Lee Sam-Tak, 28 and single, quit his job and moved back to his hometown to become a farmer, where he bought some farmland. He then had business cards printed with “Farmer” as his occupation and handed them out to everyone he met. He was worried that the neighbors, curious about his move to the countryside, might bombard him with annoying questions or gossip. Lee Sam-Tak handed out those business cards. And once he did, the word “farmer” printed on those cards became the name the locals used to address him. That’s right—it became his proper name. Even if Lee Sam-Tak is clumsy at farming and ruins the crops, people still call him “Farmer”—as if mocking him. Even when Lee Sam-Tak runs around the mountains day in and day out with a shotgun, claiming he’s hunting animals that harm the crops, people still call him “Farmer.” No, no. What if—just what if—for real! Let’s say Lee Sam-Tak says he’s “just taking a break.” Even then, they’d still call him “Farmer.” Those villagers would. Because that’s what Lee Sam-Tak wants.

Yeon-woo and her family of three live in an old, low-rise apartment building on the outskirts of Seoul. Her mother is always busy with work at a restaurant, and her older brother, a high school senior, is on edge preparing for the college entrance exam. To make matters worse, even her one and only best friend moves away, leaving Yeon-woo feeling like a loner. Then one day, she meets a friend in her dreams who looks exactly like her—a girl named Maeum (Heart). From that moment, Yeon-woo's life begins to change little by little. She becomes friends with Sol-i, who lives in the same building but was always awkward with her, and she starts opening her heart to neighbors she once viewed with prejudice. *Source: Kakao Page* **Original Webtoon:** [KakaoPage](https://page.kakao.com/content/69217112), [Daum](https://webtoon.kakao.com/content/%EB%A7%88%EC%9D%8C-%EB%B0%94%EB%8B%A4/4852)
