Introduction*: 
This is the story of two brothers.  The younger brother (Duk-goo) is a good baseball pitcher who gets a scholarship to play baseball in college.  The older brother (Chul-goo) is rather troubled; he has failed his college entrance exam a number of times.  Their mother is trapped in a very unhappy marriage, and the situation does not get better when her husband helps a woman who he has a relationship with (and a daughter, too) move back to his small hometown.  Right away, the two women bump into each other and sparks fly.  The sons also find out that they have a sister.

Factoid:
