Mi-ra desperately looks for painless blood sugar monitoring devices globally and ends up importing 'DexCom' device, first time ever in Korea. Feeling empathetic to other patients, she begins to help other moms to buy the devices. However, Mi-ra faces accusations of illegal import. She decides to take on the world for those in pain.
