His life takes a turn when he runs into Park Dal I, a merchant with amnesia who bears a startling resemblance to his wife. Although Dal I and Lee Gang's first meeting goes poorly, they soon find themselves as unlikely allies helping those in need. However, the two awaken one morning to the shock of a lifetime: they've swapped bodies.
