- The Story - 

A Quest for True Meaning of a Family
"Likeable or Not" searches into the true meaning of family as a stepson, BaekHo, truly becomes a member of the step-family after his mother remarries. A true family is not based on blood-relations or the same surnames but on love for and interest in each other.

Stories of Love, Success and Failure
Good-for-nothing BaekHo meets his formidable match DanPung and starts from the bottom, climbing up the ladder to success. In the world where money seems to be the power, BaekHo's quest for love contrasts to SeonJae's ambitious ascent and subsequent downfall.

Our Neighbors' Small Triumphs Will Give Hope
"Likable of Not" presents the life of an upright civil servant, a single father who raises his daughter with much affection and self-sacrifice. At the same time, it will look into struggles divorced couples would have to go through. Also, the drama will show a glimpse of what it would be like for a foreign woman to work in Korea with her "Korean Dream."
