Synopsis
Mr Plankton tells the story of an unhappy man and woman, who are then forced to accompany each other for the rest of their lives.
Hae Jo (Woo Do-hwan) is an adult man who lives an unhappy life. In fact, he didn’t have a single person who loved and cared for him. Hae Jo also doesn’t know who his biological father is, so he grew up without a father figure.
This also makes people think that Hae Jo was born from a mistake. Time continues to pass, until Hae Jo hears news information that can change his life and he can live happily. Finally, Hae Jo decided to go looking for her biological father.
Hae Jo meets a woman named Jo Jae-mi (Lee Yoo-mi) on her journey to find her biological father. However, at that time Jae-mi was about to marry a man named Eo Hung (Oh Jung-se), who was born into a family of culinary businessmen who owned a company called Eo Family.
However, Eo Hung’s family, one of which is his mother, Beom Ho-ja (Kim Hae-sook), does not want Jo Jae-mi to become Eo Heung’s wife. But in the end, they still got married because Jae-mi was pregnant.
Unfortunately, Jo Jae-mi and Eo Heung’s wedding ceremony did not go smoothly because Jo Jae-mi suddenly ran away from the location. Jo Jae-mi disappeared because she accompanied Hae Jo on a journey to find her father and true identity. (M-3)
