Synopsis: Jihoon is doing his best to live a decent life, but it’s getting harder to compete in this world full of thriving competitors. To make his resume more attractive, Jihoon chose to work at a place where he could gain hours of volunteer work by visiting a dementia patient once a week. However, this dementia patient, Mr. Yoon Jong-gu, turned out to be such a crabby old man, making Jihoon’s life harder. But who would have expected, even this ill-tempered man once had beautiful, youthful days. Mr. Yoon, who believes that he is a 26-year-old worker at a ballpoint pen factory, seems to have a secret. What has Mr. Yoon kept hidden under a tree in order to go to the legendary music lounge, C’est Si Bon?
