Our Season (Hyu-ga)

synopsis

On the third anniversary of the day she died, Bok-ja (Kim Hae-sook) receives a three-day vacation from heaven. She comes down to earth with Guide (Kang Ki-young), who is new on the job and explains the rules she must keep. The excitement of seeing her daughter, a professor at a prestigious university in the United States, whom she is very proud of, does not last long. Bok-ja is startled to find that her daughter Jin-ju (Shin Min-a) has returned to her rural home and is running a home-cooked meal restaurant. Oblivious to her mother's disappointment and frustrations, Jin-ju starts to recall her mother's recipes with her best friend Mi-jin (Hwang Bo-ra) who comes to visit her. As Jin-ju makes the familiar dishes, old memories of the mother and daughter surface.
