Welcome to Storyflix.
In this video, we will explain Legally Dad.
This mini-series tells the
story of a financially struggling orphan who takes care of her eight years old sister while juggling
part-time jobs.
One day a 28 years old man appears before her,
offering to be her dad through a signed agreement.
Will she accept the offer for a better life for herself and her sister?
Or will she choose to reject it and continue to struggle alone?
Let's find out in Legally Dad!
Legally Dad begins by showing a girl named Kim Ah-young who lives with her younger sister in a
simple apartment.
Ah-young and her little sister have been orphans since their parents died a few years ago.
Ah-young, who is only twenty-three years old, must struggle to provide for herself
and her eight-year-old sister.
Lacking an impressive educational background,
she only works part-time at a coffee shop.
Not having enough money, Ah-young is often in arrears to pay the apartment's rent,
so the woman who owns the apartment threatens to kick Ah-young and her sister out
if they don't pay the rent.
Ah-young then has to think of a way to get more money to pay off the payment.
When Ah-young is on her way to work, she accidentally runs into her little sister,
Dan-Bi, who is fighting with two little girls.
They turn out to be mocking Dan-Bi for not having a father.
Ah-young immediately breaks them up and tries to comfort Dan-Bi
so that her sister is no longer sad.
Arriving at work, Ah-young then tells about all the problems she has experienced
to a young man named Yoo Joo-ho,
who has been her best friend for more than seven years.
After listening to Ah-young's story,
Joo-ho offers to let Ah-young and Dan-Bi stay at his house so they don't have to pay rent.
However, Ah-young politely declines the offer because she doesn't want to trouble Joo-ho.
The scene then switches and shows Dan-Bi standing by the restaurant window
and looking inside, where a little girl is eating with her dad.
Since her actions are considered disturbing to the restaurant's customers,
a male employee comes out and scolds Dan-Bi while telling her to leave rather rudely.
However, suddenly a man named Sul Yoo-sang came and defended Dan-Bi.
Yoo-sang then approaches Dan-Bi and kindly invites her to have lunch at the restaurant.
Dan-Bi accepts Yoo-sang's offer.
After lunch, Dan-Bi tells Yoo-sang that what made her stare at the
little girl wasn't because of her food but because of her father.
Dan-Bi reveals to Yoo-sang that she
is an orphan and longs for a father to be by her side.
Hearing this, Yoo-sang looks surprised and, at the same time feels sorry for Dan-Bi.
That night, Dan-Bi recounts her meeting with Yoo-sang to Ah-young,
who looks surprised that someone so kind-hearted treats her sister to lunch,
even though he doesn't know her.
A few days later,
Yoo-sang appears to come to Ah-young's workplace and offer her a deal.
As an established man,
Yoo-sang is willing to provide for all of Ah-young and Dan-Bi's needs
and support them financially,
as long as they both agree to be their daughters.
Yoo-sang then gave the agreement letter to Ah-young
and gave her time to think about his offer before signing the agreement.
That evening, Ah-young talks about the agreement to Joo-ho,
who looks surprised that a mysterious man suddenly appears
and wants to finance Ah-young and Dan-Bi financially.
Joo-ho, who doesn't easily trust other people,
then advises Ah-young to reject the offer
because the contract states that they will live together.
However, Ah-young says that she has no choice
but to accept Yoo-sang's offer because she has run out of ways to earn more money.
Shortly afterwards, Ah-young signs the agreement and moves into Yoo-sang's house with Dan-Bi.
Yoo-sang, who is the CEO of a leading company, has been living alone in a fairly large house.
The next day, Ah-young tells Joo-ho that she and Dan-Bi already live at Yoo-sang's home. Hearing
this, Joo-ho became annoyed, but he couldn't do anything because it was all Ah-young's decision,
and she only thought of the best for her little sister who really wanted a father by her side.
Yoo-sang and Ah-young seem to be having a conversation, where they discuss the rules
that Ah-young and Dan-Bi must obey while staying at his house.
One day, Ah-young who was drying clothes, met a middle-aged man who was about to meet Yoo-sang
at his house. Yoo-sang tells Ah-young that the man is his uncle. On the other hand, Yoo-sang's uncle
looks surprised to see a woman at Yoo-sang's house and immediately asks Yoo-sang about it.
Not wanting his relationship with Ah-young and Dan-Bi to be known by the public and cause trouble
for his company, Yoo-sang tells his uncle that Ah-young is a housekeeper who works at his house.
His uncle seems to believe Yoo-sang's words. But after leaving, he orders his assistant to look for
information on Ah-young. A guilty Yoo-sang then apologizes to Ah-young for calling her a maid.
But Ah-young apparently doesn't mind it at all because she understands Yoo-sang's reasoning.
As time goes by, Yoo-sang and Ah-young get closer. They even went together to visit a place and had
casual heart-to-heart conversations. However, unbeknownst to Ah-young and Yoo-sang, it turns out
that someone is secretly capturing the moment of their closeness. Not only in that place,
but the person also followed the two to the house and took pictures of them together with Dan-Bi,
who looked so happy. One day, Ah-young is about to go to her friend's wedding and
wears a stunning dress. Yoo-sang was immediately stunned to see Ah-young who looked very beautiful,
wearing the dress. That night, Joo-ho intends to take Ah-young home and they go out together.
But on the way, Ah-young accidentally finds an article about herself and Yoo-sang that has gone
viral on social media. Ah-young immediately feels guilty for causing trouble for Yoo-sang which of
course will have an impact on the company that he leads. Hearing this, Joo-ho is even
more worried about the safety of Ah-young and Dan-Bi who live with Yoo-sang. Not long after,
Yoo-sang came to see Ah-young and seemed worried about her condition. However, Joo-ho immediately
speaks up and says that he will protect Ah-young and Dan-Bi from now on. Not only that,
but Joo-ho also openly revealed that he loves Ah-young. As if not wanting to lose, Yoo-sang
then tells Ah-young that he will cancel their contract as father and daughter, and instead,
he plans to make Ah-young his life partner. After saying that, Yoo-sang left from there. Ah-young
then asks about Joo-ho's feelings for her, and Joo-ho says that he's really loved her for a long
time. Hearing this, Ah-young looks pensive because she had no idea that Joo-ho loved her. Ah-young
boldly reveals that she's only thought of Joo-ho as a friend and nothing more. Ah-young actually
feels bad for Joo-ho because he has been so good to her all this time. But according to her,
telling the truth was much better for both of them. After that, Ah-young rushed to Yoo-sang
and said she was willing to enter into a new contract with Yoo-sang as his life partner.
Ah-young is also willing to wait for Yoo-sang until he solves the problems that involve their
relationship and cause a bad impact on the company led by him. The two of them decide to separate
for a while and Ah-young goes back to working part-time at the coffee shop to make ends meet.
Long story short, a few months later, Yoo-sang finally returns and visits Ah-young at her
workplace. Ah-young looks so happy to be reunited with Yoo-sang after so long finally.
They both let go of the longing by hugging each other affectionately. After that, Yoo-sang also
proposes to Ah-young to be his wife, which she accepts. The moral we can learn from this film
is to keep fighting to achieve our dreams and find happiness, no matter how difficult the
circumstances we will face. Because who knows, a handsome, rich and kind man will come who wants to
adopt us as his daughter and fulfil all our needs financially without any strings attached.
