Three men who once stood at the top of their fields — a former NIS agent, North Korea's finest operative, and a legendary gangster — are exiled to the remote island of Yeongseon-do, bound together by the failure of a ferry operation ten years earlier. Hiding their identities as a restaurant cook and a convenience-store owner, they drift through an awkward ordinary life until the truth of that day and an old nemesis resurface, and the three stalled middle-aged men spring back into action. Shin Ha-kyun, Oh Jung-se and Heo Sung-tae join forces in this twelve-part MBC weekend action comedy blending laughs, loyalty and action.
The streets of the show's fictional "Imcheon City" borrow the old neighborhood of Soryong-dong in Gunsan wholesale, where a Jeonbuk Bank branch becomes "Imcheon Bank" and the Soryong Dream Pharmacy appears on screen with its real signboard intact. Stroll slowly through the weathered shopfronts and alleys the three middle-aged men loitered around to soak in the air of Gunsan's outskirts — all the more endearing for being so unglamorous.

The Soryong-dong area of Gunsan, which appears as the downtown streets of the drama's fictional "Imcheon City." Set against the Gunsan National Industrial Complex, this old neighborhood's worn storefronts, pharmacy and back-alleys became the stage for the three men's awkward everyday lives. Fans in particular trade notes on the former Jeonbuk Bank branch that stood in for Imcheon Bank, and the Soryong Dream Pharmacy, which appeared under its real name without a fictional sign.
