At the age of 16, Taeil got a job as a sewing assistant at Pyeonghwa Market.
He is a warm-hearted boy who empties his pocket to buy street cakes for fellow workers, knowing that he has to walk home in the morning dew with no penny for a bus ride. His devoted mother passes sleepless nights, waiting for his son Taeil. After his father passed away, Taeil becomes the sole provider of his family. At the age of 19, he finally became a tailor but couldn't turn a blind eye to the young female workers and his fellows. First coming to know the existence of ‘the Labor Standards Act’, Taeil struggles to change the labor conditions of Pyeonghwa Market. However, he was fired mercilessly, despite his effort. Now, Taeil resolves to become the spark of hope to break through the walls of unjust reality.
