Koo Bok Ja (Kim Mi Kyung), a mother of three, who believes in superstitions often asks a seer about her family's luck. The seer tells her that for the next year, the number "9" will bring a bad luck to her family. Coincidentally, her younger brother, Koo Gwang Soo (Oh Jung Se) will be 39 years old next year. Her oldest son, Kang Jin Goo (Kim Young Kwang), will turn 29. Her second and youngest sons, Kang Min Goo (Yook Sung Jae) and Kang Dong Goo (Choi Ro Woon), will be 19 and 9 years old. From then on, a chain of bad lucks approach the four boys in their work and love life. 

I watched this drama a few months ago and I still remember some of the scenes. I love the plot as it is something new for an Asian drama. It's not about a super rich boy who falls in love with a weak poor girl which is very common plot for Asian dramas. The characters are realistic, they have their good and bad sides, just normal people. The story is light and has its funny moments sometimes. Even when it's mainly focused on romance, it has strong backgrounds in other aspects as well, such as family, friends, and work. It's simple yet entertaining.
