Lead by matriarch widow Hong Duk-ja, the Hong gangster family turns legitimate, but a figure from their past returns to undermine and ruin their popular new business.

Mrs. Hong's family launches a new business (a kimchi manufacturing company) after putting an end to their crime-related dirty business. It's a huge success due to Mrs. Hong's culinary talent, and she, with her three sons and their wives, write a new chapter for their family history (learning what an ordinary man's life is like); but, the Hongs hit a crisis when former prosecutor Bong, imprisoned for manipulating evidence (and now released), prepares for revenge on the Hongs, who largely contributed to his conviction.—anonymous
