The Third Generation's Family

Three generations under one roof, with young and old alike, and no one has passed away. Yet life has never truly been peaceful.

The old patriarch guards the family fortune, while each of his children has their own agenda. The second son is honest and dutiful, but most of the family's troubles seem to revolve around his branch. The second son's eldest son's wife is the most controversial person in the family. Quick-witted and resourceful, she schemes for her own household while also keeping the clan's interests in mind. It's hard to say whether she's good or bad.

The brothers and their wives compare themselves with one another, the elders play favorites, and the younger generation keeps its distance. The family business flourishes at times, only to plunge into a slump in the blink of an eye because of suspicion, greed, and misunderstandings.

They've argued, fought, and fallen out, but they've also shared moments of warmth and mutual support. The family cannot be torn apart, yet they never manage to live in harmony. Its ups and downs are filled with the everyday joys and hardships of an ordinary household.
