Overview

Lee Ra El is a student studying for a civil service exam that will transform her life, and is the sole meaning to her mother's existence. While working part-time at an all-you-can-eat restaurant that promises “premium Korean pork, or 100 thousand dollar compensation,” an ill-mannered customer stubbornly asks for “premium Korean pork.” Ra El is repeatedly forced to bring on new meat to the unyielding customer who is demanding “premium” meat. What has led her life to this point? Will Ra El make it through?
