Born in Year of Mulberry

A couple, Ok-Nyeo and Hyeon-Bo, lives in a village near Ji-Ri Mountain. They are poor but happy. As healthy Hyeon-Bo gets sick, Ok-Nyeo takes care of him getting snakes and herbs for him but he doesn't get better. Thus Ok-Nyeo sells her body to men of the village for care of sick Hyeon-Bo. As they came to know this, village women give her mob violence. Even in this hard situation, their love is getting deeper. Mr. Choi, who wants for Ok-Nyeo, is impressed by their love while he is watching the couple. As he scares Hyeon-Bo and gives him a good scolding on purpose, Hyeon-Bo jumps out of bed to beat Mr. Choi soundly. Ok-Nyeo sheds tears due to her husband's dramatic resuscitation while Mr. Choi leaves leaving enough paper money and herbal medicine.
