Storyline

Cassiopeia is the brightest constellation and is located next to the North Star. The W-shaped constellation Cassiopeia circle around North Star in a period of 23 hours and 56 minutes. The North Star is a constellation that usually finds a way (used for navigation), it means the Cassiopeia as its parent constellation floats during the day next to the constellation that finds a way. “Cassiopeia, thus, is an important guide to finding the North Star. When you get lost, you can use Cassiopeia to find the North Star and then use the North Star to determine the direction. The same is true of the meaning of family in the work. Like the North Star, it doesn’t tell you the direction of life directly, but like Cassiopeia, it indirectly supports and protects you. It implies that family is always by your side and silently protecting you when you lose your way in life.”

Su-jin is a successful lawyer. After her divorce, she is having a perfect life as a lawyer and mother. She is preparing her daughter, Gina, to study in the United States. Her father In-woo lives with them and takes care of her granddaughter. She is suddenly diagnosed with Alzheimer’s after a car accident. Her father protects her staying by her side as she starts gradually turning into a young child due to loss of memory and a loving accompaniment begins.
