After extensive research and effort, Kwang-sook completed the liquor named after herself and Jang-soo, Jang-gwangju, and successfully secured a contract to supply major hotels, growing into a reputable representative and bringing smiles to viewers. However, the liquor store faces a crisis due to interference from Shilla Distillery's Dongso (Choi Byeong-mo) and the sudden appearance of her sister-in-law So-yeon.

The warm camaraderie among the liquor store brothers has warmed the living rooms of viewers. The absence of the eldest brother is sturdily filled by the second brother, Cheon-soo, and the atmosphere maker among the brothers is Heung-soo. The fourth brother, Oh Beom-soo (Yoon Park), who appears cold on the surface but is deeply affectionate towards his family, and the youngest, Oh Gang-soo (Lee Seok-ki), who is always reliable, acted as mediators in conflicts that arose among the brothers.
