Synopsis
Sang-woo, a detective and debt collector, also works as a paparazzi photographer, often facing harassment from his boss Jeong. One day, Sang-woo's account is suspended due to debts owed by his father and his father's second wife. To resolve this, Sang-woo tracks down his half-brother Bong-goo, who is registered as a disabled person.
Surprisingly, Bong-goo appears much older than his age and engages in inappropriate behavior. Sang-woo initially tries to shirk responsibility but later learns he can claim 7 million won if he registers Bong-goo in the family register. Throughout their interactions, Sang-woo faces various misunderstandings, including being mistaken for gay and dealing with Bong-goo's diabetic condition.
As they team up to collect debts, their relationship evolves. However, conflicts arise when Bong-goo and Ki-tae pressure Sang-woo into accepting a job he doesn't want. Sang-woo ultimately helps Bong-goo find his mother and exposes Chief Jeong's corruption.
