Seong/No. 456 (Lee Jung-jae)

Cho Sang-Woo’s mother’s (Park Hae-soo) seafood shop is located in Baekwoon Market in Ssangmun-dong, and Seong (Lee Jung-jae) regularly shops for his evening meal.

Having won some money from a mysterious man on the subway, Seong decides to be generous to Cho’s mother by leaving her the change. At the same time, he asks about his son. His mother explains that he has become a rich businessman and that he has succeeded in everything.
