[Drama Synopsis]

The story begins with a family possessing superpowers who develop common ailments faced by modern people, hindering their abilities. Among them, a man with exceptional powers, who has failed to save anyone, finally rescues his destined love, leading to a fantasy romance.

Depression, insomnia, obesity, smartphone addiction,

These are common ailments found in most households today.

However, due to these ordinary illnesses, a family with extraordinary abilities has lost their powers.

Dad, who time-traveled to a happy past, suffers from depression, losing both happiness and his abilities,

Grandma, who used to have prophetic dreams, experiences insomnia and can no longer sleep soundly,

Aunt, who could soar through the skies, has become overweight and grounded.

And the daughter, who lost her mother due to her powers, fills the void with her smartphone.

Are these rare abilities a blessing or a curse?

Perhaps the most chronic and incurable disease of modern times is 'family'.

A woman appears in the lives of this financially struggling superpowered family, as if destined to be with them.

Becoming part of their family, it seems as if their lost health and abilities are starting to return.

Family is what makes modern people sick,

but it's often family that provides both the ailment and the cure.

A man who yearned to save others but failed to do so,

Will he regain his special abilities and be able to save the one he loves!

[Character Relationship Chart]

Do Da-hae (Chun Woo-hee)

30 years old, Female

Born in spring.

Her father intended to name her after the seasonal fish, 'Doda-ri' (flatfish), as it is in season during spring, but

the town hall employee barely managed to convince him to change a single letter,

hoping she would live a life doing whatever she wants, and she was named 'Da-hae'.

Her mother left for a new life with another man when Da-hae was very young, and

her father, who enjoyed Doda-ri and mugwort soup in the spring, passed away one winter night while

drunk and sleeping on the street, never to wake up again.

Even though she became an orphan at seventeen, misfortune didn't leave Da-hae alone.

Not only did she lose her family, but a fire broke out at her school,

and she lost her friends and teachers overnight.

She was tormented by guilt over surviving.

Without any outstanding talents or possessions, she felt lonely for simply surviving.

However, the reason she persevered and lived was because of someone who saved her life at the scene of the accident. (to be continued)

Bok Gwi-ju (Jang Ki-yong)

Mid-30s, Male

His blessing and curse is the ability to 'regress to the past'.

However, he can only time-travel to happy moments.

Reliving happy moments repeatedly was quite sweet.

But there was always a lingering thirst and frustration in the back of his mind.

Because he could go back in time, but he couldn't change the past.

He couldn't touch anything or reach anyone.

People in the past cannot see him or hear his voice.

There must be a reason why he received this special ability that ordinary humans don't have,

and he wanted to use his abilities meaningfully for others, not just to savor his personal happiness.

And it happened.

That day was the day his daughter was born. (to be continued)
