About the Show
A heartwarming tale of healing and human connection
Based on a smash-hit Korean novel that has sold over a million copies, this musical drama follows the lives of those who stay behind at 'Always' and the newcomers who cross its threshold, finding comfort in one another as they navigate life's journey.
There are moments in life when we lose our way and simply need time to find our way back to ourselves.
And in those moments, what we need isn't a flawless answer, but perhaps just a small, warm light whispering that it is okay to pause and catch your breath.
[Synopsis]
It has been a year and a half since Dokgo left the Always convenience store.
The world has changed in the wake of the pandemic, and the Always convenience store in Cheongpa-dong has seen its fair share of changes, too.
Sunsook is now the store manager, quietly carrying the heavy load of daily life. Meanwhile, Munsik—who stepped in as owner while his mother, Youngsook, recovers—is running the place with a strict focus on profit, turning the store into an even more inconvenient place.
Around this time, Mr. Kwak, who worked the night shift for years, leaves the store, and a new night-shift part-timer named Geunbae arrives.
He is large and talks a lot, but there is something deeply warm and human about him.
With a discounted sandwich, a bag of snacks, and some off-the-wall jokes, he slowly melts people's guarded hearts. He brings back memories of Dokgo, yet stays by everyone's side in his own unique way.
Meanwhile, all sorts of people walk through the doors of the Always convenience store, each carrying their own personal stories.
Mr. Kwak, who wants to mend things with his daughter; Sojin, who is finally facing reality when an opportunity arrives after three years; Mingyu, a teenager who feels more at home at the convenience store than his actual house; Munsik, the owner who only realizes what his family means to him after his mother steps away; Youngsook, who hopes her life will leave a lasting mark on someone even as her memories start to fade; and Inkyung, who is holding onto her dream of becoming a playwright.
People who have lost their way for a moment cross paths in this tiny corner store, and one person's small kindness quietly becomes someone else's tomorrow.
