"Seo-Young, My Daughter" tells the story of a father who separates with his daughter, their love, hate and reconciliation. Seo-Young (Lee Bo-Young) is a senior in college who majors in law. During her summer vacation, she is busy with part-time jobs to pay for her living expenses and school tuition. One day, she gets a phone call that her mother has collapsed. Her parents live on Jeju Island. To get to the airport immediately, she hops on a motorcycle, belonging to someone else, and drives herself to the airport. Meanwhile, Woo-Jae (Lee Sang-Yoon) has just been discharged from the army and is in Gangnam to meet a friend. There, Seo-Young steals his motorcycle right in front of him and rides off. Woo-Jae attempts to chase her. Seo-Young is able to get to the airport and boards a flight to Jeju Island. When Seo-Young arrives at the hospital, she learns that her mother has already passed away. Seo-Young is shocked. Around this time, her father Sam-Jae (Cheon Ho-Jin) is gambling when he learns that his wife has passed away. Sam-Jae rushes to the hospital. After her funeral, Seo-Young knows that her father is in debt and pays off her his debt. Due to spending her money on her father's debt, Seo-Young now has to take the semester off from school. Seo-Young takes a job as a private tutor for Sung-Jae (Lee Jung-Shin). On the first day of her tutoring job she meets Woo-Jae (the guy she stole the motorcycle from) who is Sung-Jae's older brother.—AsianWiki

After a failed business attempt, Sam Jae gets involved in gambling, and his relationship with Seo Yeong grows distant. Though never ranking lower than first place, Seo Yeong has no tuition money and has to give up her dream of being a doctor and prepares for the bar exam. On the other hand, Seo Yeong's twin brother, Sang Woo, enrolls in medical school and makes an effort to fix the relationship with his father. The father wants to reconcile and ask for forgiveness from his daughter Seo Yeong, but she only feels hate and betrayal. Far apart, despite being physically close, will the father and daughter ever understand each other?—Rakuten Viki
