Synopsis

It explores the different thoughts of men and women in their thirties about love, marriage and family in a modern age when divorce is more common.

Cha Tae-hyun as Jo Seok-moo (36 years old), a somehow stubborn husband who enjoys spending time alone.
Bae Doona as Kang Hwi-roo (35 years old), opposite to her husband Seok-moo, she seems as an easygoing but self-centered and a sloppy woman, who prefers to take things at a slower pace.
Lee El as Jin Yoo-young (36 years old), Jang-hyun's wife. She is an introvert, but reliable and a smart person. She is Seok-moo's first love.
Son Suk-ku as Lee Jang-hyun (36 years old), a charismatic man who apparently is loved by many women, but in fact always feels alone.

The first script reading of the cast was held on July 23, 2018 at KBS Annex Building.
