Season 1 Plot
Yeon Ji is a rookie designer at a wet wipes factory. Her annoying ex-boyfriend Lee Min Woo and her dead-end job gives her little room for advancement and even less room for happiness. Sun Hee is Yeon Ji’s supervisor at the factory. She looks like she has temper issues, but she is also a lonely and misunderstood soul. Nam Hee is Yeon Ji’s roommate. She has the most low-percentage dream in the world: she is an aspiring webtoon artist. Joyful and optimistic, Nam Hee doesn’t get discouraged by the fact that there are more failures as webtoon artists than there are actual webtoons. Hye Young is a baker. Someday, she dreams of having her own bakery. Sadly, she lives in an economy that chews up and spits out new businesses faster than any cake or pastry. As these women struggle to figure out what they want in life, they form a bond they never thought possible. They are now a sisterhood of the basic question, “What is the best moment to quit your job?”
