Set during the Japanese occupation of Korea, Bun-yi is sold into marriage as the wife of Young-gu, the intellectually disabled son of a wealthy family involved in secretly funding the independence movement. As she endures hardship and family conflict, betrayal from within the household leads to her expulsion. After Korea’s liberation, both Bun-yi and Young-gu struggle to rebuild their lives separately. Years later, through perseverance and changing fortunes, the fractured family is reunited, leading to reconciliation and renewal. Film adaptation of the 1972 KBS TV series A Journey
