Characters

Bok Gwi-joo - Jang Ki-yong

The blessing and curse he received is 'regression to the past'. However, he can only time-slip to happy times.
On his daughter's 7th birthday, Gwi-joo returned from wandering the past and couldn't believe reality.
His wife was dying in the cold, mangled driver's seat, and his daughter was crying holding a bloody doll.
Now no memory of the past is happy anymore.
He can no longer go back to the happiest time of his life, the day his daughter was born.
He lost both his happiness and his ability. But then he met that woman.
"You look like my savior."

Do Da-hae - Chun Woo-hee

Her father wanted to name her Dodari (flatfish) because it was in season in spring, but the registrar barely talked him out of it, and her name became 'Da-hae' with one character changed so she could do whatever she wanted in life.
Da-hae became an orphan at seventeen and misfortune always followed her. She lost her family, and then a fire broke out at school, and she lost her friends and teachers overnight. But she persevered, thanks to the person who saved her life at the scene.
The savior who pulled Da-hae out of the fire was a man she didn't know the face or name of.
"You look like my savior."

Bok Man-heum - Go Doo-shim

Bok Gwi-joo's mother. The head of the Bok family. Her ability is precognitive dreams. However, she suffers from insomnia.
She was constantly used by incompetent people, and was stoned to death, burned to death, and was on the verge of the Bok bloodline drying up just because she was different from them. Only a few survivors hide their abilities and live in hiding.
She just wanted her son Gwi-joo to live a happy life.
But she couldn't see Gwi-joo's future marriage. Her granddaughter also shows no signs of any abilities.
Even on her granddaughter's 7th birthday, when she had a car accident, all she saw in her dream was a chaotic stock chart.
She never dreamed her daughter-in-law would pass away like that. She started suffering from insomnia around that time.

Bok Dong-hee - Soo Hyun

Gwi-joo's older sister. She has the ability to fly, but she can't fly because she's obese.
Bok Dong-hee was a woman who all men wanted because she was a model. After retiring, her body became heavy, and men left her. Whenever that happened, Dong-hee tried to hold onto the men with her wealth, but it was no use. She's on a 365-day diet to regain her lost self, but she's sprawled out in Gwi-joo's gym, rustling snack bags, and driving away the few members they have left.
Her family is controlling her to get married quickly and produce a descendant who can inherit the Bok family's abilities. The condition is attached. If she has a descendant, she'll get a 50 billion won building. However, a competitor appeared who wants the 50 billion won. Do Da-hae.

Bok Ina - Park So-yi

Gwi-joo's daughter. She hasn't shown any signs of the supernatural ability that runs in the Bok family even though she's in middle school, which is worrying her grandmother.
She doesn't care about the gift her ancestors gave her, and is addicted to her smartphone.
Thanks to that, she got a common ailment of modern people: severe myopia.

Eom Soon-goo - Oh Man-seok

Gwi-joo's father. He was an orphan and became a son-in-law at a young age and married Bok Man-heum, the only daughter of the Bok family, at the age of twenty.
He has lived a life of silence as the shadow of his wife who is busy dreaming while taking care of cooking, laundry, and cleaning, keeping the secret of the Bok family, almost completely cut off from the outside world. But he was content with his fate.
He feels empathy for Da-hae, who was married into the Bok family without knowing anything, even without parents to rely on, and tries to be a warm father-in-law to her.

Baek Il-hong - Kim Geum-soon

Da-hae's mother. She took Da-hae in and became her family when she had nowhere to go.
She seems to live a simple life, scrubbing people's backs at a bathhouse and selling baked eggs, but she's a suspicious woman who's actually been eating rice and tofu for a lifetime.
She acts like family, but when it comes to settling accounts, she's cold-hearted.

Grace - Ryu A-bel

Da-hae's younger sister. She can't speak English, but her body is quite exotic.
She wants to play an elegant role like Grace Kelly, but she complains that Baek Il-hong keeps making her do physical work.
She calls Da-hae 'unni' (older sister), but she's actually older than Da-hae. She also hid her real name and age.
When she was caught pretending to be younger, she said she just wanted to call her 'unni'.

No Hyeong-tae - Choi Kwang-rok

Da-hae's uncle. He has the looks of a violent criminal, but he's surprisingly sensitive.
