Learning has taken place for both Betty and her parents.

In order to fulfill his vow, Gyeon-woo takes on the overwhelming task of playing the role of boyfriend to the girl. Although Gyeon-woo knows nothing about the girl, he wishes to “seek information to reduce uncertainty” (2007) and hopefully gain an
