Blurb

A pandemic has hit Seoul hard, but the beloved convenience store remains a beacon of hope. A year and a half after a former homeless man named Dokgo began working the night shift, the store faces a new challenge. With owner Mrs. Yeom moving to the countryside, her troubled son, Minsik, is left in charge of the struggling business.

Just when the future seems most uncertain, a peculiar new part-time employee arrives for the night shift: Geunbae. With a large build and a quirky presence reminiscent of Dokgo, Geunbae is an eternal optimist who begins to bring about unexpected changes. He helps a young job seeker regain her confidence, inspires a local business owner to adapt, and forces Minsik to confront his past.
But just as Geunbae begins to shine, he is cast in a play based on the real-life story of Dokgo, the former convenience store employee. Can the truth about his predecessor be revealed? And can Minsik finally take charge of his life and business to secure his family's future?
