroken. However, the villagers on the island praised Ji Kang, who took the blame for his peers, saying, "Such a loyal child will surely become a great person when he grows up." But this phrase "He will achieve great things" ruined Ji Kang's life. By chance, Ji Kang came to Seoul to seek his fortune. Before leaving, he left behind, "Mom, just wait! I will succeed." Ji Kang, who was eager for success, took a shortcut and embarked on a wrong path... What made his mother most heartbroken was that he was sentenced to death for his "brute force". Ji Kang was terrified and uneasy because of the lack of hope. What's worse, he gave up on himself and was determined to end his life because of this. When he felt extremely desperate, a handwritten letter from his illiterate mother awakened a glimmer of hope for life in him.[Collapse]
